THE LAMBETH COMMENTARY was published this week, setting out the responses of the bishops at the Lambeth Conference in their discussions of the “St Andrew's Draft” for an Anglican Covenant.
The idea for an Anglican Covenant was first mooted in the Windsor Report. The Covenant Design Group (CDG) was established to further the project, and gave a preliminary report and draft for the covenant in 2007. They met again in January 2008 and produced a second report and the St Andrew’s Draft which was considered in detail by the bishops at the Lambeth Conference.
The Commentary was complied by the CDG at their recent meeting in Singapore and also sets out some of the initial thinking of the CDG in response to the comments of the bishops.
