He noted that Archbishop Deng had not been able to obtain a visa; Archbishop Bernard Ntahoturi will be present as his alternate. He welcomed Bishop Samuel Azariah who had been unable to attend the previous meeting. He thanked Dato’ Stanley Isaacs who will not be able to attend the ACC-15 meeting and thus is attending for the last time. 2. Minutes of the last Meeting 26 to 30 March 2011 The minutes had been circulated to members of the Standing Committee. After corrections the minutes were approved. Resolution 1: Minutes of the last Standing Committee meeting That the Standing Committee adopts the minutes of the Standing Committee meeting held 26 to 31 March 2011 and authorises the Chair to sign the minutes on behalf of the Standing Committee. Business arising: 2 Resolution 2: The Primates’ Meeting That the Standing Committee continues to be saddened by absences at the Primates’ Meeting 2011, which diminishes our common life, and urges all Primates to continue to work for reconciliation within the Communion. 3. Archbishop of Canterbury The Crown Nominations Commission (CNC) includes one Primate elected by the Standing Committee. The Secretary General explained the process which had taken place to choose this person. The Most Revd Dr Barry Morgan was elected through an email ballot. It was observed that nominating and voting by email was not a very satisfactory process. It would have been better to have had the opportunity to talk about who would be the best representative. It was proposed that after the next Archbishop is appointed the Standing Committee elect a continuing member to serve as required by the CNC. It was agreed to recommend this to the Standing Committee meeting following ACC-15, and that an alternate should also be elected. 4. Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement SC/2012/04/1 A memorandum of Understanding & Agreement between the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Secretary General was presented. It was noted that this business was following up the Handford Report which had been discussed at an earlier Standing Committee meeting. Clarification of the term ‘executive’ was sought by the members from the United States, as it has some difference of meaning there than in Britain. It was agreed that this Memorandum would be passed to the new Archbishop and be part of the job mandate for the next Secretary General. Resolution 3: Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement That the Standing Committee notes the Memorandum of Understanding & Agreement between the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Secretary General. On a related matter, the Secretary General sought permission to have a meeting of the Standing Committee in association with the installation of the next Archbishop of Canterbury, the date of which is not known. If this service were to be held before the financial statements are available, they would have to be considered by e-mail afterwards. The Standing Committee agreed to this procedure. 5. Secretary General’s Report The Secretary General reported: • Overall the Anglican Communion Office has had a very successful year with most of the areas of programmatic work achieving progress, goals and targets. There is also an awareness that a number of programmes (Continuing Indaba and Theological Education especially) are funded on a 3 year cycle, and that cycle is coming to an end, and this has been difficult for some. • The Anglican Alliance has settled (began in January 2011) in well and is proving to be a significant force for change in the Communion. 3 • Ecumenical conversations – especially with the Orthodox family of Churches and the Roman Catholic Church – are progressing and addressing some very major issues which face us all. It is noticeable that missional issues and issues surrounding co-ordination and co-operation are taking over from doctrinal issues in several other conversations. • Finances continue to be under pressure, reflecting the pressure many Provinces themselves are under. • The Provincial Secretaries meeting in Mexico in August last year provided a very useful opportunity for communicating what was happening in the Communion to key players in the Provinces, and included presentations on Communications, the Alliance, and Gender Based Violence. • The Secretary General had undertaken a Provincial visit to Tanzania in December when he attended and addressed the Provincial Synod under the overall theme of ‘Leadership in the Church of God’. He also visited the Theological College in Dodoma and preached in the Cathedral. • In February he visited the Anglican Church in Doha, Qartar and spent some days with the priest there. What is happening there is truly amazing, with a huge Anglican Complex being built for a substantial Anglican congregation, which will also host worship and meeting places for vast numbers of other Church communities. • He followed that with a visit to Kuching in Malaysia for the installation of Bishop Bolly Lapok as Primate of South East Asia, and spent some days visiting some thriving parishes in the diocese. Members asked: - how indigenous the church in the Middle East is. - about the process for reception of ecumenical agreements - what role there might be for the Secretary General in the context of the challenges of the Communion. Resolution 4: The Secretary General’s Report The Standing Committee receives the Secretary General’s report. 6. Co-options to ACC by Standing Committee “The Standing Committee may appoint up to six additional members in order to achieve balanced representation and to assist with the work of the Council in achieving its objects.” The last Standing Committee meeting decided to invite the Church of Ceylon to nominate a lay woman for co-option to ACC. The Church has nominated the Rt Revd Dhiloraj Canagasabey. The Secretary General has written twice to the Church pointing out the difficulty with this and has also spoken to the bishop concerned, but no fresh nomination has been received. The Standing Committee expressed considerable unease about this and after lengthy discussions passed the following: Resolution 5: Co-options to ACC by Standing Committee: Ceylon That the Standing Committee co-opt the Rt Revd Dhiloraj Canagasabey of the Anglican Church of Ceylon for the meeting of ACC-15 only. This was carried with 3 against. The Standing Committee had asked the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Secretary General to consider names from the ‘Europe’ region, and they are proposing the Revd Canon Dr Ulla Monberg. 4 Resolution 6: Co-options to ACC by Standing Committee: Europe That the Standing Committee co-opt the Revd Canon Dr Ulla Monberg as a co-opted member of the ACC. This was carried with 2 abstentions. 7. Provincial Representation at ACC The Resolution addressing numbers of Provincial representatives had been approved by the Primates, with one negative. 8. Representation of the Anglican Church of Canada A letter was received by the Secretary General shortly after the last meeting stating that the calculation of members in the Anglican Church of Canada was incorrect, and a more recent letter has been received detailing that members in the Church exceed 1,000,000, the number required to have 3 representatives at ACC.

    Country Policy and Information Note Pakistan: Christians and Christian converts Version 4.0 February 2021 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • The Church of PAKISTAN

    The Church of PAKISTAN

    The Church OF PAKISTAN Introduction The Anglican Communion consists of 40 autonomous churches, also known as provinces around the world. It encompasses over 165 countries. This is a short introduction to The Church of Pakistan. More information about The Anglican Communion and each of the Member Churches can be found at anglicancommunion.org. Important Information Short History The Church of Pakistan is the result of the union of four denominations: Anglican, Methodist, Lutheran and Presbyterian (Scottish), which took place in 1970. The United Presbyterian Church which had been involved in the negotiations did not join. Initially there were four dioceses in the Church of Pakistan, i.e. Karachi, Multan, Lahore and Sialkot, but in 1980, through a special resolution and for better ministerial work, four new dioceses were created: Hyderabad, Raiwind, Faisalabad and Peshawar. There are eight active diocesan bishops with an additional bishop for the Gulf Ministries. This appointment was made to take care of the pastoral and worship needs of Urdu-speaking workers in the Gulf. There is a presiding bishop for the Church of Pakistan who is known as the moderator and has responsibility for a three-year term. The United Church of Pakistan is the second largest church in the country after the Roman Catholic Church. PAKISTAN Primate(s) The Most Rev.
