June 6, 2012
On June 6, members of Provincial Council of the Anglican Church in North America unanimously voted to grant admission and full diocesan status to the Diocese of the Carolinas. The Council also granted diocese-in-formation status to a group of congregations brought together under the Anglican Diocese of Christ the King.
The Audit Committee of the Governance Task Force recommended the addition of both after careful review of their applications and supporting documents, including their Constitution and Canons to ensure they are in order and conformity with the Anglican Church in North America Constitution and Canons .
The Diocese of the Carolinas was accepted as a diocese-in-formation at last year's Provincial Council meeting in Long Beach, Calif. Since then, four additional churches/church plants have affiliated with the Diocese. It is anchored by parishes in Charlotte, Raleigh and Charleston, which will play a key role in planting new churches and developing existing ones. The congregations within the Diocese have also conducted a search and unanimously selected their Vicar General, The Rev. Steve Wood, as their candidate for Bishop. That decision was affirmed by the Anglican Church in North America College of Bishops on Tuesday, June 5.
