Bishop James elected to Chair the Anglican Communion Consultative Council

We were delighted to hear that on 8 May our Bishop, Rt Revd James Tengatenga was elected as the new chair of the Anglican Consultative Council.  Over the past years Bishop James has been a member of the ACC, also of the Joint Standing Committee of the ACC and the Primates Meeting of the Anglican Communion. Bishop James has a wide variety of experience in the communion and most recently served as a member of the Design Group for the Lambeth Conference in 2008. We read that the meeting in Jamaica the Anglican Consultative Council broke into enthusiastic applause with the announcement of Bishop’s James election.  We offer our congratulations to Bishop James and prayers of support as he takes on this demanding role at a time when the Worldwide Anglican Church faces many challenges.
