Archbishop of Canterbury welcomes 'constructive' Covenant statement

ENS 031605-1

[ENS, Source: Lambeth Palace] The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan
Williams, has welcomed the Covenant statement issued March 15 by the
House
of Bishops of the Episcopal Church of the United States of America
(ECUSA),
during their spring meeting in Camp Allen in Texas.

"I welcome this constructive response from ECUSA's House of Bishops,"
Williams said. "They have clearly sought to respond positively to the
requests made of them in the Windsor Report and in the Communiqué
issued
after the recent Primates Meeting. It is clear that there has been a
real
willingness to engage with the challenges posed."
