The Archbishops' Council is a part of the governance structures of the Church of England.
The council was created in 1999 to provide a central executive body to co-ordinate and lead the work of the church.
This was a partial implementation of the recommendations of the report "Working Together as One Body" produced by Michael Turnbull (then Bishop of Durham) in 1994.
Missionary Disciples: All Anglicans envisioned, resourced, and released to live out the five marks of mission in the whole of life, bringing transformation to the Church and world.
All local churches, supported by their dioceses, becoming communities and hubs for initial and ongoing formation.
The Archbishops' Council was established by the National Institutions Measure passed by the General Synod of the Church of England in 1998.
