From VirtueOnline:
The ANGLICAN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA celebrated three years of growth on Dec. 5 despite on-going litigation with the DIOCESE OF VIRGINIA. In the past three years, ADV has grown exponentially - both physically and spiritually, a spokesman reported. From eight Episcopal congregations they have grown to 30 worshipping communities including 27 congregations and three mission fellowships. Many congregations are now working together in mission and ministry, including youth groups, mission trips, and more. CANA Bishop David Bena said, "What a Spirit-filled three years it has been for the Anglican District of Virginia. I have been most impressed with the loving attitude of the people of the parishes as they stand firm in the Gospel and move forward in mission." James Guthrie, Communications Director said the goal is "to plant 150 new worshipping communities in the next five years."
