St. George's Anglican Community: Making A Way In The Desert
St. George's Anglican Community: Making A Way In The Desert
ACNA Story
July 16, 2012
When looking at the skyline of Phoenix, Arizona the glimmer of modern steel and glass stands in stark contrast to the drab ancient sands of the Sonoran Desert that surround the burgeoning city. Over 4,000,000 people now live in the metro area of this contemporary oasis with a growth rate that continues to rise. Although there is growth and activity in Phoenix, it is more than just the landscape that makes the city dry. Phoenix consistently places high on lists measuring our nation's least-churched cities.
In the middle of this modern city that is attempting to reclaim the ancient desert, a new church with an ancient faith is working to reclaim the city itself. For the past five years The Rev. Shane Copeland has been working to lay the groundwork for a new church plant in downtown Phoenix. St. George's (named after the actual Christian martyr and fabled dragon slayer) defines itself as a "classical Anglican church" that is "working for the good of the city." The vision for the church began even as early as the 1990s as Father Shane felt the call to plant a new church in his native Phoenix.
