The cross and typestyle for the logo of Anglican Church of the Valley were created for us about 2009 by an artist member of the church.

It’s clear to me that the COB is not a perfect institution. How could it be? It’s populated by people including me. But in my observation, it is a prayerful, godly, wise, biblically-committed, and canonically-oriented group. It is both apostolic and catholic in its orientation and I look forward to working within the College in the years to come.

Why is pro-life relationship education an important effort of Anglicans for Life and the larger Church, especially when it comes to the next generation? 

Acess Leadership Initiative (AcLN) seeks to discover, develop, and deploy leaders working to build communities of belonging for those with and without disabilities in parishes across the ACNA. Read the latest from the network below and consider participating in the next Zoom even to learn about resources available to your ministry.

We recently celebrated the Feast of Pentecost and we’re now in the long liturgical season of Ordinary Time which will last until Advent. Though the season is called ordinary, it’s anything but that because it is the time of the Holy Spirit.

The Kigali Commitment (2023) asserts that the primates who align with the statement “represent the overwhelming majority (estimated at 85%) of Anglicans worldwide.” The accuracy of this number has been publicly challenged, and so an explanation is in order.

Retired Archbishop of the ACNA, The Right Rev. Robert W. Duncan, celebrated and preached at Christ Church Accokeek on May 14, 2023 as they observed the 325th anniversary of their founding.

In April 2023, 1,300 Anglicans from around the world gathered in Kigali, Rwanda, at the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) to chart a new course for Global Anglicanism. The final Conference statement (the Kigali Commitment) calls for “resetting” the Anglican Communion on the foundation of Biblical authority and classic Anglican principles of doctrine, discipline and worship, as articulated in the Jerusalem Declaration (2008).

The month of May is designated as Asian Heritage Month. But in Korea, May is designated as the Family Month where we honor our parents on Parent’s Day and celebrate our children in Children’s Day. And it is my honor to share the wondrous works God has been doing with our Family in Christ.

On this Ascension Day, may your heart be drawn upward in worship of our Ascended Lord. In leaving this earth to enter heaven, he is now King of kings and Lord of lords.

Intro

I'm pleased to announce you can now view Life SUMMIT and ySUMMIT 2023 presentations on Anglicans For Life's YouTube channel.

Launched in Jerusalem in 2008, GAFCON stands as a response to the crisis in our Communion. Its goal is to offer a biblical counter to progressive Anglicans’ errors in doctrine and practice and a spiritual home for the faithful.

Anglicans can be an eclectic bunch.  We are more than willing to take something good in the broader church and make it our own.  A case in point is the 18 icons hanging on the walls near the entrance to the sanctuary at Church of the Epiphany in Chantilly, VA.

Greetings from Kigali, Rwanda where we are attending GAFCON 4 (Global Anglican Futures Conference).

Camp Booyah 2023 will be an Anglican summer adventure that you will not want to miss!
