This report will be of interest to anyone concerned with evaluation and organization of the church at any level from the national through provincial and diocesan to the parish.

The commission was established by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to "review the central policy-making and resource direction machinery of the Church of England." It was chaired by the Rt. Rev. Michael Turnbull, Bishop of Durham. The commission reached unanimous conclusions in this "Turnbull Report."

It reaffirms the fundamental ecclesiological significance of the Anglican model of episcopal leadership with synodical governance. Although they refer specifically to the Church of England, the recommendations are based upon carefully articulated theological principles which are not merely set forth in introductory chapters, but related to each suggestion for organization.

The Turnbull Report provides a valuable resource to the many efforts to address the same concerns about our church. Its conclusions emphasize the need for integrated systems and the priority of communication within and between them.

In an appendix, the report includes an "Illustrative Draft Measure" as a model to implement the recommended changes. Such legislation has no relation to Episcopal Church polity but is nevertheless of interest in addressing common problems.
