At Intentional Disciples, a post on the transformative impacat of Eucharistic Adoration.

And a couple of other bits of fruit from blogging about:

Thank you! A brief Christianity Today piece laying out the basics of the two main re-asserters groups within the American Anglican/Episcopal world

The new Anglican outposts differ in structure and aims. AMiA, the oldest and largest group, started in 2000 and has grown to nearly 100 congregations. It focuses on church planting in order to reach those with no church affiliation. "Our objective is to be the Anglican mission in America," said Charles Murphy, missionary bishop and chairman of AMiA, "not the Anglican refuge in America."

CANA, meanwhile, seeks to provide a stable ecclesial home for escaping congregations. Its ultimate goal: the creation of a 39th Anglican province in North America, a conservative alternative to TEC.

The organizations also differ on finances. AMiA sends a portion of congregations’ tithes to its founding province in Rwanda. CANA has rejected such an approach, fearing the wealth disparity between American and Nigerian congregations might create a skewed relationship.

"There are no strings attached with CANA," said Martyn Minns, missionary bishop of CANA. "Any funds to be raised here will be used to … do ministry here. [We’re] not a sort of cash source for an overseas province."

Congregations’ choices about where to re-affiliate reflect their new organizations’ setup and goals. A large and growth-minded congregation with 2,200 weekly worshipers, Christ Church went with AMiA. Truro Church, a historic parish that once counted George Washington’s father as a member of its vestry, chose the more traditional church governance of CANA.
