Orthodox Leadership Gathers in Atlanta

About 50 leaders in the orthodox Anglican movement are gathering in Atlanta at the headquarters of the American Anglican Council. Most in attendance are lay leaders from dioceses across the country: Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, West Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Maryland, and Florida are especially well-represented.

Most attendees gave presentations on their areas of expertise, from new church startups to Internet communications to organizing like-minded laity. Canons David Anderson and Ellis Brust, and communications director Cynthia Brust gave thoughtful and motivational addresses, and all three stood for a demanding question-and-answer session after dinner on Friday.

The meeting continues Saturday morning.
