THE Scottish Episcopal Church (SEC) shows “the historic diversity of the Anglican tradition” and has “helped to break free of colonial ways of thinking”, the secretary-general of the Anglican Communion, the Rt Revd Anthony Poggo, has said. Bishop Poggo became the first general secretary in 21 years to attend the Scottish Episcopal General Synod last week (News, 29 May). In his address on Saturday, he said that the SEC was “an incredibly valued” member of the Anglican Communion.
