“We want the youth in Anglican churches to fully understand the worth of all human life, including their own. We believe that lives are transformed when students understand what their own worth and purpose is...our goal is to equip them to not only believe that, but to live it out.”

America, a religious nation, has had throughout our history a type of intellectual leader that has been termed the public theologian. Henry Ward Beecher, the Niebuhrs, Billy Graham, and Fr. Richard Neuhaus are among the most prominent examples. Now, Wheaton professor Esau McCauley is using his broad pulpit to call American Christians back to their religious ideals, the lived experiences of the Black church, and a full recognition of the Black church in our history.

In light of the tensions in our society regarding race relations, in his address to the Provincial Council, Archbishop Beach called for a Working Group on Race, Racism, and Racial Reconciliation. This group is comprised of leaders from across the Anglican Church in North America representing a diverse range of races, ethnicities, ages, orders, and both genders.

The Rt. Rev. John Howe and the Rev. Deacon Karen Howe have been recently welcomed into the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic and the Anglican Church in North America.

During day one of the ACNA’s 2020 virtual Provincial Council, Abp. Foley Beach’s address focused on casting his expansive vision for the ACNA’s response to racism, racial tensions, and racial reconciliation. 

The Provincial Council of the Anglican Church in North America this week elected Albert Thompson of Christ the King, Alexandria, to the ACNA Executive Committee.

Ask any clergy person and they will tell you about the people in their lives who believed in them, opened doors for them, and walked alongside of them as they mastered the difficult skills of leadership. Experience really is the best teacher.
