The Archbishop of the Province of the West Indies has announced that his Province has adopted the Anglican Communion Covenant. It is the third to do so officially, the others being the Anglican Church of Mexico and The Church of the Province of Myanmar.
Speaking from the Primates’ Meeting in Dublin, Ireland, Archbishop John Holder said his Province saw the Covenant as something that will enable the Anglican Communion to move into the future.
“We see it as a workable document that can help the Anglican Communion to move forward while still addressing issues that face its member Churches,” he said. “For some, the document is only being seen in the light of sexuality issues. That’s a restrictive view. It is a document that can help us to function in relation to the many issues that will arise in the Communion. Today it’s human sexuality, tomorrow it will be something else.

Note: The Church of England and the Anglican Church of Southern Africa have both also given provisional endorsements to the Covenant, with final ratification at their next Provincial meetings.
