Greetings to the bishops-elect of the Anglican Network in Canada Church
Greetings from Anglican Mainstream, Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (UK and Ireland), the Bishops of Chester and Winchesterr and the Archbishop of Sydney.
Anglican Mainstream sends warm greetings and prayers to the Anglican Network in Canada and rejoice with you in celebrating the consecration of your new bishops. The brave biblical faithfulness of your Network as part of the Anglican Church of North America is an important witness in today's society to the loving purposes of God for the wholesomeness of society and family life, the supreme lordship of Jesus Christ and the reliability and authority of the Bible.

To Bishop Donald Harvey, and Bishops-elect Stephen Leung, Charlie Masters and Trevor Walters
On behalf of The Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (UK and Ireland), we send warmest greetings and assurance of our prayers to you as new Canadian Bishops of the Anglican Church in North America. We were very privileged to welcome your Moderator Bishop Don Harvey in February to speak at a meeting at General Synod and your Archbishop, Bob Duncan to speak at our launch in London in July. We are delighted to be in fellowship and communion with you. We pray for your ministry and your communities as you witness in Canada to historic Anglican Christian faith, to the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ and to the authority of the Holy Scriptures to bring God's truth, life and freedom to your people. May the Holy Spirit empower and strengthen you for the work to which he has called you.

From Archbishop Peter Jensen, Secretary of GAFCON Primates Council:
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the whole armour of God so that you can take your stand. Preach the word, correct, rebuke and encourage. With our love, prayers, support and encouragement for your ministry.
Greetings from the Bishops of Chester .
Dear Bishop Donald
I am writing to send my warmest fraternal greetings to you and your fellow members of ACNA, as you prepare for the consecration of the new Bishops on 13 November.
It is sad that it has become necessary for the ACNA to operate as a separate ecclesial entity from TEC and the Anglican Church of Canada. We pray for reconciliation, but that will only be achieved on the solid foundations of Christian orthodoxy, for which ACNA so clearly stands.
Please convey my fraternal greetings to the new Bishops, and to everyone who gathers for the Service of Consecration.
Best wishes
+ Peter
Greetings from the Bishop of Winchester
Please give my warm greetings in Christ to all who have gathered to worship God in today’s consecration service and especially to the three new bishops. I have ACNA regularly in my prayers as I pray that we in the Church of England will also remain faithful
+Michael Scott-Joynt, Bishop of Winchester
Greetings from the Synod:
That this Synod of the Anglican Network in Canada Church sends its loyal greetings to Her Majesty the Queen and assures her of our prayers for her long reign and for success in all her endeavours as the Queen of Canada.
That this Synod of the Anglican Network in Canada Church sends its greetings to His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and assures him of our continued prayers for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the strengthening of the bonds of affection in the Anglican Communion as a witness for our Lord Jesus Christ.
