Dear brothers & sisters in Christ,

As you may know, this Monday begins a new era in Anglicanism in North America.  After a long journey through heresy and schism, the true Anglican Church in North America will be born. The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) will have its first assembly to ratify its Constitution & Canons and to enthrone its new Archbishop.  Everyone is invited to the worship service where that enthronement will take place and thus I have canceled all activities at Christ the Redeemer next Wednesday night so that all faithful North Texas Anglicans might gather together at Christ Church Plano for this momentous and historic occasion.

A new website has been formed to introduce the ACNA and  provide information about the Assembly and answer any questions that people may have.  A video has also been produced that gives a brief sketch of what hopes to be accomplished at the Assembly.  I was honored to have a brief part in that video and share my views on what the ACNA might bring forth.  The ACNA website also has an overview of the new Constitution and Canons as well as a full schedule of next week’s events.

The URL address for the website is http://www.acnaassembly.org.

The URL address for the video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmVwAoZmAWw&fmt=18.

I hope you will be able to join me in celebrating the dawn of a new era in Anglicanism at Christ Church Plano next Wednesday night at 7:30pm.  I would strongly advise anyone planning to attend to arrive no later than 7:00pm if you want a seat (6:30pm would be safer).  Please be in prayer for the Archbishop-elect, the delegates and all who will be a part of shaping the new face of North American Anglicanism.

Yours in His Service,

Lawrence+
