Speaking of the 2nd U.S. Anglican Congress of 2003, he reported to the delegates...

"A paramount aspect of this meeting of the Congress was the formation of a Federation of Anglican Churches in America.  Official representatives of more than a dozen jurisdictions and agencies signed the Federation document, put forward by the Rt. Rev. Royal U. Grote, Jr., affirming a mutual commitment to work together in common cause for the sake of faithful witness, and for effective mission and ministry, insofar as is possible.  The Federation document has since been further refined. [It appears as 'Attachment I' to the Report of the General Committee to the 51st General Council, under the revised title, 'Commitments for the Communion of Anglican Provinces, Jurisdictions, and Ministries in the Americas'.]  The main concept which this document embodies -- that of enabling and facilitating a relationship of inter-communion and common mission between branches of the church, without infringing upon or compromising jurisdictional integrity -- currently forms the basis of the r
elationship between the Reformed Episcopal Church and the Anglican Province of America."
