Technorati“Our hope is that the Anglican Church in North America is the re-constitution of a faithful church,” Duncan said in a statement released this past Thursday.
So despite criticisms and the fact that it may take years for the new province to gain official recognition from the rest of the Anglican Communion, conservative Anglicans are determined to form a new home and move on with their mission as a united body.
“Our mission is clear. We are coming together because we are committed to reaching North America with the transforming love of Jesus Christ,” Duncan concluded.
During this week’s assembly, the ACNA will ratify the constitution and canons drafted by its bishops, clergy and lay leaders at a meeting in suburban Chicago last December when they announced they were forming a new “province” - the Anglican term for their largest regional jurisdictions.
The preamble to the constitution says that orthodox Anglicans are “grieved by the current state of brokenness within the Anglican Communion prompted by those who have embraced erroneous teaching and who have rejected a repeated call to repentance.”
“We believe that this Constitution is faithful to that call and consistent with the Historic Faith and Order of the Church and we invite the prayers of all faithful Anglicans as we seek to be obedient disciples of Jesus Christ our One Lord and Savior,” it concludes.
