Dear Friends and Supporters

REUNIFICATION

As you may know by now, the Anglican Church in America has reunited with the Anglican Catholic Church. We are grateful for this unprecedented and unanimous joining together of currently three members of the original G4 group. The joining of jurisdictions always brings with it a few bumps along the way as many jurisdictions have duplicate ministries and programs that need to get settled to everyone’s satisfaction.

INDEPENDENTANT

It was for this reason that the Board of Directors of the International Anglican Fellow-ship met in early September to discuss several ideas as to how the IAF would respond to the reunification, since many of the board were from ACA or TAC. After several days of deliberations by email, it was decided unanimously that the International Angli-can Fellowship would proceed as an independent charitable corporation, continuing its work in supporting Angli-can Missions worldwide. It was further decided that the Tradition Anglican Church missionary dioceses, previously supported by the IAF, would now be supported by the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada (ACCC) directly, thereby relieving IAF the responsibility of all TAC churches and dioceses from which the ACA province has now departed.

THE WAY FORWARD

As you also may be aware, the IAF has, over the past few years, developed a ‘Designated’ Missions pro-gram that matches Anglican Churches and donors with worldwide missions of personal interest. These ‘Designated’ Missions have been supported by our IAF donors in addition to the TAC, which was the initial purpose of the IAF. IAF Designated Missions today include the Sioux Nation in South Dakota, Providence Anglican Church of Indonesia, The Farsi Mission in Indonesia, The Anglican Church of the Dominican Republic, Ynet Foundation of Uganda and beginning this year, Change Destiny Life Africa in Kenya. Along with these ongoing mission projects, the IAF will this year expand its outreach to include the support of Anglican Church Plants specifically located within the Unit-ed States along with our cur-rent disaster funding for churches facing natural disasters.

It is in this way that the Inter-national Anglican Fellowship will continue its worldwide outreach both here and abroad, hopefully for many years to come. In the end, it is mission donors like you who will help to continue the work of the IAF – and for that we remain ever grateful.
