The presence of a member of the Anglican Church of North American (ACNA) on the Anglican Consultative Council's Evangelism and Church Growth Initiative (ECGI) is not a stalking horse for the 'back door' recognition of the breakaway group, a spokesman for the Anglican Consultative Council tells The Church of England Newspaper.

From Feb 14-17 members of the ECGI met in Kuala Lumpur to share "stories of evangelism and church growth from around the Communion" a statement from the Anglican Communion News Service said.

The meeting was chaired by Bishop Patrick Yu from Toronto and hosted by Bishop Moon Hing Ng of West Malaysia. "It included members from Melanesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, South Africa, Kenya, England and the USA, with staff from the Anglican Communion Office," ACNS reported.
