ON READING THE PRIMATES’ COMMUNIQUE Introduction (paras 1-5) The opening three paragraphs of the communiqué ( paras 1-3 ) set the context of its primary substance ( paras 4-19 ): the response of the Primates to the current crisis and to the Windsor Report they commissioned from the Lambeth Commission last time they met ( para 4 ). The Primates begin with an account of how they received the Report and the responses to it. These “offered a high measure of general support for the recommendations of the Windsor Report, despite some expressions of concern in relation to matters of detail” ( para 5 ). The detail of the presentations – now available online – will merit further study in order to understand the background to the Primates’ own decisions. Anglicans and Sexuality (para 6 The Primates own reflections made clear that “Many primates have been deeply alarmed that the standard of Christian teaching on matters of human sexuality expressed in the 1998 Lambeth Resolution 1.10, which should command respect as the position overwhelmingly adopted by the bishops of the Anglican Communion, has been seriously undermined by the recent developments in North America”. Here it is clear these actions are disrespectful and undermining of Christian teaching on matters of human sexuality.

PART 2:
Looking at Ape DietsMyths, Realities,
and Rationalizations
Dietary categories are not strict in nature

A good place to begin our exploration of the topic of natural diet as it relates to morphology (anatomical form) is with dietary classifications. In nature, dietary classifications are rarely strict. Herbivores (folivores) routinely consume significant amounts of insects (animal matter) on the leaves they eat. Some folivores e.g., gorillas, including the mountain gorilla may deliberately eat insects. Carnivores may seek out and deliberately consume grasses and other plant matter on occasion, and they may consume the stomach contents (vegetation) of herbivores they prey on. Frugivores normally eat some leaves and/or animal matter in addition to their primary food of fruit. Extreme diets diets that are 100% of a specific food or narrow food category are not very common in nature. In sharp contrast to the spectrum of broad- based diets that one finds in nature, however, one can easily find dietary advocates promoting (human) diets that have a relatively narrow basis: 100% vegan, 100% raw vegan, 75+% fruit

    Despite their varied disciplines, ASP members hold the following general The number of nonhuman primates used in research should be the minimum required
    http://www.asp.org/society/resolutions/EthicalTreatmentOfNonHumanPrimates.html
    The following guidelines were formulated by the ASP Research and Development Committee, for the purpose of providing a public document regarding ASP standards for the use of nonhuman primates in research. The Board of Directors officially approved this policy statement in its present form on October 2, 2001. The finalized guidelines may be used by the AJP Editor when ethical considerations are an issue.
    Principles for the Ethical Treatment of Non-Human Primates
    The stated purposes of the American Society of Primatologists (ASP) are exclusively educational and scientific; specifically, to promote and encourage the discovery and exchange of information regarding primates, including all aspects of their anatomy, behavior, development, ecology, evolution, genetics, nutrition, physiology, reproduction, systematics, conservation, husbandry, and use in biomedical research. The Society is organized around an interest in primates rather than a specific discipline; ASP members abide by specific guidelines for the use of animals developed by discipline-based organizations such as the American Psychological Association , American Society of Mammalogists , Animal Behavior Society and the Society for Neuroscience . Because ASP members are grounded in a number of research disciplines, we accept the general applicability of these guidelines to primatological research, however specific recommendations developed by these societies may not address completely the special considerations that apply to working with nonhuman primates. Despite their varied disciplines, ASP members hold the following general principles in common:

    1. Morphological and behavioural characteristics of the different primate groups. This project is not developmental; it is meant to give those without much knowledge of primates some essential background before you proceed to one of the developmental projects below. The living and fossil primates fall into four groups:
    • Prosimians , e.g. lemurs, bushbabies; tree shrews were formally classified as prosimians but are now regarded as a transitional form between them and insectivores; New World monkeys (Ceboidea), e.g. marmosets, tamarins, spider monkeys, cebus monkeys; Old World monkeys (Cercopithecoidea), e.g. macaques, baboons, guenons, langurs; (Hominoidea). The apes include 6 species of gibbon and the siamang, referred to as lesser apes, and the gorilla, orang utan and two species of chimpanzee, referred to as the great apes. Note that there are a number of species of Old World monkeys that are commonly referred to as apes, because they lack tails, for example the Barbary apes of Gibraltar, or the Celebes black ape (another name for the Sulawesi Crested Macacques that you will see in the zoo). These are not apes in biological terms. Note too that the true apes (Hylobatidae and Pongidae) are not a coherent group in terms of strict descent, since Hominids, of which our own species is the only one extant, are more closely related to chimpanzees than chimpanzees are to the other apes.
    The zoo contains species belonging to all these groups (note that the prosimians include Pygmy Slow Lorises in the nocturnal house, 26; there is also a tree shrew in the "Ark", A). Find at least two species of each group. Note down as many differences in appearance and (so far as you can observe in a living specimen) anatomy between the species as you can. What characteristics seem to be consistent within groups but to vary between them? In addition, spend at least 5 minutes in continuous observation of the behaviour of an individual or group of each of the 8 species you have chosen (so choose exhibits where the animals are being fairly active). Are there differences in behaviour between the four primate groups? Can you relate them to the morphological differences you have described?

