2023 NEXT30 CONFERENCE
By Dr. Jerry Richardson, St. Andrews, Little Rock The last 30 years have seen a decline of the church in much of the world and certainly in North America. The Next30 Conference, hosted by St. Andrew’s Church in Little Rock, represented a gathering of leaders who are seeing newly planted churches grow and flourish. It was a privilege to be with this Kingdom-minded crowd that used the three days to teach, share stories and experiences, discuss and swap lessons learned…
A Sacred Interlude: AMiA Clergy on the Coast Retreat
By David+ Larlee, Rector, St. Bartholomew’s Dallas, TX For my 43rd birthday, my son Thomas bought me a small figurine he found at a local antique store. It was of a buffalo, and he had been drawn to it. It was only later that the significance of that gift hit home. When storms hit, buffalo, unlike other cattle, don’t run away from them. When a storm is approaching, their instincts lead them to run directly into it. This may seem…

Foundations for Community: Summer Kids and Youth Programs at Grace Northridge
Summer time is traditionally the season for churches to hold special programs for children and youth. Grace Northridge is a member of the Anglican Mission in America and took some unique approaches in developing their summer fun this year. Teaching Children to Be Builders For three evenings in June, 25 children ages 3 through fifth grade at Grace Northridge (San Antonio) learned to be builders. With the wraparound theme of “Jesus, our Strong Foundation,” the kids put on construction vests…
Summer Adventures: All Saints Dallas Kids
By Dr. Robin Turner, Director of Family Ministries at All Saints Dallas This June, our All Saints Dallas Family Ministries team hosted two sets of nontraditional summer programming for families, crafted to accomplish our goals of fellowship and formation while taking into account some of our obstacles like low volunteer bandwidth and serving families who live across our whole metroplex. Our first program, Summer Adventures, grew out of a desire to make time and space for play, fellowship and spiritual…
Evidence of God’s Goodness in Southeast Asia
We praise God for what he continues to do through our international partners! Bishop James Min Dein, who serves in Southeast Asia, shares that approximately 200 people attended a recent Bible conference and Diocesan Council, an experience they found both touching and enjoyable. On February 24 and 25, they celebrated the Archbishop Stephen’s birthday and dedicated a new cathedral signboard. Bishop James asks for prayer as the diocese plans to hold a Catechist Conference and special Bible training this year…
Living the Mission in 2023
What does Three-Stream Anglicanism look like? For three days, February 16-18, 2023, we gathered to consider how we as a mission balance Scripture, Sacrament and Spirit. Over 160 clergy and lay leaders attended Live the Mission, including representatives from approximately 15 churches and numerous guests from churches outside the AMiA. During our time together we heard not only from those within our mission but also from featured speakers: university president, professor and author Gordon T. Smith, Novo Prayer Mission International…
Living the Mission – Military Chaplains
“We are a mission; nothing more, nothing less.” As I think about gathering with you in Dallas next month, for the Live the Mission gathering, I can hear our founding bishop, Chuck Murphy, reminding me—reminding us—of who we are and what we do, capturing in just those eight words our identity and our calling together as the Anglican Mission in America.
Journey to Priesthood
On June 18, 2022, the Anglican Mission in America ordained and welcomed its newest priest, Tony+ Davis of Little Rock, Arkansas. A member of St. Andrew’s Church with a master’s degree in theology and active in personal evangelism and community ministry, Tony began to explore a call to the priesthood in 2018. Under the counsel and tutelage of Robert+ Cook, senior pastor of St. Andrew’s, Tony pursued this call. He was ordained a deacon in 2021, then a priest last…
Deeper Ministry Explored
How do we practice the presence of the Holy Spirit? When can we learn to experience and exercise his gifts? Who can demonstrate and train us in ministering to others in the power of the Holy Spirit? Where can we go to lean into deeper worship and supernatural healing? Deeper is a monthly Friday night service shared by three AMiA churches in Dallas to address those very questions. Clergy, members and guests from All Saints, St. Bartholomew’s and St. Patrick’s…
