CANA Resolution Regarding Anglican 1000

Recently, Archdeacon Julian Dobbs promoted the ministry of Anglican 1000 to the CANA Executive Committee and also to the CANA Council.  The Anglican 1000 initiative was received with much enthusiasm,energy and commitment. Of course, we have already seen CANA be very active in church planting. (For example, check out a few of their new works: Winchester Anglican Church, Restoration Anglican Church, and St. Paul’s Anglican Church under the Latest Plants section of the website).  Bishop Martyn Minns personally committed to the vision of Anglican 1000.  Archbishop Duncan also mentioned Anglican 1000 in his sermon at the festal eucharist and ordinations at CANA Council.  Finally, the CANA Council endorsed the following resolution!

RESOLVED, that the annual Council of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (“CANA”), in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Bylaws of CANA, hereby gives thanks to God for the vision of Archbishop Robert Duncan for the planting of 1,000 new Anglican churches across North America within the next 5 years.  This Council also gives thanks for the leadership of the Rev’d Canon David Roseberry, Chair of the Anglican 1000 Steering Committee. This Council expresses its full support for the ministry of Anglican 1000 and encourages the congregations and clergy under CANA’s jurisdiction to pray and plan for their own participation in this exciting work of God.
