On Wednesday, March 19, 2008, the Rt. Rev. Marc Handley Andrus spoke to hundreds of people gathered in downtown San Francisco to protest the war in Iraq on the fifth anniversary of the US invasion. The gathering stood in front of the building that houses the San Francisco offices of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Following Andrus address, more than 50 of those present staged a "Die-in" in the middle of the intersection of Market and Montgomery streets.

On February 14, 2008, the Rt. Rev. Marc Andrus, Bishop of California, sat down with Dr. Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, Assistant Professor of Church History at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley; the Rev.

Dr. Jay Johnson, Adjunct Faculty in Theology at Pacific School of Religion and the Church Divinity School of the Pacific, to discuss the newest draft of the Anglican Communion Covenant.
