Twelve bishops at ACN Eucharist
This is a photograph of the concluding Mass of the Anglican Communion Network's annual meeting, which St. Vincent's Cathedral hosted in late April. This was a major event. There were twelve bishops concelebrating (Bishop Iker of Fort Worth was the chief celebrant). Among these twelve bishops were two leaders from the "Anglican diaspora," groups that have left communion with ECUSA over doctrinal differences in the past. One of the major goals of the ACN is to restore unity among orthodox Anglicans of all kinds in North America, both those within and those outside of ECUSA at present. It was a glorious night! Thanks be to God!

The young ladies in the photo are key members of our acolyte corps at St. Vincent's, Adam. I, for one, appreciate their service. (They also make the best informed--and orthodox--comments in my youth confirmation class.)
It's the monastic hoods that I found a bit peculiar - and why are some of the bishops concelebrating in Quire Dress?
Best, Richard
Are there no traditionalists left??? Actually, we have female servers at my parish too, and they are quite good. One is middle-aged, the other 18 years old. Both were good teachers for me. I second the comments of Richard...
The Moderator of the Network set the dress for Bishops. Most of the Bishops present were reformed or low church evangelical. The difference in Sacramental Theology is reflected in the vestment choices. With the issues we are facing in the ECUSA, the vestment wars of the 19th and 20th century are a thing of the past at this point.
