http://www.canaconvocation.org/

[CANA Convocation] 28 Aug 2008--Council 2008 concluded Saturday afternoon Aug. 23 with a Spirit-filled festal Eucharist, including a renewal of vows for clergy and blessing of oils.

Council commenced on Thursday morning Aug. 21 with a profound keynote address by Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, who challenged CANA leaders to embark on a new season of Christian discipleship in North America. Clergy wives invested Thursday afternoon in fellowship and visioning for womens ministries.

On Friday morning, Missionary Bishop Martyn Minns delivered his annual State of the Church and Pastoral Call which sketched out the church's mission for discipleship through the 3 W's of Worship, Work, and Witness. Bishop Minns also outlined CANA's stewardship in various areas: clergy development, caring for the vulnerable, and finances.
