CANA, the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, numbers about 60 congregations and over 100 clergy in twenty states with a total average Sunday attendance of approximately 8,600. This number is larger than seventy percent of the dioceses in the Episcopal Church.

As it continues to develop into a formal body, the group of congregations that left the Episcopal Church not yet a year ago over the issue of homosexuality is now part of a split over the issue of women as priests.

CANA – the Convocation of Anglicans in North America – held a four-day convention in Oak Hill last week, culminating with the consecration of four new bishops on Sunday.
