Consulations began!

Anglicans are pushing the boundary; ECUSA - no. Lol.

I've bumped into the official statement after the consultations and the bylaw of the Assemblies.

There will be 12 areas for that Episcopal Assemblies:
1. North and Middle America
2. South America,
3. Australia, News Zealand and Oceania
4. Great Britain and Ireland
5. France
6. Benelux countries
7. Austria
8. Italy and Malta.
9. Switzerland and Liechtenstein
10. Germany
12. Scandinavian countries (apart from Finland)
13. Spain and Portugal

The assemblies must start before the Pan-Orthodox Council. Bishops from all Churches in communion with mainstream EOs will seat there. Retired and guest Hierarchies can be allowed to participate without the law to vote. The main goals are to promote unity between Churches and to make joint statements to the others. The assemblies will also discuss the issues and relations to the Churches outside the communion (like OC Churches, OCF and so on). They must gather at least once per year.

I won't post direct links because they're in Polish

I'm wondering about two things:
- What will happen if there are more than two EP's Hierarchs? Who will preside the assemblies: the Greek one or the oldest one?
- Are there any place where there aren't any EP's Bishop (I mean from the list of course)?

I really need the bylaw of the Assemblies in English as soon as possible. Please send me if you have a digital copy. It can be even rough machine translation.

Dear Mike,

Would really like to have the links, and it doesn't matter if they are in Polish.

Here you are:

But it seems that you've managed to deal with it.

Yes, thanks, Mike.  I did not know when you would be logging in again, and so I took a chance and clicked on the website for your Church and bingo!  there was the information!   I wonder why no other Church is making it available?
