Even as the Anglican District of Virginia (ADV) faces the possibility of losing nine properties in a fierce legal church battle with the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, three orthodox Anglican bishops have called for a summit to stimulate church growth and new church plants.
Bishops Martyn Minns, (Nigeria) Dave Bena (Nigeria) and John Guernsey (Uganda), buoyed by ACNA Archbishop Robert Duncan's call last June to plant 1000 new Anglican churches by 2015, are launching a new initiative to reach the lost in their communities and to plant new worshiping communities within the ADV.
They are asking people to meet November 20 at the Church of the Epiphany, Herndon, for "The Bishops' Summit on Church Growth and Church Planting." Featured speakers include rectors David Roseberry, who planted and leads the growth of Christ Church, Plano; John Yates, who leads the growth and steady planting of The Falls Church; and William Beasley of Redeemer Anglican Church, a newer plant now meeting on several campuses in the Chicago area.
