The leader of a reviving North American Anglicanism welcomed nearly 400 church planters, bishops, clergy, seminary leaders and lay leaders to the 3rd Annual Anglican 1000 Church Planting Summit on March 6-8, 2012 at Christ Church in Plano. Fifty percent of those in attendance admitted they have not been to a Church Planting Summit before.
"We have changed the subject in the discussions about Anglicanism in North America. We are reaching North America with the Good News of Jesus Christ by planting 1000 new churches. This is an extraordinary gathering of extraordinary people. We learned in January 2012 that we had achieved the 200 mark of new churches. As of today, there are a record number with 35 more on the boards," said Anglican Church in North America Archbishop Robert Duncan.
During his 2009 investiture, Archbishop Duncan made the prophetic call for 1000 new congregations. A few months later, a team gathered in Plano to dream about a cooperative movement to plant churches and answer this call. Since then, Anglican 1000 has become a primary ministry of the Anglican Church in North America to raise up Anglican congregations and communities of faith to reach people with the transforming love of Jesus Christ. Canon David Roseberry immediately stepped forward to provide the catalytic leadership necessary to launching our movement.
