In April 2023, 1,300 Anglicans from around the world gathered in Kigali, Rwanda, at the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) to chart a new course for Global Anglicanism. The final Conference statement (the Kigali Commitment) calls for “resetting” the Anglican Communion on the foundation of Biblical authority and classic Anglican principles of doctrine, discipline and worship, as articulated in the Jerusalem Declaration (2008).

During Lent, All Souls in Richmond, VA had art installed over the altar. You can read about it here. For Easter, the artwork was transformed.

The month of May is designated as Asian Heritage Month. But in Korea, May is designated as the Family Month where we honor our parents on Parent’s Day and celebrate our children in Children’s Day. And it is my honor to share the wondrous works God has been doing with our Family in Christ.

On this Ascension Day, may your heart be drawn upward in worship of our Ascended Lord. In leaving this earth to enter heaven, he is now King of kings and Lord of lords.

My prayer for the Anglican Communion and my prayer for our diocese comes from Titus 2:11-14: “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.

On April 3, 2023, the Committee on Nominations for Bishop (“DCN”) submitted their Concluding Report, pursuant to Canon 5.4.F.viii of the Canons of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (“DOMA”). 

Intro

This workshop satisfies the diocesan training requirements for clergy, vestry members, staff and volunteers who work with youth or children.

There is no charge for this training, but registration is required.

The Falls Church Anglican is participating with ARDF (Anglican Relief and Development Fund) and other Anglican churches in a Disaster Relief Mission Trip to Florida. ARDF will be partnering with AIM (Adventures in Missions), a nondenominational Christian relief organization that is on-the-ground in Ft. Myers.

Do you want to know what prophecy is? Would you like to learn the basics of how to prophesy, who can prophesy, who is a prophet, and how to discern false from true prophecy?

You are invited to a workshop for faith leaders, counselors and community members to explore the Christian understanding of food, body image and diet culture.

I'm pleased to announce you can now view Life SUMMIT and ySUMMIT 2023 presentations on Anglicans For Life's YouTube channel.

Do you enjoy good music, food and fun for the entire family? Do you have an old bike that’s needing a tune up, or perhaps looking for a new-used bike? Are you looking for a way to kick-off the summer season with donuts, and cider? If you said, “Yes” to any of these, then come on out to our Bike, Band and Burger, Bash!  

Apart from Christ, we all experience deep loneliness; and even as believers we can fail to experience the richness of relationship God intends for us. The great news is that God’s word speaks to the issue of loneliness! We can grow healthy relationships and find true intimacy in our friendships, families, and the church. 

Launched in Jerusalem in 2008, GAFCON stands as a response to the crisis in our Communion. Its goal is to offer a biblical counter to progressive Anglicans’ errors in doctrine and practice and a spiritual home for the faithful.

Anglicans can be an eclectic bunch.  We are more than willing to take something good in the broader church and make it our own.  A case in point is the 18 icons hanging on the walls near the entrance to the sanctuary at Church of the Epiphany in Chantilly, VA.

The Access Leadership Network seeks to discover, develop, and deploy leaders working to build communities of belonging for those with and without disabilities in parishes across the ACNA.

Greetings from Kigali, Rwanda where we are attending GAFCON 4 (Global Anglican Futures Conference).

Camp Booyah 2023 will be an Anglican summer adventure that you will not want to miss!
