They were addressed by members of the Gafcon Church Planng network recently set up following the Jerusalem gathering in June. Those present were reminded the four P’s of Gafcon Ireland are to PROCLAIM, PARTNER, PLANT and PREPARE. Of these 4 aims, partnering and plan•ng present the greatest challenge. Yet they are central to the future of Anglican ministry in Ireland. Gafcon Ireland has commied to plant 50 churches in the next 50 years! But does this fit with being authencally Anglican? Dr. Ashley Null – the great scholar of Thomas Cranmer and the English Reformaon– provided a masterclass in foundaonal Anglican theology. The Anglican Book of Homilies, the Book of Common Prayer – the ‘Title Deeds’ of Anglicanism – demonstrate that Anglicanism is movement founded on Scripture, concerned with sin, jusficaon by faith, and the love of God! On the island of Ireland there are so many who do not know of this love for which they were made. They do not know of the love that is iniated by God alone and turns our hearts to right love of our creator who bought us back by the blood of Jesus the Son. They do not know the God of all comfort. To take the message of Christ with cultural sensivity is the work of authenc Anglicans. So Gafcon Ireland will devote itself to PARTNER and to PLANT. Whether it is Belfast or Dublin, Galway or Cork, it is commied. The good news is that we are not alone, and that we have already started. Will you join us as we plan to PARTNER and PLANT? • Pray for urgency - for the •me is short. • Pray for paence - for it is the Lord’s work. • Pray for and give financial support - for that is what gospel fellowship means. • Pray for church planters who are PREPARED and able for the work. • Pray for churches whose affecons and hearts, are lied up to the Lord in love for God by his word PROCLAIMED. 5 Anglican Bites The Anglican church of Chile recently became the 40th province of the Anglican Communion. The decision to bring the Chilean church to provincial status was made by the Standing Commi"ee of the Anglican Consultave Council, and a majority of Anglican Communion Primates. The decision to become an independent Anglican province follows a sustained period of growth of the Anglican Church in Chile and is designed to make further growth easier. Bishop Héctor Zavala Muñoz, more commonly known as Bishop Tito, became Primate of the new Province on 4 November 2018. In an open le"er to Anglicans in Chile, he said that the diocese had “never ceased complying with all the requirements and procedures” requested of it since its Synod sought to become an autonomous independent province of the Anglican Communion in November 2015. We remember the Diocese of Albany within the Episcopal Church of the United States (ECUSA). Please pray for their bishop William (Bill) Love and that he would lead faithfully and compassionately. Please pray for the rapidly growing church in Nigeria.

  • Divine Glory
    Divine Glory Welcome We are so happy you are with us. Please add your voice and heart to the prayers. Help others find a place near you, and greet the person next to you as we prepare to worship together. Please stand and sit as you are able. Children welcome! Nursery care for infants and toddlers 3 and under in the blue room downstairs. Godly Play for children 4 to 12 is in the raspberry room. For pastoral concerns, please contact Susan McEvoy (754-7079). To make changes or additions to the prayer list or to put an announcement in the bulletin contact Diana Anderson (754-2113). Our Service Today is March 3, the Last Sunday after the Epiphany. Our gospel is the story of Jesus’ transfiguration. It is a story richly woven with themes and symbols drawn from Israel’s past and its hopes for the future. Moses and Elijah represent the law and the prophets; while Jesus is praying, divine glory is reflected in his human person. Today is also our Companion Links Sunday. This year we are taking part in a fresh expressions-influenced liturgy from the Diocese of Leicester, England called “Campfire Communion.” In 2015 the Bishop of each of the five Links Dioceses discerned that one Sunday a year would be dedicated to experiencing a typical worship service from one of our dioceses each year. The Diocese of Wyoming is privileged to be linked with the Diocese of Leicester; the Trichy-Tanjore Diocese, Church of South India; Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania; and the Diocese of Kiteto, Tanzania.

  • "Lambeth 1998
    Lambeth 1998 - the Death of Anglicanism? Mark Burkill The outcome of the 1998 Lambeth Conference was probably beyond the best expectations of Evangelicals. We are so used to depressing, vague statements emerging from the higher reaches of our denomination that the determinedly biblical nature of some key resolutions is a considerable shock and a cause for much rejoicing. In the months since the Conference many reports and commentaries have been made in the church press and at other meetings. Already there are signs of attempts to sideline and ignore what was said there. Naturally the Lambeth resolutions have no binding force on individual provinces like the Church of England, but their moral force can be used to sound the trumpet of the gospel and biblical morality. Yet in working to make Lambeth 1998 a milestone for biblical Christianity we should not make unwarranted assumptions about the future shape of the Anglican Communion based on a distorted view of the past. In that danger lies the point of this article. The title 'Lambeth 1998- the Death of Anglicanism' may sound unduly pessimistic in the light of the resolutions that came out of the Conference, yet it should not be seen in that way. The title has been carefully phrased. It is not prophesying the death of the gospel nor is it prophesying the death of the Church of England. What it may be prophesying is the death of what is called 'Anglicanism'. And that, when we understand it properly, could be a very welcome development. We may begin by outlining the development of this phenomenon called 'Anglicanism', and along with it the story of the origins of the Lambeth Conference.
