Anglican Connection Conference: Gospel-Centered Anglicanism


The Anglican Connection inaugural conference was held at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama from Monday, August 19 until Wednesday, August 21, 2013. It was attended by both ordained and lay-members from a diversity of churches from the eastern side of the country.

The aspiration and resolve of the Anglican Connection is to promote and develop in our time a gospel-centric Anglicanism that is grounded in the unique nature and authority of the Scriptures as God’s Word written. It is framed by the essentials of the English Reformation set out in the Thirty-Nine Articles and the theological and liturgical principles of the 1662 English Book of Common Prayer and its Ordinal – principles that are set out in Canon A5 of the Church of England and in the essential declarations of the Anglican Church in Australia.

The Anglican Connection is gospel movement that is formed in two tiers –; Tier 1: Ministers and churches that have their episcopal oversight through the Anglican Church of Nigeria and its missionary bishops, Bishops Martyn Minns and Julian Dobbs; Tier 2: Ministers and churches, having another episcopal oversight, that are committed to the Declarations and ministry goals of the Anglican Connection and who have been received as affiliate members of the Anglican Connection.

We are committed to equip, encourage and support one another to carry out our respective ministries with clarity and sensitivity, unambiguity and confidence.

The proposal to form the Anglican Connection has created considerable interest among people and churches in the United States, wherever there happens to be a longing for a gospel freshness and vitality in Anglicanism emerging from foundational principles.
