Anglican Mission Inaugural Assembly Adopts Constitution


Mission Society Process Completed

The Anglican Mission today formally adopted its Constitution in a celebratory Inaugural Assembly, which marked the last step in a 15-month process toward formation of A Society of Mission and Apostolic Faith. A group of 156 individuals gathered for the event held at the Renaissance Concourse Airport Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, July 31–August 1, which began with a worship service Tuesday evening and continued with the business session on Wednesday.

The gathering drew clergy and laity from across the U.S., Canada and abroad, including founding Archbishops Emmanuel Kolini, Moses Tay and Yong Ping Chung and their wives, the Anglican Mission Conference of Bishops and members of the Board of Directors.
