Michael Green Keynotes Western Anglicans' Kingdom Conference 2011


A group of Anglicans in the Western United States, who broke away from the Episcopal Church over theology and morals, is planting the seeds of a new orthodox Anglicanism using a vigorous call to evangelism. The clergy and people of the Diocese of Western Anglicans under the leadership of Bishop Bill Thompson called together the "Kingdom Conference 2011" drawing more than 500 people to the large campus of Mariner's Church in Irvine, CA, near Newport Beach. A number of other Anglicans and Christians attended as well. Mariner's is a large non-denominational evangelical church.

In an interview with VOL, Bishop Thompson said the conference was the first event of its kind that he hopes will be repeated each year from now on. "Our theme was evangelism and taking 'Church' out into our communities.

The conference was an unqualified success with the Rev. Canon Michael Green Oxford trained evangelical, apologist and author as our keynote speaker. Other diocesan clergy talked on evangelism as well. There were also wonderful workshops all pointing toward expanding the Kingdom of the God. It is our hope that this will be an annual time for the majority of members of the diocese to be trained and empowered to grow the Kingdom of God in our diocese.
