Packer, editor Taking the Anglican Communion Seriously by Terry Buckle and Archie Pell published by Preface To The Series The Anglican Agenda series of publications aims to open up current ques- tions that call for thought, discussion, prayer and decision among members of the Anglican Church of Canada at this time. The series is sponsored by the Essentials movement, which seeks all-round renewal of life and strength in the Anglican Church, and its writers are Anglican Church personnel speaking out of their loyalty to the Church and their acute sense of its present needs. It is hoped that the series will spark deep personal reflection and group discussion within and between parishes, so that we all may be better prepared for the dif- ficult and demanding era into which, as it seems, our Church is now entering.

Dr. Archie Pell is a Sessional Lecturer in the Anglican Studies Programme at Regent College.

The term “contribution” refers to either a speech made in a debate or a question raised in a presentation. Supplementaries asked during the Questions item and contributions made by the mover or presenter of any item have not been included in the total numbers.