    Summary
    Keywords: blood cells, immune response, callithrichidae.

    Introduction
    Accordingly, this study was designed to investigate the haematological response of captive-raised glucocorticoid resistant-to-glucocorticoid primate - the cerrado`s marmoset (Callithrix penicillata) - to stress and enrichment conditions. For this purpose, marmosets were submitted for nineteen consecutive days to either potential environmental enrichment manipulations or social isolations associated to 'aversive psychogenic' procedures.

    Methods and Aims
    Subjects and Maintenance
    Twenty-four captive-raised marmosets (C. penicillata), seventeen adults and seven juveniles, distributed into well established groups of heterosexual pairs or groups of three, served as subjects. Animals were maintained in indoor/outdoor enclosures (2 x 2 x 1.3 m) furnished with a suspended wood nest-box (0.3 x 0.3 x 0.6 m), feeding platform 1.5 m from the ground, two natural perches, tree trunk, and natural dry leaves covering the floor. Groups had olfactory, audible and visible contact with each other, although no physical contact was possible. All marmosets were fed once daily, at 6:30/7:30 to 17:30 h, with a mixture of various chopped fresh fruits and puppy dog chow, enriched with vitamins and boiled eggs. Water was available ad libitum.

    The motion shown below was passed unanimously by the Faith, Worship and Ministry Committee Motion FWM
    Moved by Patricia Bays
    Seconded by Richard Leggett That, while acknowledging the sincere concern of Anglicans throughout the world for the unity of the Communion and recognizing the pain of Anglicans of all persuasions caused by recent events, this Faith, Worship and Ministry Committee reluctantly but firmly recommends to the Council of General Synod the following resolution: 1. That the Council of General Synod confirm the membership of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Anglican Consultative Council with the expectation that the duly elected members attend and participate in the June 2005 meeting of the Council in the UK. 2. That the Council of General Synod welcome the invitation to explain at the June 2005 meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council the current situation, the steps that were taken by Dioceses of the Anglican Church of Canada and the General Synod and the underlying theological and biblical rationale with respect to the decision to bless committed same sex unions. Explanatory Notes Part 1 of the Motion
    • The Faith, Worship and Ministry Committee is concerned that existing ecclesiological and synodical structures, in dioceses and Provinces and within the Communion, are being pre-empted in their processes, and in the appropriate exercise of the checks and balances already available to them. Authority is being extended to bodies that goes beyond that constitutionally allocated to them. One principle of the evolution of church law is that we create new mechanisms only when all existing mechanisms have been exhausted.

    On the Evolution of Animals...
    Following is a somewhat superficial summary of some of the ideas considered by biologists to be of significance to the origin and evolutionary diversification of the animals.
    Oxygen- An Important Prerequisite
    Once prokaryote cells evolved about 3.5 billion years ago (in the absence of atmospheric oxygen), hundreds of millions of years of evolution probably elapsed before atmospheric oxygen levels became high enough to support large eukaryotes and multicellular organisms. Fossil evidence indicates that the earliest single-celled eukaryotes existed about 1.5 billion years ago. For the next billion years (approx.) most eukaryotes were probably simple single celled organisms.
    Early Multicellular Organisms
    It is logical to conclude that division of labor among the aggregated cells of some types of colonial protists probably led to early multicellular animal body plans. Subsequently, coordinated groups of cells evolved into the larger and more complex organisms that we now call animals. Support of these ideas comes from study of both living colonial Protista and embryonic development of animals.
