This document introduces the Anglican Communion Covenant, emphasizing the divine call to communion with Jesus Christ and the responsibilities it entails. It discusses the theological basis for the covenant and its implications for the life and mission of the Church.
The Anglican Communion Office (ACO) is the official secretariat of the Anglican Communion – a worldwide network of Anglican churches, in over 165 countries. The ACO connects member churches, encourages global mission, fosters Christian unity, promotes ecumenism and amplifies Anglican advocacy.
The ACO also supports and facilitates the ‘Instruments of Communion’: The Anglican Consultative Council, The Lambeth Conference, the Primates’ Meeting and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
