Videos and Message from AMiA Chairman Chuck Murphy


We have been discussing the concept of developing a mission society earnestly since May of last year. Our hope and vision for a multi-jurisdictional society has now become a reality. During meetings in London last week with a number of leaders from the Anglican Mission and around the globe, a group of Anglican Communion primates issued a decree for establishing a "society of mission" that will continue the Anglican Mission's legacy of "advancing apostolic works and ministry." Archbishop Henri Isingoma, of the Congo, and Archbishop Eliud Wabukala, Archbishop of Kenya and Chairman of the GAFCON Primates Council and Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans, joined our founding Archbishops Emmanuel Kolini, Moses Tay and Yong Ping Chung in issuing the decree. All five men will serve on the society's College of Consultors, its overseeing body which was constituted on April 25. I am more than grateful to these five bold and courageous pioneers for their support and desire to serve on the College of Consultors as "guardians and overseers" of the Mission. Read more.

As the FCA Leaders Conference was held behind closed-doors and under a media blackout, we have only Bishop Murphy's account of what happened. There is also the question of by what authority can three retired Primates and two active Primates create a "society of mission" by decree.
