As you know, as part of the international mission of Anglican Mainstream we have been sharing in some of the challenges of your pilgrimage. We have felt particularly involved when some of our senior leaders, such as Dr J I Packer in Canada and Bishop Henry Scriven in TEC, have shared in the experiences you have gone through. It has been our privilege to stand with you in fellowship and prayer on these occasions as we battle for biblical orthodoxy and the truth of the Gospel in world-wide Anglicanism. We rejoice to see the Lord's hand of blessing on your witness, as He adds daily to your number those who are being saved.

We send to you, your fellow bishops, clergy and people, our very warm greetings. We rejoice with you at reaching this very significant stage in your development and recognize in you the continuing witness of the Anglican Communion in North America. We express our fellowship and communion in the Lord with you. We pray for your ministry and witness and the good Lord's hand of protection and guidance on your counsels this week.

Yours in Christ

Philip Giddings Convenor
