Church of the Word
WORLDWIDE ANGLICAN NEWS


This news page started at the time of the press launch of the Windsor Report, produced by the Lambeth Commission, which occurred on Monday, 18 October 2004. We started off primarily with commentary specifically on the Windsor Report, but quickly expanded to news from around the world relating to events in the Anglican Communion and the Episcopal Church USA. This page is updated frequently, so check back often to learn about the latest events.

While we are currently not officially connected with the Anglican Church in North America, the news items that we repeat here for your edification in some ways reflect our heritage. All items in this list originally appeared elsewhere and may be found by browsing the Internet for similar items of interest.

Timeline of Major Anglican Communion Events



Currently, 22 out of the 38 Provinces in the worldwide Anglican Commnunion consider themselves to be in either broken or impaired communion with the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (ECUSA). There are currently 38 Provinces and 6 Extra-Provincial areas under the Archbishop of Canterbury. This count of those who are out of communion with ECUSA has been reported by The Rev. Canon Dr. Bill Atwood of EKKLESIA and has been passed along to us by David Virtue of VirtueOnline.


You may wish to go to the VirtueOnline web site to see a provincial map of ECUSA showing the believed current status of each diocese regarding the consecration of Gene Robinson and the believed relationship of the dioceses to the new Anglican Communion Network. The dioceses who have endorsed the network, or probably will, are shown as purple. We recognize that this is a dynamic map, and it will be corrected, changed and redistributed as needed. It is offered to further the understanding of the politics of the current situation in terms of their geographical distribution.
