The Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, has announced that he will retire after next year’s General Synod and the election of his successor.
The announcement was made at a meeting of the Canadian House of Bishops in Niagara Falls, Canada, after he has previously given private notification to the four Canadian Metropolitan Archbishops of his decision.
Archbishop Hutchison, who was only elected at the last General Synod in St Catharines, Ont., reminded Anglican bishops that he had said right after his election in June 2004 that his would be a one-triennium primacy.
