Breakaway Anglicans Working Eagerly to Meet Goal to Plant 1,000 Churches in North America

Conservative Anglicans, who began their own church less than a year ago because of their disapproval of the extremely liberal policies adopted by the Episcopal Church, are moving with great momentum to answer the call of planting 1,000 churches, according to the Christian Today website.

Hundreds gathered in Plano, Texas on Monday,February 22, 2010, for the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) summit where they were told that they could be the leading church planting denomination in America if they succeed.

The vision of Anglican 1,000 was cast in the summer of 2009 by ACNA's Archbishop, the Most Rev. Robert Duncan, when the Church was constituted by some 700 parishes that had cut ties with the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada.

"If we are accountable to the Word, tradition, and Holy Spirit, and if we are accountable for the transformation of society, we will have 1,000 churches in five years," Duncan said.
