New International Anglican Center in Birmingham, England
Episcopal News Service. January 15, 1993 [93010O]
A new center for Anglican Communion Studies opened at Selly Oak Colleges in Birmingham, on December 1. The center provides a place of meeting, study and reflection for potential Anglican leaders from the worldwide Anglican Communion. The center is one of a number of new ventures around the communion that aim to bring Anglicans together from different parts of the world. The new center has been commended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Dr. George Carey, who said, "If our Anglican heritage is to be shared with the wider church, we shall need to study its history and discover the wealth of its traditions, in company with each other." The center is the result of the collaboration of two British Anglican mission agencies, the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Church Missionary Society.
