Bishop Mouneer AnisBishop Mouneer Anis has shared his thoughts on last week’s “Joint Standing Committee” meeting in London –

“By the time I finished the meetings of the JSC, I realised that I lost many of the hopes which I had before the meeting. …

I cannot see any desire to follow things through as decided before. The Windsor Report recommendations, which was accepted by everyone since it was produced in 2004 is a very good example. … What action did we take or recommend in the JSC meeting? The answer is nothing. …

While the presence of the Presiding Bishop of TEC was so important during discussions, her presence as we decided about resolutions of assessment of the response of TEC inhibited other members from speaking freely. …”
