New Anglican Churches begun in Atlanta and Rome, Georgia by CEEC

As events unfold in the life of the Episcopal Church’s USA, other Anglican and Episcopal jurisdictions are actively at work to establish new parishes where the orthodox faithful can find a home.  In recent weeks, two new Anglican churches have been established in Atlanta and Rome that are receiving Episcopal oversight from the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches.  The CEEC seeks to blend the liturgical, evangelical, and spirit-filled aspects of the Holy Church.

All Saints Anglican Church in Rome, Georgia, is a mission’s outreach of the Archdiocese of the Holy Trinity, Province of Christ the Good Shepherd.  The Most Reverend Max Broussard, Archbishop, has appointed the Very Reverend Mark Camp as Vicar of the mission.  All Saints is now meeting at Chapel Hill United Methodist Church in Rome and has been warmly received there.  The website for All Saints is www.allsaintsac.org.

Church of the Trinity in Acworth, Georgia (Cobb County) was formed by a group of families who left the Episcopal Church’s USA over the recent issue of the consecration of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire.  While the parish has not yet formally affiliated with any jurisdiction, it is also receiving Episcopal oversight from the Province of Christ the Good Shepherd.  Rev. Camp is now serving as Priest there as well. 

The web site for Church of the Trinity is www.churchofthetrinity.net.

Both churches are growing as word spreads of our existence, said Rev. Camp.  We intend to be churches where the faithful can hear the Word of God expounded and taught in depth without compromise, where the ancient Creeds of the Church are adhered to, and where Anglican orthodoxy is maintained.  We have an emphasis on community and building one another up in the faith.  We hope to establish more parishes in the surrounding area.

The Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches is a member of the new Anglican Federation. Rev.  Camp is also the Abbot General of the Company of Jesus, a Franciscan and Benedictine third order religious community.  The COJ is an affiliate ministry of the American Anglican Council.
