Anglican Communion Windsor Report
The Windsor Report of the Anglican Communion was released this October, about a year after the consecration of gay Bishop Gene Robinson, which vividly shone a light through the cracks of global communion. North America has not responded yet to the recommendations that the consecrating bishops repent or resign, and that rites of same-sex unions cease. Analysis and comment from SCM Canterbury.

Full Human Rights for All
Submission to Select Committee Inquiry into the place of Human Rights in New Zealand's foreign policy. "SCM professes belief in a common humanity and recognizes this as the experience of the victims of human wrongs and those who struggle on their behalf. Against cultural relativism, we affirm human rights from pragmatic and idealistic perspectives. That is, human rights – as specified in the UDHR and subsequent covenants – although broad, are not an all encompassing morality, but a minimum ethical consensus supported and ratified by a remarkable majority of the international community."
