For area Anglicans in New York State, visit is a milestone

Since its inception in 2004, the Anglican Community Church’s goal has been to become a part of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA), member Terrey Lee says.

That goal has now become a reality, since the church was accepted into “this communion of Anglicans” earlier this year. The move will officially be christened with a visit from Bishop David Bena, Lee and church leaders said.

Bishop Bena plans to visit the church at 10 a.m. Oct. 25 at the corner of Richmond Avenue and North Lyons Street. All are welcome to attend the service.

“With Bishop David Bena’s visit to our church later this month comes a real sense of completion of our goal to be a part of this great body of Anglicans,” Lee said. “It is a great pleasure as well as a great honor to have his presence known in our church. This single accomplishment has been of the utmost importance to our church and each of its members.”

    Amen. Bravo! It looks like Batavia is about halfway between Rochester and Buffalo, right off the I-90 Thruway. Right in the lake effect snow belt. May the Lord graciously shower them with more blessings, power, and joy than all the snow they’ll get this winter.
