First Century Christianity Blossoms at Anglican 1000
A VOL EXCLUSIVE

PLANO, TEXAS - For three days last week, four hundred Anglicans descended upon Christ Church-Plano - a venue very familiar to them - to engage in the profoundly Biblical activity of church planting. This was done in a manner very reminiscent of the way the Apostles did it in the First Century.
In fact, there were several direct descendents of the apostles present - 15 bishops gathered from across the United States and Canada. They were lead by Archbishop Robert Duncan who acted as a modern-day Apostle Paul. It was Archbishop Duncan who, at his investiture as ACNA's first primate, challenged the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) to plant 1000 Anglican congregations during the first five years of the newly emerging American Anglican province.
Conference presenters urged their conferees to turn to the Scriptures for a true blueprint in bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to a broken, sin-sick world starving for the truth of the Gospel. They are sharing the Good News with nursing homes and retirement centers, college campuses, and out into the streets and byways of the city - anywhere where people are alone and hurting and in need of the transforming love of Jesus Christ.
