Churchy Q&A: What's going on in Tanzania?

On February 14-19, the leaders of Anglican churches worldwide will meet in Tanzania. These leaders are called Primates, and they meet every three years in order to prayerfully discuss the issues facing Anglicanism and each of the member churches. The first Primates' Meeting took place in 1979, convened by Archbishop of Canterbury, Donald Coggan. It is considered one of the "Instruments of Unity," along side the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lambeth Conference, and the Anglican Consultative Council.

The Episcopal Church (USA) is represented at the Primates' Meetings by the Presiding Bishop, now Katharine Jefferts Schori.
