Pastoral Letter 2017

The bishops of the Reformed Episcopal Church (REC) met on October 2, 2017, for prayer, fellowship, planning for the renewal and planting of Reformed Episcopal parishes, and discussion of other matters concerning the church. Reformed Episcopal bishops from Canada, England, Croatia, Germany, and Brazil were present by teleconference call. Among the topics discussed was the September 5-7, 2017 statement issued by the College of Bishops of the Anglican Church in North American (ACNA), regarding the ordination of women. This Pastoral Letter addresses that that statement.
