APA Presiding Bishop to Address ACA Synod
What are the implications?

September 10, 2010

The upcoming Synod of the Diocese of the Northeast, Anglican Church in America (ACA) will feature a well-known speaker.

It has been announced on their website: "It is our pleasure to announce that Bishop Walter Grundorf will be the guest speaker at our upcoming diocesan synod. Bishop Grundorf is the Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Province in America. The APA was formed in 1995 during the formative years of the Anglican Continuum. Bishop Grundorf and the APA had, in fact, been part of the Anglican Church in America for several years after its founding."

The last paragraph is written as a sort of disclaimer: "Bishop Marsh in placing the invitation in context said 'This does not affect our current discussions about the Apostolic Constitution and the Ordinariates nor have any of our episcopate or parishes joined the APA. It is an opportunity for us to reach out to a fellow continuing Anglican church body in the hopes of finding unity among those of us who have the same faith and practices. Please join us in welcoming Bishop Walter Grundorf as our guest speaker at this, our Nineteenth diocesan synod.'"
