[Anglican Communion Network] 26 Jan 2009--The process for applying to be recognized as a diocese, cluster or network of the Anglican Church in North America is now available.

Recognized dioceses, clusters and networks will be able to fully participate in the inaugural convention of the Anglican Church in North this June in Bedford, Texas.

In many cases, existing groups of churches, already organized and under the authority of a bishop, will apply for recognition. Those forming new groups will need to begin the process of organizing themselves, selecting leadership and building a common life.

Those forming new groups are urged to closely examine the provisional constitution of the Anglican Church in North America and the review of its flaws and objectionable provisions that I have posted on Anglicans Ablaze. From what I have gathered so far, the diocese, clusters, and networks attention the inaugural convention in Bedford will be asked to ratify the provisional constitution as it is presently drafted and make it the constitution of the new province.
