Anglicans who have sought communion with Rome are giving a positive initial reaction to the apostolic constitution released.

In a report posted today on the Messenger Journal, the Great Britain province of the Traditional Anglican Communion said they are “the first to accept” the Vatican initiative.

The vote was unanimous including mail-in votes from those not present, and took place before the constitution was even released, the report explained.

“Significantly, this vote took place in the birthplace of the Anglican Communion,” the statement added. “The synod was held at St. Catherine’s Priory, a restored monastic house destroyed by Henry VIII.”
