The Primates, or leaders, of the 38 provinces of the Anglican Communion will gather next week in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. According to Archbishop Drexel Gomez (Primate of the West Indies), six topics will dominate the meeting's agenda (as published in a recent Bahama Journal article):
1. The response of the Episcopal Church in The United States to the Windsor Report
2. The ongoing relationship between the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion
3. An Anglican Covenant
4. The Lambeth Conference 2008
5. Theological education in the Anglican Communion
6. Ecumenical relations

Anglican Primates Prayer Campaign
The American Anglican Council (AAC) will offer regular online coverage of the meeting, primarily through our BLOG and Web site. In addition, we will send e-mail updates regarding important developments at the meeting when they occur.
Please join the AAC in praying for the Primates as they gather Monday, Feb. 12 through Monday, Feb. 19 (the meeting officially begins on Feb. 14, but many are assembling early for pre-meetings). Pray for their physical and spiritual safety and for their decisions and discussions to be informed by God's wisdom and guidance.
