		The remedies set forth in WR are all bracketed by "the imperatives of communion," namely, "repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation."

		The Anglican Consultative Council at its last gathering in 2002 passed a resolution that noted “the constant emphasis on mutual responsibility and interdependence in the resolutions of successive Lambeth Conferences” and “the call in 1998 for a ‘common mind concerning ethical issues where contention threatens to divide’ ”.

		They therefore asked them to “voluntarily withdraw their members from the Anglican Consultative Council for the period leading up to the next Lambeth Conference” while they responded to the Report and noted they must “consider their place within the Anglican Communion”.
