Primates Meeting set for January 2011 in Dublin, Ireland

>By Matthew Davies

[Episcopal News Service] The next Primates Meeting will be held Jan.
25-31, 2011, at the Emmaus Retreat & Conference Centre in Dublin,
Ireland, an announcement from the Anglican Communion Office has
confirmed.

Primates are the senior archbishops and presiding bishops elected or
appointed to lead each of the 38 autonomous provinces of the Anglican
Communion. They are invited to the Primates Meetings, which are held
every two or three years, by the archbishop of Canterbury to consult
on theological, social, and international issues.

Since they last met in February 2009 in Alexandria, Egypt, nine new
primates have been elected in Congo, Kenya, Korea, Melanesia, North
India, Pakistan, Scotland, South India, and the West Indies.
