> The Most Rev. Drexel Gomez, Anglican Primate of the Province of the
Bahamas and West Indies, and the Most Rev. Gregory Venables, new Archbishop
of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone, have invited the Presiding
Bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Church, the Most Rev. Leonard Riches, and
the Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Province of America, the Most Rev.
Walter Grundorf, to Nassau this week to meet with other primates and bishops
of the Anglican Communion who are in broken or impaired communion with
ECUSA. He has also invited three other R.E. Bishops: West, Grote, and
Sutton, and, I think, one or two other APA Bishops. Archbishops Gomez and
Venables are in constant contact with Anglican Archbishops from Africa and
Southeast Asia.
>
> The Invitation came about when Archbishop Gomez was in Charleston, SC, in
early January, 2004, to address the Anglican Communion Institute (formerly
SEAD) conference held in St. Philip's Church. At the conference, he
continued his outspoken criticism of the illegal acts of the Episcopal
Church USA and the Diocese of Westminster, Anglican Church of Canada, in the
last two years. During that conference he met with Bishops Riches, Sutton
and West; and, out of that meeting came this extraordinary invitation to
forge a link with other Anglican Churches in America outside of ECUSA!
>
> Archbishop Gomez had also been impressed and delighted by the new
Federation for Anglican Ministry in America that emerged from the December
2003 meetings of Anglicans United in Orlando, Florida. This document drew
from the "Federation" concept worked out by the REC/APA Unity Committee
earlier year. Bishops, clergy and laity of the REC and APA, along with
representatives from other continuing Anglican churches, were prominent
signers of the Federation document. (Go to: www.anglicansunited.com or call
1-800-553-3645 for further information.)
>
> All of the visiting bishops traveled to the Bahamas last week, in order to
preach in various Anglican parishes in Nassau yesterday, March 28th. They
had been invited to preach by Archbishop Gomez, who carefully guards who
will preach in his parishes. This is an important courtesy - given only to
those who are orthodox - extended to the REC and APA bishops. Today,
Monday, is a day off for relaxing and refreshment.
>
> The meetings with other archbishops and bishops will begin on Tuesday, and
conclude on Friday, April 2nd, with most of the time spent in prayer, Bible
study, worship and simple discussion about the Gospel and Mission.
Anglicans United and The Ekklesia Society are are assisting in the costs of
this meeting.
>
> Pray for our bishops as they travel and that a renewing of the Holy Spirit
may move through our Anglican/Episcopal churches in America to re-form and
maintain that biblical and apostolic faith of our fathers.
