Pittsburgh, PA — Bishop Robert Duncan, moderator of the Anglican Communion Network, will join Anglican leaders from around the world in Woodbridge, VA on May 5 to celebrate the installation of the Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns as the Missionary Bishop of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA).

Bishop Duncan said he was happy to be a part of this historic moment for CANA. “Martyn and CANA are partners with the Network. Most, if not all, CANA congregations also maintain their affiliation with us. We are fellow bishops of the worldwide Anglican Communion. I am looking forward to being part of this celebration of Martyn’s new ministry.”

Responding to uninformed concerns that have recently been raised about the relationship between CANA and other orthodox Anglicans, Bishop Duncan also made it clear that he has absolute trust in Bishop Minns’ and CANA’s commitment to a unified orthodox Anglican presence in the United States. “CANA has made it quite clear they desire to be a partner, not a competitor, in the ongoing realignment of Anglicanism here. I intend to take them at their word and join them in mission and ministry whenever and wherever possible,” said Bishop Duncan.
