Updates from Provincial

The many reports about the good Kingdom work happening throughout the church both at home and abroad was encouraging, and even with honest acknowledgment of real challenges there was a sense of hope and strategy in addressing those realities head on with God’s help.

Bp. Julian Dobbs (Dean of the Province) and Bp. Paul Donison (General Secretary of the Global Anglican Communion) recently hosted a virtual conversation and Q&A about the recent G26 conference and the Abuja Affirmation. 

One of the blessings of these (international) gatherings is the opportunity to reconnect with friends from across the globe one rarely gets to see. The Nigerian music team that led us each day was the same group that led Gafcon III in Jerusalem in 2018.

Theologian Brian Brock writes that in lament we “remain open to God by expressing our suffering and pain. In keeping the lines of communication open with God, we are prepared to also expose our hurts to the community of God’s people.” Access Leadership Network invites you to come with us before God. 

Introducing two international ministry opportunities.

As followers of Christ, we are called to take the good news of the gospel, the light of the world, to the ends of the earth. We are blessed to have a liturgical calendar that trains us to inhabit God’s story, allowing the life of Christ to shape both our personal faith and the shared life of the Church over time.

Gracious and everliving Father, you have given the Holy Spirit to abide with us for ever: Bless, we pray, with the Holy Spirit’s grace and presence, the Bishops of the Province who assemble in your Name; that your Church, being preserved in true faith and godly discipline, may fulfill the will of him who loved her and gave himself for her, your Son Jesus Christ our Savior; who now lives and reigns with you and the same Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

Provincial "Office Hours" with Bishop Dobbs and Provincial Leaders

Advent Evening Prayer with Bishops

The New Wineskins Conference has a special place in my heart. The Holy Spirit uses the conference to refresh and challenge me. 

There were so many such stories—testimonies of courage, faith, and the miraculous power of God—that left me awestruck.

As one Anglican bishop in a war-torn region of Nigeria explained, the light of the Gospel shines brightest when everything around us is the darkest.

This communication is to notify you of a new proposed liturgical resource, The Book of Occasional Offices, and to solicit your feedback over the next 12 months to strengthen and improve this as a resource for our province.
