[Anglican Mainstream] 23 Oct 2007--The Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) ordained nine candidates to the Sacred Order of Deacons and a deacon to the Sacred Priesthood on Saturday. Six of the candidates who were ordained to the diaconate are in transition to the priesthood. The new clergy members, representing four Virginia parishes and a parish in Georgia, were ordained by the Rt. Rev’d Martyn Minns, Missionary Bishop of CANA at The Falls Church in Falls Church, Va.

“This ordination ceremony underscores the continued growth of CANA as our parish leaders become new clergy members. We are blessed to have clergy who are committed to moving forward in mission and ministry while preserving the scriptural foundation of the Anglican tradition,” said CANA Missionary Bishop Martyn Minns. “These ordinands are a blessing to CANA and to each of their member parishes.”
