The Church of the Province of South East Asia has adopted the 
Anglican Communion Covenant saying that "In acceding to the Anglican 
Communion Covenant, we (Diocese or Province) are seeking with other 
Covenanting Provinces and Dioceses to express our communion with the 
Triune God and with one another, to guard the boundary-markers of the 
good deposit of the faith once for all delivered, and to be faithful 
witnesses of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the fellowship we have 
with God and one another, and in common mission and ministry to the world."
South East Asia is the fourth Anglican Communion Province to 
officially adopt the Covenant, the others being The Anglican Church 
of Mexico, The Church of the Province of Myanmar and The Church in 
the Province of the West Indies.
