FACA in Full Partnership
On April 8, 2008, the Federation of Anglican Churches in the Americas (FACA), at its semi-annual meeting in Summerville, S.C., voted to accept the Articles of the Common Cause Partnership (CCP) and also the Theological Statement of the Common Cause Partners. At its previous meeting in October 2007, FACA voted to become full partners of the Common Cause Partnership. This latest vote makes full partnership a reality by the approval of the CCP documents. Also at this meeting, the Rt. Rev. Paul Hewett, Diocese of the Holy Cross, was elected as Moderator of FACA.
The addition of FACA to CCP brings an additional 232* congregations under the CCP umbrella. The FACA members are the Anglican Church in America, the Anglican Mission in the Americas, the Anglican Province of America, the Diocese of the Holy Cross, the Episcopal Missionary Church, and the Reformed Episcopal Church. The Most Rev. Gregory Venables, Archbishop of the Southern Cone, Anglican Communion, is the primatial patron of FACA. The FACA website is www.anglicanfederation.org.
*This number does not include the congregations of AMiA and REC, which are already full partners in CCP.
