The Diocese
of the Rio Grande is now a part of the Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses
and Parishes
At a meeting on January 27 2004, the Standing Committee took the action of joining
our diocese to the Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses and Parishes. The
Network is currently exploring ways of realigning Episcopal and Anglican structures
of authority, in response to the actions of General Convention last summer.
At issue in particular is their goal for having alternative bishop visitors
for conservative congregations in liberal dioceses, without the requirement
for permission from the local diocesan bishop. They are also working to strengthen
ties with bishops in certain parts of the Anglican Communion that are in tune
with their mission. The links below provide more information on these organizations.
