The forthcoming Standing Committee meeting will welcome two new 
members from Asia and Africa: Bp Paul Sarker (Moderator of the Church 
of Bangladesh and Bishop of Dhaka) and Revd Canon Janet Trisk of 
South Africa (Rector of the Parish of St David, Prestbury in 
Pietermaritzburg, in the Diocese of Natal).

The two new additions and the existing members face a packed agenda 
for their July meeting that includes reports on finance, mission, the 
Anglican Relief and Development Alliance, evangelism and church 
growth, and unity, faith and order including the progress of 
consideration of the Anglican Communion Covenant by the Provinces.

They will also be discussing Standing Committee membership issues 
including electing a successor to Bp Azad Marshall, Bishop of Iran, 
and noting the resignations of Archbishops Justice Akrofi and Henry Orombi.

Outside of Committee business, the members' agenda includes visits to 
Lambeth Palace, its library and Westminster Abbey.
