Just what we all want for Christmas

The Joint Standing Committee of the Primates Meeting and the Anglican Consultative Council, which has been renamed the Standing Committee of the Anglican Communion (which suggests that it may be about to attempt to exercise more power than it has) will consider the revised fourth section of the proposed Anglican Covenant when it meets next week in London.


The mysterious and frequently changing group known as Global South Anglican Primates Steering Committee is apparently ready to ratify it, sight unseen:

We aim to affirm the Anglican Covenant as the basis in intensifying the ecclesial life between churches in the Communion, and explore ways churches should stand firm side by side in one spirit and with one mind for the faith of the Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ. The Steering Committee emphasised that provincial and invited participants should be unequivocally committed to uphold the spirit and intent of the 1998 Lambeth Resolution 1.10 and the proposed Anglican Covenant (full Ridley Draft).

Emphasis added.
