Faith and Order Commission
Since 2010 the Faith and Order Commission of the General Synod - which acts as a 'theological resource for the church as a whole' - has taken over the role played previously by the doctrine commission. Following the resignation of Rowan Williams as Archbishop of Canterbury in 2012 the English theologian John Milbank called for the foundation of an international doctrine commission. This body would be designed to serve the entire Anglican communion and would mirror the Catholic International Theological Commission which was founded in 1969.
