The head of the Anglican Communion, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, is sending a “pastoral visitor” from his staff, says Duncan, which he says shows that “we are part of the family.”
Williams himself will attend the Episcopal Church’s governing meeting this summer to give a seminar on combating global poverty.
Jurisdictions that have joined together to form the 28 dioceses and dioceses-in-formation of the Anglican Church in North America are: the dioceses of Fort Worth, Pittsburgh, Quincy and San Joaquin; the Anglican Mission in the Americas (including the Anglican Coalition in Canada); the Convocation of Anglicans in North America; the Anglican Network in Canada; the Reformed Episcopal Church; and the missionary initiatives of Kenya, Uganda, and South America’s Southern Cone. The American Anglican Council and Forward in Faith North America also are founding organizations.
