Anglicans to re-evaluate how they interpret Scripture
The Anglican Consultative Council expressed support on Saturday for a project that will explore the ways Anglicans worldwide read and interpret Scripture.
Initial plans for a project exploring the way or ways the Bible is used in the life of the Anglican Communion were discussed in February 2007 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Since then a more detailed proposal has been drawn up.
The Bible in the Life of the Church is a three-year project that will involve wide, regionally based, grassroots participation from around the Anglican Communion.

Additionally, the project is expected to incorporate "previous work done in this field" by some of the Communion's ecumenical partners....
