Anglican sites of special interest

• Anglican Communion
  The Anglican Communion is comprised of over 40 autonomous churches, each linked by bonds of communion and history to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and thus to the Church of England. In the past, an observer could be excused for thinking that Anglicanism was simply the English church in colonial dress. However, the Communion extends beyond the former British Empire, particularly including the Episcopal Church in the U.S.A. An excellent essay on the Anglican Communion can be found on the Anglican.org website, entitled About our church. Another very helpful essay written by Patricia Bays and entitled "The Anglican Church welcomes you", is found on the Anglican Church of Canada website. In recent years, attention to issues of disagreement has lead to reflection on the Communion's "instruments of unity": the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lambeth Conference, the Primates Meeting, and the Anglican Consultative Council.
  • Archbishop of Canterbury
    "The Churches of the Anglican Communion are linked by affection and common loyalty. They are in full communion with the See of Canterbury and thus the Archbishop of Canterbury, in his person, is a unique focus of Anglican unity. He calls the once-a-decade Lambeth Conference, chairs the meeting of Primates, and is President of the Anglican Consultative Council. The 104th Archbishop, in the succession of St. Augustine, is the Most Revd and Rt. Hon. Rowan Douglas Williams, enthroned in February 2003." [from the website]
  • Lambeth Conference
    A worldwide conference of Anglican bishops invited by the Archbishop of Canterbury every 10 years. Since the first conference in 1867, the bishops have met at Lambeth Palace outside London, the home of the Archbishop. "Until 1978 the conferences were for bishops only, but in 1988 the full Anglican Consultative Council membership and representative bishops of the Churches in Communion (the Churches of Bangladesh, North and South India, and Pakistan) joined with the bishops in the discussions, as did bishops of the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht."
    • Lambeth Conference 1998
      The Archbishop of Canterbury's invitation to the bishops of the Anglican Communion, and some preliminary material that was released by the Anglican Communion Office.
    • Lambeth Conference 1998
      The official website, containing the final reports and news releases.
  • The Primates Meeting
    The Anglican Communion is composed of autonomous provinces. Each province elects a primate, or presiding bishop. The primate is regarded as "primus inter pares", first among equals. The primates of the Anglican Communion meet together regularly to discuss matters of common concern. "Between 1979 and 1997 the Primates ... met every two or three years in consultation on theological, social, and international issues. Since 2000, the Primates have met annually. Meeting locations: Ely, England 1979; Washington, USA 1981; Limuru, Kenya 1983; Toronto, Canada 1986; Cyprus 1989; Ireland 1991; Cape Town, Southern Africa 1993; Windsor, England 1995; Jerusalem 1997; Oporto, Portugal, 2000; Kanuga, USA, 2001; Canterbury, England 2002; [Gramado,] Brazil 2003."
  • Anglican Consultative Council
    "The Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) is an international assembly of the Anglican Communion, bringing together bishops, presbyters, deacons, lay men and women, and youth, to work on common concerns. The ACC was formed following a resolution of the 1968 Lambeth Conference which discerned the need for more frequent and more representative contact among the Churches than was possible through a once-a-decade conference of bishops. The constitution of the Council was accepted by the general synods or conventions of all the Member Churches of the Anglican Communion. The Council came into being in October 1969." [from the website]
  • Anglican Communion Office (London, England)
    "The Anglican Communion Office, which is the permanent secretariat, is based in London, England, and is led by the Secretary General, the Revd Canon John L Peterson. The Secretary General and the staff serve the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lambeth Conference, the Primates Meeting and the Anglican Consultative Council. The ministry of the Anglican Communion is funded by the Inter-Anglican Budget which is supported by all Member Churches." [from the website]
  • Anglican Centre in Rome
    "Even today, with high-tech communications, the Internet and e-mail, there is no substitute for face-to-face encounter. The Anglican Centre is a unique institution: no other worldwide Communion has an “embassy” of this kind in Rome. The Centre's role is not conversion, it is mutual understanding. Here, Roman Catholics can meet Anglicans and discover more about the Anglican tradition; and Anglicans from all over the world can come to learn more about the history of the Church in Rome. The Centre is a place of study, hospitality, diplomacy and prayer. You cannot have a close relationship with someone you do not know, so it has the largest library of Anglican theology on mainland Europe - some 11,000 volumes - which is used by students and seminarians, priests on sabbatical and interested laity of all denominations." (from the Anglican Centre website)

  Provided by the Society of Archbishop Justus, the independent Anglican.org offers domain name-service for Anglican churches, dioceses, religious orders and other groups. Through Anglican.org, websites can be assigned a domain name xxx.anglican.org, or something similar according to their name plan.

