[VirtueOnline] November 21, 2005--This emerging relationship with the 18,000,000 member Nigerian Province of the Anglican Communion is without a doubt the most significant event in the life of the separated Anglican Church movement. It is a glorious occasion and one we should be rightfully pleased about. It is a mission minded document, which you will realize as you read it all, and I believe we must be active partners in this relationship if it is to grow. A number of our parishes have Nigerian families as members. This Concordat should serve as a real tangible indicator of our commitment to them and to the historic Faith we all share. The Archbishop wants us to reach out to Nigerian Anglicans in our areas who have founded new churches under the Primate's of the CANA initiative.
