Therefore, we have decided to consecrate a missionary bishop who will be tasked with providing episcopal leadership for those who are outside the structures of any Anglican province, especially in Europe.

[7] The Primates who attended were Nicholas Okoh (Nigeria), Stanley Ntagali (Uganda), Daniel Deng Bul (Sudan and South Sudan), Jacob Chimeledya (Tanzania), Jackson Ole Sapit (Kenya), Onesphore Rwaje (Rwanda), Zacharie Masimango Katanda (Congo), Daniel Sarfo (West Africa), Gregory Venables (South America), Ng Moon Hing (Southeast Asia), and Mouneer Anis (Jerusalem and the Middle East).

AMiE's canons forbid Anglo-Catholic vesture, take a strict approach to remarriage after divorce, and require doctrinal subscription for church membership.

By contract, ACE permits the ordination of women as deacons and priests but not as bishops "out of respect for the diversity of views within global Anglicanism, and for the sake of unity.
