The Church of England's General Synod approved an amended resolu­ tion Feb. 10 to "recognize and affirm the desire of those who have formed the Anglican Church in N01th Amer­ ica to remain within the Anglican family" and to "acknowledge that this aspiration, in respect both of rela­ tions with the Church of England and membership of the Anglican Com­ munion, raises issues which the rele­ vant authorities of each need to explore further." The original private member's motion, proposed by LomaAshwortl1, not only affirmed the ACNA but declared the Church of England in communion with it. In effect, the res­ olution postpones further Church of England comment on the ACNAuntil General Synod meets again in 2011. ACNA quickly issued a statement celebrating General Synod's passage of the resolution on a 309-69 vote.
