Anglican Pan American Conference Affirms Common Ministry

Biblically Orthodox Anglicans from the Americas and Caribbean meet to promote their common ministry in the Western Hemisphere

Nassau, Bahamas--(July 10, 2005)--The Pan American Conference of orthodox Communion-committed Anglicans met in Nassau, Bahamas, from July 6-8 under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit. The meetings were chaired by Archbishop Drexel Gomez and Archbishop Gregory Venables.

The group met for prayer and bible study and to find ways to promote and support our unity and common ministry in the Western Hemisphere. Submitting to one another and to our Lord Jesus Christ, we were greatly blessed by our time together and by the relationships we have established and strengthened.

Those present have committed to furthering the common ministry of the Americas and the Caribbean and to assist the global Communion with finding solutions to the crisis currently afflicting the Anglican churches in the Western Hemisphere which hinders our gospel witness in this region. We look forward to building on the work of the Conference and working with our constituencies to strengthen our ties and promote our traditional Anglican heritage in submission to the Primates and the
Archbishop of Canterbury.

Given the enthusiasm for this preliminary meeting, we are confident of future participation from a broader representation of Communion-committed Anglicans in this hemisphere.

The Province of the West Indies
The Province of the Southern Cone
The Anglican Communion Network (ACN)
