One of the challenges I see in this moment is that the work of the Commission has in some ways overshadowed, perhaps supplanted, the Transformational Commitments that General Synod adopted in 2023. While much can be said about whether those were the right Commitments, etc., etc., they were adopted by Synod (and have disappeared from view).
One of the key tests going forward is how the group tasked with implementing the Transformational Commitments and the Primate's Commission engage with one another so that structural changes aren't made separate from, but informed by these commitments, core to which is a commitment to Inviting and Deepening Life in Christ.
Thanks for this reflection, Jesse.

Yes! (And you are in some ways anticipating my next post on the hypotheses themselves)
