More
than 1,000 Anglicans to meet in Ohio
From
the Common Cause Website
Unity
isn’t real unless it is embraced at the local level. That is
something that somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 Anglicans of many
different jurisdictions will be living out when they meet together
in Ohio this October.
2007
Inaugural Anglican
Awakening Worship in Chicago with over 2,000 in attendance
They
will be participating in a national movement called Anglican
Awakening, which is a part of the larger Christ Awakening for
Mission
Worldwide, said the Rev Canon Doc Loomis, Great Lakes Anglican
Co-chair and Canon Missioner for the Anglican Mission in the
Americas. The event, which will be held at St. Luke’s in Akron, OH
October 21–23 will bring together the leaders and congregations of
the Great Lakes Anglican Network, a group of 50 congregations from
eight different Anglican jurisdictions. Bishop Roger Ames, in
residence at St. Luke's, is Great Lakes Anglican's co-chairman with
Loomis and is the event host.
Bishop
Bill Murdoch, dean of the Anglican Communion Network’s New England
Convocation,  and All Saints
Anglican Church and Ministry Center
Amesbury, Massachusetts, will host an Anglican Awakening event for
the Northeast November 13–15.
Anglican
Awakening events aim to prepare people to work together to share the
gospel. They focus on helping local congregations understand how
they can do mission together and celebrate their new relationships
with one another.
“We’re
going from Common Cause to common ground…It is [asking] how do we
work together in mission. We will reach more lost people if we join
hands,” said the Rev. William Beasley of the Anglican Mission in
the Americas.
Anglican
Awakening is also helping orthodox Anglicans accept responsibility
for their own weakness and divisions and to ask forgiveness of God
and of each other. “What some are seeing as a very depressing time
in the church, with a lot of brokenness and division, we are seeing
as a very encouraging time… We found ourselves in a wonderful
place, which is broken and on our knees,” said Loomis.
The
Anglican Awakening movement began in the Chicago area. Beasley and
Chief Jimmy Gboyega Delano, who serves as Secretary for the
Convocation of Anglicans in North America, were two early
organizers.
According
to both Beasley and Delano, the Awakening movement initially brings
conservative Anglicans together, but it won’t stop there. These
two, and other supporters of the movement, have a truly global and
trans-denominational vision of helping Christians come together in
one body to share the good news of Jesus Christ. “We see them all
coming together under Christ, that is what I am spending the rest of
my life for,” said Delano.
“We
have incredible opportunities to partner in mission right now,”
said Beasley.
