The Archbishops' Council is a part of the governance structures of the Church of England. Its headquarters are at Church House, Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3AZ.
The Council was created in 1999 to provide a central executive body to co-ordinate and lead the work of the Church. This was a partial implementation of the recommendations of the report "Working Together as One Body" produced by the Rt Revd Michael Turnbull (then Bishop of Durham) in 1994.

Famous quotes containing the word council:
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President

Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
