Following a regional conference on mission and ministry, the board of the American Anglican Council released the following statement:

"Significant changes in the life of the Episcopal Church have been troubling to many, and the church has witnessed a variety of responses to these developments. While also concerned by certain of these developments, the American Anglican Council remains faithfully committed to the Episcopal Church of the United States and continues to seek to reform our common life by aggressive mission and grace-filled engagement of the existing as well as the developing processes of our church.

"We are disappointed and saddened by the recent actions of some of our brothers and sisters in the Anglican Mission in America, specifically the recent consecrations in Denver, which can only be interpreted as divisive of our common life in Christ. The AAC continues to pray and work for the spread of the gospel and for the unity of the Anglican Communion."
