Anglican Peace and Justice Network addresses human rights for women,
children, migrants

>By Matthew Davies

[Episcopal News Service] Delegates attending the triennial meeting of
the Anglican Peace and Justice Network are urging "our churches to
incorporate issues of justice into missional work and into theological
education at every level."

Meeting March 14-20 in Geneva, Switzerland, some 30 network
participants representing 25 provinces of the Anglican Communion
focused their conversations on international laws as they relate to
non-discrimination and the rights of women, children and migrants.

The meeting also marked a major milestone for the network -- 25 years
of service to the Anglican Communion in addressing issues of global
injustice.

ENGLAND: Conservative group denounces consent to Glasspool's election
in Los Angeles

>By Matthew Davies

[Episcopal News Service] A conservative evangelical group in the
Church of England has censured the Episcopal Church for consenting to
the election of Los Angeles Bishop-elect Mary Glasspool, saying the
action "confirms" that the U.S. province "is determined to ignore all
the repeated appeals of the wider [Anglican] Communion."
