He added that CANA will license female priests, although it has not decided whether it will ordain new ones. The new bishops to be consecrated are Canon Roger Ames, rector of St. Luke"s Church in Akron, Ohio; Canon David Anderson, president of the American Anglican Council in Atlanta; the Rev. Amos Fagbamiye, vicar of the Anglican Church of the Resurrection in Indianapolis; and the Rev. Canon Nathan Kanu, vicar of Christ"s Ambassadors Anglican Church in Oklahoma City.
CANA is based in Northern Virginia, where the original 11 churches are in a court fight with the Diocese of Virginia over millions of dollars of property. Both sides were in court for five days last month, and a decision in the case is not expected until at least next month.
