Peterson In another article in this edition of the Communicator, our President, Bishop Andy Doyle, presents the need to financially support the bishops and spouses of the Anglican Communion so that all of them can attend next year’s Lambeth Conference.

  • HKSKH Church Policy Paper
    香港聖公會 HONG KONG SHENG KUNG HUI 第七屆總議會 The 7th General Synod 香港聖公會教會政策文件 HONG KONG SHENG KUNG HUI CHURCH POLICY PAPER Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Church Policy Paper Preface 1. Since the establishment of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (HKSKH) in 1998, the Province has always been committed to God’s ministry in Hong Kong and Macau. Soon the Province will be approaching her twentieth anniversary, this offers us a chance to reflect upon our past, examine our present, and plan for the future through our faith and tradition. We anticipate a dynamic future for our Church: a Church which is faithful and relevant. We aim for the church to be a church serving the Lord faithfully, leading people in seeking the Lord, enabling people in response to God’s calls in their own contexts and to be a blessing for our society in our time. For a better tomorrow, the Provincial Standing Committee of the Sixth General Synod has now prepared a mission statement and related policies for the Seventh General Synod and would like to invite the Synodic members to discuss and adopt the motion. 2. This Church policy paper aims not at solving existing problems, nor is it made to respond to the current issues in Hong Kong. The purpose of drafting the Church policy paper is to serve as a reminder for every member of HKSKH that through probing the fundamental question of what is the purpose of the Church’s existence, we may envision the future of HKSKH. This is done by rediscovering the core values of the church: what it is for and what it is about and then letting the Church just be Church.

To help the development of Provincial Secretaries in their role and to increase their knowledge of the different ways in which that role is expressed in different Provinces. 3. To exchange information and experience on issues that face Provincial Secretaries. 4. To learn about the life and concerns of the host Province. Thanks It was a privilege to attend the Provincial Secretaries Conference representing the Church of Ireland on behalf of the Chief Officer Mr Denis Reardon, who was unable to attend. I would like to thank the Standing Committee and the Chief Officer for this opportunity to experience another aspect of the Church of Ireland in the context of the world-wide network of the Anglican Communion. The meeting provided an insight into the life of the Communion through the eyes of key administrators and an opportunity to establish bonds of friendship with colleagues around the globe. Host Province The meeting was hosted by the Province of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (The Church of the Province of Hong Kong).

  • Response to Windsor Report
    Maintaining the Bonds of Affection and the Discovering of Objects of Love: An East Asian Response to the Windsor Report 2004 Michael Nai-Chiu Poon, Singapore The Primates’ Standing Committee asks whether the description of the life of the Communion in Sections A and B of the Report we can recognize as consistent with our understanding of the Communion. My answer, in brief, is no. Let me be clear from the start. I long for churches in the Communion to move closer together than go their separate ways. To do this, we must shift from the paradigm of trying to maintain “Bonds of Affection” towards a more open and provisional vision of discovering the “Objects of Love” in our common journey1. A Question of Social Identity Section B of the Report deals with the issue of identity. The Report reminds us, alongside the spiritual bond we share as children of God in Christ, of the “shared and inherited identity which is the particular history of the churches to which we belong”2 It goes on in the next paragraph to trace the history of “the Anglican Communion”, recalling our roots in “the ancient churches of the British Isles.” Then the Report proceeds to deal with how the institutional churches can and should work together in the common task of discernment. Indeed, back in Section A, the Lambeth Commission cites the issue of the ordination of women to the priesthood as a case in point of how mutual discernment and decision making operate in the Communion.3 The central problem today in the Communion, so the Report announces at the end of the prognosis, is that “we have not always fully articulated how authority work within Anglicanism.”4 And I do not think it is unfair to add that by “authority”, the Commission has in mind institutional authority.
