The Ekklesia website reports today (November 4, 2010) that an international coalition of Anglicans has been established to campaign against the proposed Anglican Covenant, which has been backed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Campaigners from all sections of the Church argue that the proposed Covenant constitutes unwarranted interference in the internal life of the member churches of the Anglican Communion.
The proposed Covenant establishes mechanisms which would have the effect of forcing member churches to conform to the demands and expectations of their churches or risk exclusion from the Communion.
Critics of the proposed Anglican Covenant believe that it will fundamentally alter the nature of historic Anglicanism by concentrating its authority in a small number of bishops.
