Anglican Consultative Council Meeting Postponed to March, 1976
Diocesan Press Service. October 28, 1974 [74296]
LONDON, England -- The third of the two-yearly meetings of the 55 member Anglican Consultative Council representing 65 million Anglicans throughout the world, due to have met in Perth, Western Australia, in August 1975, has been postponed following the cancellation of the World Council of Churches' Assembly in Djakarta in July 1975.
The new venue for the next meeting of the ACC, now to be held in March, 1976, has yet to be decided.
A number of the clerical and lay members of the Anglican Consultative Council who are also representatives at the World Council of Churches would have travelled from Djakarta to Perth. The new venue for the World Council of Churches is now Nairobi in November/December 1975. To have mounted a further international Church conference following that meeting would have left insufficient time for the clerical and lay members of the Council to return to their dioceses before Christmas.
The Secretary General of the Anglican Consultative Council is Bishop John Howe.
