Faith And Order Commission (Church Of England)
In 2010, the Faith and Order Commission of the General Synod of the Church of England was created out of the Faith and Order Advisory Group, which had been in existence since at least 1985. In the process of transformation from an 'Advisory Group' to a 'Commission of the General Synod' the organisation took over responsibility for investigating questions regarding the doctrine of the Church of England previously discharged on an occasional basis by a Doctrine Commission of the General Synod. The new commission also absorbed the House of Bishops Theological Group. As the successor to the Faith and Order Advisory Group the Commission maintains close links with thCouncil for Christian Unity The Faith and Order Commission comprises sixteen members (six bishops, one of whom is the Chair, and ten lay or ordained persons). The six bishops together comprise the House of Bishops Theological Group and are able to meet separately as required. The Commission meets four times per year. Members E ...

General Synod Of The Church Of England
The General Synod is the tricameral deliberative and legislative organ of the Church of England. The synod was instituted in 1970, replacing the Church Assembly, and is the culmination of a process of rediscovering self-government for the Church of England that had started in the 1850s. Church Assembly: 1919 to 1970 Before 1919, any change to the church's worship or governance had to be by Act of Parliament, which resulted in little being done. In 1919, the Convocations of the provinces of Canterbury and York adopted the constitution of the National Church Assembly proposed by the Representative Church Council and presented it to the king as an appendix to an address. The constitution as proposed to the sovereign was then recognised as already existing in the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 thus obtaining legal recognition of the assembly without implying that it had been created by Parliament or that Parliament could modify its constitution. By means of the Ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anglican–Roman Catholic International Commission
The Anglican–Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) is an organization created in 1969 which seeks to make ecumenical progress between the Anglican–Catholic dialogue. The sponsors are the Anglican Consultative Council and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (formerly the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity). ARCIC seeks to identify common ground between the two communions. Ecumenical relations have become strained, owing to the ordination of women within the Anglican Communion and, in more recent years, the Anglican communion has internally become increasingly more divided over issues concerning homosexuality. Preliminary phase: 1967–68 Three meetings were conducted by the Anglican–Roman Catholic Joint Preparatory Commission (ARCJPC) from 1967 to 1968. The first preparatory meeting was held in Italy, a meeting on the place of scripture in England and culminating in a meeting in Malta culminating in the Malta Report. First phase: 1970–81 Th ...

Doctrine Commission (Church Of England)
During the twentieth century, the Church of England periodically established a doctrine commission to report on an important theological question. The first commission "was appointed in 1922 and reported in 1938". In early years the commissions appear to have been appointed solely by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. In recent years the doctrine commission was constituted as a sub-commission of the General Synod. However, the members of the doctrine commission continued to be nominated by the Archbishops. In the early 1980s the House of Bishops took a greater interest in the work of the doctrine commission and the report ''We Believe in God'' (1987) was published "under its authority". This practice continued for the next three reports. After the completion of ''Being Human'' (2002) no further doctrine commission was nominated. In 2010 General Synod established a new permanent Faith and Order Commission of the General Synod which took over responsibility for producing theologica ...
