Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I write this from the Provincial Council meeting in Dallas/Ft. Worth. As of 11:45 a.m. CDT on April 24 the Diocese of Western Anglicans is now a diocese of the Anglican Church in North America. May God's Name be praised. In fact we were the first diocese to be so approved.

Please forward this information to your parish's delegation to Western Anglican and to the congregation as a whole.

I want you all to know what a privilege it is to be the collegiate vicar of Western Anglicans during this exciting time.

Your brother in Christ,
Fr. Bill Thompson+

Has anyone seen the full list

Has anyone seen the full list of 28? Is it territorial across the US and Canada?

How is California divided up? (I'm assuming the Bay Area and San Joaquin get the rest of the state).

Does Western Anglicans include any other states?

I haven't seen the full list yet, but I confess to not really searching for it yet either.  I can tell you about California anyway, which will be comprised of one geographical diocese--San Joaquin--and one "affinity" diocese--Western Anglicans.  So far, Western Anglicans includes congregations from Arizona, Washington, Montana, and Idaho.

Someone would do well to put it all on a map.  Hmm.  I'll add it to the list..

I am rector of an Anglican parish in a diocese that has existed since 1991. All valid priests and bishop. No homosexual behavior. No feminist "clergy". Are you re-inventing the wheel?

Less like re-inventing the wheel and more like putting on the spare until we can make it down the road to a good tire repair store.

Say more about your diocese...like the name of it, for starters.
