Alignment Makes Sense For those who believe there is strength in numbers, the align ment of six groups within the Anglican tradition [p. 6] should be a force worthy of attention. The intriguing configuration of the American Anglican Council (AAC), Forward in Faith North America (FlFNA), Reformed Episcopal Church (REC), Anglican Mission in America (AMiA), Anglican Province in America (APA) and the Anglican Communion Network (ACN) may be an attractive alternative for conservative Episcopalians disillu sioned by recent developments in the Episcopal Church. Particularly interesting is the inclusion of three groups that fall outside the Episcopal Church. The Reformed Episcopal Church separated itself from the Anglican fold 125 years ago, and only in recent years has there been significant interaction between the two jurisdictions [TLC, June 6]. The largely charis matic AMiA has been separated from the Episcopal Church for more than two years and claims union with Canterbury through the provinces of South East Asia and Rwanda. And for the APA, a mostly Anglo-Catholic body that would be classified in the "continuing" Anglican fold, it is a significant step to be realigned with Episcopalians. It is estimated that together the six jurisdic tions total more than 200,000 persons. The reason for the amalgamation is obvious. The six groups, while expressing differences in their theology and their worship, are united in their belief that the Episcopal Church departed from the catholic faith and from traditional Anglican and Chris tian belief in the consecration of a non-celibate homosexual per son as Bishop Coadjutor of New Hampshire and in the recognition of same-sex blessings. They, like most Anglicans, are awaiting the report of the theological commission appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury in hopes that it may produce a recommendation to end the current stalemate within the Amer The configuration of six groups ican Church. One of the first questions to ask of the new alignment is what will it do. While it may be regarded suspiciously as providing a within the Anglican tradition venue for conservative Episcopalians to leave the Church, that strategy is not its intent. Rather, under the leadership of the ACN may be an attractive alternative and its chairman, the Bishop of Pittsburgh, the alliance has pledged "to make common cause for the gospel of Jesus Christ for conservative Episcopalians and common cause for a united, missionary, and orthodox Angli canism in North America." They intend to cooperate with each disillusioned by recent other in building unity among previously separated Anglicans, and in some cases to rebuild relationships that have been either deteriorating or non-existent in recent years. developments. Another question is whether the six jurisdictions are forming a new church. It may look that way to some observers, but that is not the intention of the organizers. The three Episcopal groups involved intend to stay within the fold, and the other three are not at this time pursuing organic unity. The formation of the new alliance is an encouraging develop ment . Working together with like-minded Christians in a com mon cause, sharing the beliefs of a majority of the Anglican Communion, and presenting throughout North America an attractive alternative in opposing what amounts to the spirit of the age is at last a hopeful occurrence. We wish its leaders well in their attempt to present an orthodox witness to the gospel.
