The main topic of the meeting was to respond to the <a href="http://www.episcopalchurch.org/79901_82722_ENG_HTM.htm">Primates' Communique </a>issued in February. They crafted a letter called a <a href="http://www.episcopalchurch.org/79901_84233_ENG_HTM.htm">Message for God's People</a> that explained their collective response to the Communique. They also developed <a href="http://www.episcopalchurch.org/79901_84230_ENG_HTM.htm">"Mind of the House"</a> resolutions and issued an <a href="http://www.episcopalchurch.org/79901_84231_ENG_HTM.htm">invitation to the Archbishop of Canterbury </a>to meet with a group of the bishops and discuss the issues.<br />Southern Ohio's Bishop-elect Tom Breidenthal and Bishop Ken Price offer their reflections on the House of Bishops meeting.
