Faith and Order Commission
The Faith and Order Commission of the General
Synod
came into being in 2010 and replaced the Faith and Order
Advisory Group and the Doctrine
Commission.
The former House of Bishops Theological Group
became an Episcopal Reference Group within the Commission.
The Commission (FAOC) has fifteen members and
an episcopal chair (currently the Bishop of Chichester, the Right
Reverend Dr John Hind).
FAOC advises the House of Bishops, the General
Synod and the Council for Christian Unity on ecclesiological and
ecumenical matters and acts as a theological resource for the
Church of England as a whole.
FAOC published its report The Journey of Christian
Initiation in 2011 and is currently working on the theology of
church leadership. Follow the link on the right for a preview.
