Welcome
to the official website of the world-wide Anglican Communion, comprising over 80 million members in 44 regional and national member churches around the globe in over 160 countries.
We hope that you will visit our website often, not only for the latest news and information from our Anglican/Episcopal family of churches, but also to become familiar with the ministry, mission and work of the Instruments of Communion, served by the Anglican Communion Office in London.
Who We Are
The vitality of the Communion is experienced in the life and mission of the different Churches of the Communion. You can find information about their work under the "Resources" heading below as well as links to their own websites. The ministry of Anglican Communion at international level can be approached through the ongoing programmes of the various official commissions and networks and the work of the "Instruments of Communion" listed here. In these pages you will find the various resources we share in the Communion and links to the staff members responsible for the different tasks and ministries.

Some 35 members of the Anglican Peace and Justice Network (APJN) will meet in Geneva, Switzerland, from 13 - 20 March, 2010. Representing over 20 countries and all the world’s continents, participants will learn more about making their voices heard within the UN system in Geneva. In parallel, they will be introduced to UN policies and programmes to inform their own work on peace and justice worldwide.
Meeting in Canterbury at the beginning of Lent 2010, the first meeting of the Steering Group of TEAC2, established by ACC 14 in Jamaica in May 2009, has been nourished and undergirded by the Scripture-soaked worship of this Cathedral in which we have been privileged to share.
