Participants from the Anglican Church in North America will gather to consider our unique witness to the kingdom of God in our North American context. We will dream together, pray together, learn together, and discern together how the Lord is leading Anglicans to contend for shalom amidst the brokenness’ of our communities.
We will gather in Scottsdale, Arizona at the <A HREF="https://thecasa.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Franciscan Renewal Center</A>. We look forward to forming a community of Anglican men and women who are practitioners, organizational leaders, clergy, lay leaders, and others who are engaged in contending for shalom among the vulnerable, marginalized and under-resourced communities.
This event is the next grass-roots step formed out of Archbishop Foley's Matthew 25 Initiative. We would like for you to be a part of this exciting gathering. We want your voice and story and expertise in the room.
