[American Anglican Council] January 10, 2006--The American Anglican Council (AAC) announced today adoption of the lay outreach program Episcopal Witness, developed last year by the AAC chapter in Washington, D.C., and currently used in various parts of the mid-Atlantic region. This program responds to the essential need for both greater lay involvement and more effective lay action in the struggle to restore and preserve a biblically faithful expression of Anglicanism in the United States. It is designed to address the gap in communication with congregations where relevant information and resources are being institutionally restricted or stifled. The primary goal of this action-oriented program is to arm congregations and vestries with balanced information and resources to inform their dialogue in order to make decisions regarding the serious and divisive issues facing the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion.
