World Consultation of Continuing Churches to meet in Boston

Conservative Anglican Church leaders from all major jurisdictions throughout the world will gather in the Boston area for the World Consultation of Continuing Churches in preparation for a two day meeting on Church issues.

Archbishops and bishops, along with clergy and lay leaders will come together November 3rd and 4th in Brockton, Massachusetts at St. Paul's Anglican Church. Attendees include Church leaders from the Traditional Anglican Communion including the Churches of North and South America, India and South Africa. North American Church bodies include the Anglican Church in America, Anglican Province of America, Anglican Catholic Church, Anglican Diocese of the Holy Cross, as well as leaders from other jurisdictions. The meeting will focus on the first 35 years of the conservative Anglican Church, current issues including relations with the Roman Catholic Church and the future for the growing conservative churches.

Conservative Anglicans parted ways with the Anglican Communion in the late 1970's and continued in the historic faith and practice of the historic church. Anglicanism is the third branch of catholic Christianity and has the third largest Christian following after the Roman Catholic and Easter Orthodox Churches. Of the 90 million worldwide Anglicans, approximately 20% belong to conservative jurisdictions, which has seen significant growth in the last several years. To read more, click here.
