Primates Meeting 2005

News & Resources
The Primates of the Anglican Communion gathered at the Dromantine Conference Centre near Newry, Northern Ireland, February 21-25. International concerns facing the leaders included relief efforts after the South Asia tsunami, HIV/AIDS and the church's response, and a priority for the gathering is to receive and discuss the Windsor Report, the culmination of almost a year's dialogue between the 17-member Lambeth Commission on Communion. The report, which was officially released in October 2004, includes recommendations on how the 38 Anglican and Episcopal provinces can remain in communion, especially amid differing viewpoints. News and resources pertaining to the Primates Meeting can be found below.
