Church resolution THE EDITOR, Sir: AT the 131st Annual Synod of the Church in Jamaica in the Province of the West Indies the Synod passed a resolution changing the name of the Diocese to The Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands in the Province of the West Indies. This resolution was put first to the 130th Synod and in the year intervening between the two Synods the Canons Committee had discussions on the legal and other implications and recommended the change of name to include the Cayman Islands which has been adopted by the Synod. For the information of the faithful and of all who may be interested, I wish to share the following communications from the Reverend Dr. Herman Browne, The Archbishop of Canterbury's Assistant Secretary for Anglican Communion and Ecumenical Affairs. Dr. Browne writes: "The Archbishop is happy for you to I release this information in order to assure our members at St. George's of their bona fides as members of the Anglican Communion and to affirm them as the legitimate representatives of this Communion in the Cayman Islands. I am, etc., Rt. Revd. ALFRED C. REID Bishop of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands
