[Anglican Mainstream] 10 May 2007--'We want to remain faithful Anglicans', says Minns By Gerry O’Brien in the Church of England Newspaper.
Bishop Martyn Minns was installed as Missionary Bishop in the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) by Archbishop Peter Akinola, at Woodbridge, Virginia, on Saturday. Among the many greetings was one from 30 members of the Church of England General Synod, including the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham and the Bishop of Rochester.
“We want to remain faithful members of the Anglican Communion,” said Bishop Minns at a press conference preceding his installation. He thanked Archbishop Akinola for establishing CANA, which is now a duly constituted convocation of the Church of Nigeria.
CANA, which has more regular worshippers than nearly 50 of The Episcopal Church’s (TEC) dioceses, currently consists of 34 parishes, with others queuing up to join. About one third are in Virginia and the rest are spread across 11 other states. About a dozen of the churches have predominantly Nigerian membership.