  "The following six Churches (denominations) joined to form the Church of North India, the Union which was consummated on November 29, 1970 at Nagpur: 1. The Council of the Baptist Churches in Northern India; 2. The Church of the Brethren in India; 3. The Disciples of Christ; 4. The Church of India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon; 5. The Methodist Church (British and Australasian Conferences); 6. The United Church of Northern India." (Anglicans Online)
• Church of Pakistan (a united church)
• Church of South India
  "The Church of South India is the result of the union of churches of varying traditions--Anglican, Methodist, Congregational, Presbyterian, and Reformed--in that area. It was inaugurated in September 1947, after protracted negotiation among the churches concerned. Organized into 16 dioceses, each under the spiritual supervision of a bishop, the church as a whole is governed by a synod, which elects a moderator (presiding bishop) every 2 years. Episcopacy is thus combined with synodical government, and the church explicitly recognizes that Episcopal, Presbyterian, and congregational elements are all necessary for the church's life."

• Diocese of Kootenay
  "The Diocese of Kootenay, located in the southeastern corner of the province of British Columbia, comprises 215,000 square kilometers. Topographically, the diocese encompasses a series of long, narrow valleys running north and south, linked at northern and southern boundaries by highways. Many of the valleys include long, deep, cold lakes, some created by dams. The diocese contains the whole of the Canadian watershed of the Columbia River system, and in the northwest corner, most of the watershed of the South Thompson River (Thompson-Fraser system). It is very mountainous, including within its boundaries the western slope of the Rockies, the Selkirks, Purcells, Monashee, Bugaboo and Cariboo ranges (the Columbia-Cassiar Cordillera) and the eastern slope of the Canadian Cascade range. It is dramatically beautiful country. The total population of the diocesan area is estimated at 425,000. The climate and landscape have attracted many retirees to the western part of the diocese. Increasingly, there is a spillover of retirees into the smaller towns and cities to the east. With the exception of one or two of the resource-based communities, all of our centres are growing in population. Kelowna, the See City, is the fastest growing area in British Columbia, and the Okanagan in general is growing quickly. The 2003 statistics show a membership of 6247 persons in the diocese of which 2405 are in church on the average Sunday morning. 27 full-time stipendary priests, 6 locally raised priests, 7 vocational deacons (including 3 locally raised deacons) and 210 licensed Lay Ministers of Word and Sacrament (Lay Readers) serve these people."

This area of Canada has a continental climate with extremes of temperature (-40 C in winter to +40 C in summer) and little rainfall. (40 - 50 cm per year) Most of the area is open grassland. Naturally-occurring trees are small and sparse. Agriculture, along with oil and natural gas, form the backbone of the economy. The Anglican population of just over 10,000 is gathered in 103 congregations. These congregations are grouped into 44 parishes (19 urban and 25 rural) and served by about 50 full, part-time, non-stipendiary and retired clergy. Urban parishes average about 300 members on the parish role. The average rural parish has about 150 members on the role. Rural parishes consist of two to six active congregations." [from the website]
• Diocese of Quebec
• Diocese of Rupert's Land
• Diocese of Saskatchewan

In this area there are 68 scattered Anglican congregations grouped into 32 parishes. Missionary work began formally in the 1850s, and it became a Diocese with its see at Prince Albert in 1874. Its Anglican population is about 23,000 people, sixty per cent of whom are Cree indians. At least half of these are under the age of 25. The Diocese has 33 active and 21 retired clergy, a catechist, ninety-five lay readers, and two bishops. The majority of the active clergy are non-stipendiary." [from the website]

• Diocese of Saskatoon
  "The Diocese of Saskatoon, in the greater picture of the Anglican Communion, is a small diocese, a narrow band stretching across the Saskatchewan grain belt, from the Alberta border to the Manitoba border. There are 50 congregations, most of which are rural. The City of Saskatoon is often called the "hub-city" of the Province of Saskatchewan. Highways emanate out from the city like spokes on a wheel. Our relatively small numbers mean that we get to know each other quite well, and to build up a real sense of belonging together. It also means that we have the time and space to welcome you.
  The Diocese of Saskatoon covers a band of parishes across the central agricultural area of the province of 29,664 square miles, stretching on the northern boundary from Lloydminster to North Battleford, Duck Lake, Pathlow, and Porcupine Plain to the Manitoba border, and on the southern boundary from Macklin on the Alberta border to Wilkie, Biggar, Pike Lake, Watrous, Wynyard and Foam Lake to the Manitoba border.
  2001 statistics record 25 parishes, 46 congregations, 27 clergy in parishes, chaplaincies and the College of Emmanuel and St. Chad, 8.25 paid positions for laity in Diocese and Parishes, 19 clergy retired and 4 on leave. Anglicans on parish rolls, 5,782, 1,995 financial supporting single and family units. In 2001, there were 122 baptisms, 78 confirmations, 60 weddings, 163 funerals. In 2001, there were 412 members of the Anglican Church Women, 202 in other women's groups, 110 men in various groups, 474 men and women in other groups, and 198 youth in organized youth groups.  In 2001, total Parish and Diocesan income was about $2,500,000. Estimated value of property is about $33,000.000." [from the website]
