Bishop Duncan On The New Anglican Province In The US:
After an April 15th meeting in London between 8 Anglican Archbishops from Africa, Asia and South America and Bishops representing the parishes of the newly formed Anglican Church of North America, the Archbishops issued a statement which said in part:
“we are saddened that the present crisis in the Anglican Communion of which we are a a part remains unresolved. The recent meeting of Primates in Alexandria served only to demonstrate how deep and intractable the divisions are and to encourage us to sustain the important work of the Global Anglican Future Conference.”
They also stated that they, “recognize the Anglican Church in North America as genuinely Anglican and recommend that Anglican Provinces affirm full communion with the ACNA.”
Their statement concluded, “We remain committed to the Anglican Communion and to being a faithful and creative voice for renewal within it to recapture a focus on Biblical teaching and mission. Though conscious of our inadequacies, in the light of Christ’s resurrection power, we speak with confidence and seek only to serve the Lord, the people of the Anglican Communion and those who have yet to hear the lifechanging message of the Gospel. The Good News of Salvation through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ is our only hope and our focus. We continue steadfastly in our commitment to share the fullness of the Gospel in our nations and around the world.
Alleluia! Christ is Risen: The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!”
