Explanation
The Convention of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe approved its name change in 2008. The 76th General Convention approved the first reading of the change of names in the Constitution by passing 2009-B15, and the 77th General Convention approved the second reading with the passage of 2012-A156. In the Canons the name was amended in Canon V.2, but three instances of the old name remain: Canons I.9.1; II.3.6(d); and III.5.1(b).
