Huge church. Huge news also. Wonder what is going on behind the scenes. I’ve wondered with no information if Christ Church would follow Todd Hunter if he took C4SO independent. Evidently not.
I know for a fact that this has been in discernment and discussion, with the support of Bishop Todd, for years now. Just coming to fruition.
So, a new deanery with a vision for it to eventually transform into a new diocese.
That sounds great!
Interesting in that this has not been communicated to the congregation.
As you can see, it was the intention of the former rector David Roseberry to form an ACNA diocese in the Dallas area going back to October 7, 2010. From BabyBlue Online here:
“Our long term plan is to work with other Anglican churches in the Dallas area and build a Diocesan structure in the Dallas metroplex, but that will take a few years to realize. In the interim we will be linked to the oversight ministry of the Archbishop of the ACNA and the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Archbishop Robert Duncan. This Christ Church/ACNA/Diocese of Pittsburgh relationship will be a blessing for all of us. Already we are engaged in the important work of Anglican1000 (an initiative of the ACNA). I realize that for nearly all in our church this will be truly a transparent event. Nothing will change. Our mission and our ministry will go on as it has gone on for 25 years now. We will have plenty of occasions to meet and welcome Bishop Duncan here in the future. Our 6th grade class will love him when he comes for their Confirmation ceremony. He is a good man and a Godly bishop…and now he is our overseeing bishop. We are truly blessed. This link allows us to continue to build our work here in the North Dallas area.”
