The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Panel of Reference is due to meet next week on 9th May, and it has been reported that the panel will review the ever-widening divisions within the Diocese of Westminster in Canada, according to the Church of England newspaper.
The Executive Director of the Anglican Network in Canada, Cheryl Chang, has stated that it had been told by Panel representatives “that our application has been sent to the Panel members and is currently under consideration,” report the Church of England Newspaper.
The Panel was given the commission by Dr Williams to offer mediation and guidance following the February 2005 Primates’ Meeting that took place in Northern Ireland. However, since that time much criticism has been given to the Panel due to its apparent slowness in reaching decisions and conclusions.
