Significance of Common Cause

    years of fracturing.
  • A new Anglican Orthodoxy based upon the Authority
    and inspiration of Scripture

    become a Replacement Province for ACC/TEC if they
    do not sign on to the Communion Covenant

Pray for
  • Recognition of the Common Cause Province by the
    ABC and by the Primates
  • Continued missional activity together
    demonstrating an organic unity and witness to
    this broken world
