Resolution 13
Unity: Locally, nationally and internationally
This Conference:
Acknowledging that the withdrawal of Anglicans from several previous covenanting proposals and schemes of unity with Methodist, Reformed and other Churches is a cause for sorrow and repentance, nevertheless is encouraged by:
1. the continuing unity conversations in the Consultation on Church Union (USA) and the Welsh covenanting proposals; 2. the developing partnerships in oversight of ecumenical ventures which is being shared by bishops with the leaders of other Churches; 3. the local unity developing in various countries such as the co-operating parishes in New Zealand, the "shared ministries" in Canada and the local ecumenical projects (with the proposed new canons) in England.
4. Recognizes the special pastoral needs of inter-Church families and wishes to express its support and encouragement for the work of associations of inter-Church families and all forms of work locally and internationally which seek to help them.
