HERNDON, Va. (April 16, 2009) – The Convocation of Anglicans in North America responded to the news that the GAFCON Primates who met in London this week officially recognized the emerging province, the Anglican Church in North America, of which CANA is a founding member.

“We are pleased that the GAFCON Primates have recognized the emerging orthodox Anglican Province . This new province is a needed reality for orthodox Anglican Christians who wish to remain a part of the Anglican Communion but who cannot in good faith, follow the revisionist leadership of The Episcopal Church,” said CANA Missionary Bishop Martyn Minns. “We appreciate the encouragement for those of us connected with the Anglican Church in North America to continue to move forward as faithful Anglicans and to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.”
