New Anglican Province (ACNA) update

The emerging body, The Anglican Church in North America, has recently announced that 28 dioceses and dioceses-in-formation will comprise the new church when it meets to ratify its canons and constitution next month (June 22-25) in Bedford, TX.

Numerous ecumenical guests will be on hand including prominent evangelical pastor Rick Warren, and Metropolitan Jonah, the Archbishop of Washington and New York and the Metropolitan of All America and Canada for the Orthodox Church in America who will both address the conference.

Also, the newly formed Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) has recently been recognized by the Anglican Province of Nigeria, which has declared itself to be in full communion with ACNA, as the latter is deemed to be a legitimate Anglican Province. Go here for more. Nigeria represents about a quarter of the world's Anglicans, so this move is pretty significant.
