The 1988 meeting of the General Convention in Detroit adopted Res. D126a regarding the "global environment." That resolution requested,among other things, that the Executive Council "give high priority" to the development of a "statement of policy and plan of action regarding stewardship of the global environment," and that any such policy and plan"be presented to the (1991) General Convention for approval." This resolution of the council is intended to carry out this responsibility. Moreover, it has been adopted in the light of a changing perception in the Anglican Communion,as well as other denominations, that the Church's approach to environmental issues should entail a broad view of the relationship between the environmental and creation. It has been adopted after prayerful study of and reflection upon the numerous materials that have been made available for its guidance.
