Resolved, That the 70th General Convention, in view of the emerging agreement of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion with the ancient Oriental Orthodox churches, in view of the strategic and delicate situation of those ancient churches in the lands of the Middle East today, and in view of the increasing importance of their presence in the United States, commend these churches to the prayers of the Episcopal Church, urge its members to acquaint themselves more thoroughly with these churches as they are described in the book entitled Light From the East, and direct the Standing Commission on Ecumenical Relations to continue the Anglican-Oriental Orthodox Consultation.
