[Anglican Mainstream] 20 Apr 2007--The Archbishop of Canterbury has accepted the invitation of the American House of Bishops to meet with them prior to the September 30 deadline set by the Primates for compliance with the Dar es Salaam communique. A date for the trip, which was announced during an April 16 press conference at the Anglican Church of Canada’s headquarters in Toronto, was not given.

However, the Rev Jonathan Jennings, the Archbishop’s press spokesman, told The Church of England Newspaper that Dr “Williams intended to travel to the US sometime in September, after his return from a three-month vacation and sabbatical. Joining Dr Williams on the all-expenses-paid trip to the US would be “some of the joint standing committee members” of the Anglican Consultative Council and the Primates, he noted. Details for the visit have yet to be worked out, the press spokesman noted, as the primates’ schedules have yet to be coordinated.
