"I felt that this meeting of Primates more than any other I have attended was characterised by a refreshing honesty and candour as we shared concerns and listened to each other.
I am deeply grateful that the fruit of the primates work together this week was a Pastoral Letter and Call to Prayer, and an action plan for work together as a Communion. They speak of a common commitment to our unity in Christ.
The frequent gathering of Primates is one of the main ways by which the 38 provinces of the Anglican Communion, representing over 70,000,000 Christians, express and build their unity.
The following annotated diary has been prepared to give some sense of the routine of the meeting, and to provide some context for the texts that were presented in the Plenary Gatherings. Texts will be available on the ACNS website as soon as transcriptions are made.
In this time of information overload it becomes increasingly difficult to translate statistics into reality. In many ways the issues of our day - debt, poverty, injustice and AIDS have become catchphrases that roll too easily off our tongues but are often extremely difficult to grasp. It has also become a survival tactic to tune out information that drives us out of our comfort zones.
I should like us: First: to reflect on Anglican experiences of church order and law. Second: to identify the role which the legal system of each Anglican church plays in the context of the global Anglican Communion - especially how collectively these systems point to an unwritten common law of the Anglican Communion. Third: to consider some practical ideas about how the law of each church might be developed to enhance global communion.
Two weeks away from the family feels like a very long time - however lovely the scenery, however friendly the locals. Something absurd happens, someone says something odd or amusing; and I think, 'I must tell my wife, she'd love that.' I look at advertisements in a local paper and think, 'The children would enjoy that.' I'm on my own, but not on my own. When I see, hear, react, the people I love best are there with me, in my mind and my feelings.
The 2001 gathering of the Primates of the Anglican Communion is underway at Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville, North Carolina. 35 of the 38 Primates are here.
El muchachito caminó alrededor de la cuadra con su pesada carga de dos maletas. El policía de Nueva York se fijó poco en su pequeña figura hasta que el niño había pasado frente a él cuatro veces. Detuvo al muchacho y le preguntó qué estaba haciendo: "Ocurre, señor," dijo, "que me he arrancado de mi casa, pero mi madre me dijo que nunca cruzara la calle." La historia podría representar bien, en esta estación de Cuaresma, nuestra naturaleza rebelde que, aunque desea la libertad, todavía siente las limitaciones que la ley moral impone en nuestros corazones.
The little boy trudged around his block carrying his heavy load of two suitcases. The NY policeman took little regard of the small figure until the boy had passed him four times. He stopped the lad and asked him what he was doing: 'Well, sir,' he said, 'I've run away from home but my mother always told me never to cross the road.' The story could well represent, in this season of Lent, our rebellious nature that desires freedom yet feels the constraint of the moral law in our hearts.

Holiness and Hope was the theme as the Primates (Chief Archbishops/Presiding Bishops/Moderators) of the 38 Provinces of the Anglican Communion met in Oporto, Portugal, from 23-28 March 2000.
We have been enriched by a study of Ephesians led by David Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University, which explored dimensions of the mystery of the Church and the holiness of our vocation and ministry.
It is good to be here in Oporto and to be with you for our meeting together. It is of course the first time we have all met since Lambeth, and we have a great deal to do in these few days; and we will inevitably be conscious of the high degree of interest and expectation around the Communion.
I am so delighted to be here this morning, with the Primates of our Anglican Communion, some of the wives of Primates who have come with their husbands, and the staff, led by the Secretary-General of the ACC, who are supporting our meeting.

As Primates of the Anglican Communion, gathered in the Holy City, Jerusalem, the Mother City of our Christian faith, we join with the Christian leaders in the Holy Land in a call for peace, justice and equality for all people. Of particular concern for us is the status of Jerusalem, a place sacred to the three great world religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam
Given by The Most Rev. Edmond L. Browning Presiding Bishop, Episcopal Church USA. I have no intention of repeating the eloquent words of the Archbishop of Canterbury on Tuesday evening, when he spoke of the future of Jerusalem, this golden city beloved of so many people. At other times, and in other places, I have had my say. Today I simply want to place myself squarely behind the archbishop.
Buses left St George's Cathedral early Friday morning for the two hour drive to Gaza for the Primates of the Anglican Communion as they continue their meeting in the Holy Land. The Primates entered Palestine by foot as they changed to UN buses at the Erez checkpoint, where they handed over passports to be collected on the way back to Israel.
CONCERNING THE KILLING OF ISRAELI CHILDREN AT JORDAN BORDER
The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Primates of the Anglican Communion, meeting in Jerusalem, wish to express their sympathy to the families of the young school children killed today at the Jordan border.
As the primates of the worldwide Anglican Communion gathered for their week-long meeting in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by Archbishop of Canterbury George L. Carey, spiritual leader of the Communion, to a city "where dreams collide."
