Communiqué Compliance Office's February/March Report Available for Download
The Communiqué Compliance Office (CCO) of the American Anglican Council (AAC) has released its first report, which covers the latter half of February and the month of March, and has posted it online for downloading from the AAC Web site at http://www.americananglican.org/ (under Current Resources). You may also download the document here directly (PDF format).The document contains links to articles on the AAC Web site that support the information provided in the report. Although a hard copy version of the CCO report, including this background information, is available in very limited numbers, the AAC strongly urges online downloading in an effort to conserve resources.

The CCO was formed by the AAC immediately following the February 2007 meeting of the Anglican primates in Tanzania as a means for monitoring The Episcopal Church's compliance and defiance with respect to the requirements called for in the primates' communiqué. The CCO will monitor the actions and words by TEC bishops, dioceses and leaders in the period leading up to the Sept. 30 deadline, by which time the primates have requested the Church's response to the communiqué's requests.

The CCO will issue similar reports in the future on a regular basis. In addition, the AAC welcomes the continued assistance from readers in helping collect information for the CCO files. If you have information pertaining to your parish and/or diocese that indicates TEC's compliance and/or defiance of the primates' communiqué, please send it to:
