Helpful Article about the Restructuring of the ACC

The discussions about restructuring our national church in the face of declining budgets and membership have been going on for a while. This article from the Anglican Journal is helpful to understanding what the national church is thinking about in terms of structures:

Less reliance on standing committees and more on task forces, a review of the size and function of General Synod, increased partnership with dioceses and other churches, an “overhaul” of the national church’s communications strategy and a review of the national stewardship initiative.

These are but a few of the wide-ranging, as well as immediate and long-term, changes that were identified in the national consultation convened by Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, last January 8 to 10 in Mississauga, Ont.
