For Immediate Release:

FORWARD IN FAITH, NORTH AMERICA'S COUNCIL TO HOLD URGENT MEETING IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING NEW HAMPSHIRE CONSECRATION OF VICKY GENE ROBINSON

FIF/NA's Executive Committee and Council will meet November 3-5 to discuss strategy for going forward in support of orthodox Anglicanism. The highly opposed consecration of V. Gene Robinson as Bishop Coadjutor of New Hampshire has created this opportune moment.

The Rev'd Canon Bill Atwood, who has for years made possible the communication and cooperation between orthodox Primates around the world, will once again be present with his invaluable input. The Most Rev'd Bernard Malango, Primate of Central Africa, who, along with more than half of the Primates worldwide, strongly supports the orthodox in North America, will participate. The Rt. Rev'd John Broadhurst, Chairman of Forward in Faith International, will also contribute.

Recent events have brought to a head the irreconcilable situation in ECUSA which has developed over several decades. With various orthodox and conservative organizations cooperating, an orthodox Province in North America must now be established, thus fulfilling of the landscaped goal of Forward in Faith, North America.

Because of their opposition to this consecration, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Primates of the Anglican Communion have declared their support of "adequate episcopal oversight" for orthodox Anglicans, free of the control of the revisionists in ECUSA. "Adequate" episcopal oversight means satisfactory to those who receive it.

FIF/NA is the largest and oldest orthodox Anglican organization in North America. More than 25,000 North Americans and North American parishes have signed "Declarations of Common Faith and Purpose."
