The Diocese-in-Formation will be distinctively Reformed and Evangelical

The Rt. Rev’d. Dr. Felix Orji announced Friday that one of his goals as the new Missionary Bishop of CANA is to launch a new diocese that is distinctively Confessional, Reformed, and Evangelical.

The first of its kind in more than one hundred years in North America, the diocese-in-formation will be dedicated to the riches of the theological and liturgical principles of the 16th century English Reformation.

Commenting on his plans, Bishop Felix said, “This is the kind of Anglicanism that shaped the Church of Nigeria that I remember as a child.”

The new diocese will first be a dedicated missionary archdeaconry in the Diocese of the West (CANA). “The archdeaconry envisaged will be non-geographical and led by a Provisional Council under my episcopal authority and guidance. I sense the Lord’s grace in this and I look forward to his sovereign providence as this plan unfolds,” said Bishop Felix. Learn More
