South Hamilton, MA — The Northeast Network gathered on the campus of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary for their "Anglican Mission & Ministry Conference," April 25-27, 2007. Nearly 70 people were in attendance, including clergy and lay leaders from network churches, many lay people who were exploring the Anglican Mission for the first time, several students from the seminary, the Rev. Dr. Joe Murphy, Director of Credentialing and Deployment for AMiA, and leaders in the Anglican Communion Network. As well as spending time together in worship and prayer, participants were taught by the Rev. Dr. John H. Armstrong, founder and president of ACT 3 Ministries (www.act3online.org) on "Times of Refreshing" from Acts 3. The conference also offered workshops led by the clergy and staff of several churches in the network on the following topics: discipleship, the incarnation of wisdom, church planting, affiliation & credentialing in the AMiA, small groups, Anglican prayer, Rwandan sister church relationships, and music ministry.

The Rev. Lance Giuffrida from All Saints Anglican Church (Attleboro, MA) celebrated, and the Rt. Rev. Thad Barnum preached at the worship service on Thursday night during which the Rev. Mark Booker of the Church of the Resurrection (Washington, DC) was installed as the Northeast Network leader, as the Rev. Ken Ross of International Anglican Church (Colorado Springs, CO) wrapped up 18 months in this role. The Rev. Mark Rudolph was also commissioned for his work on behalf of the Northeast Network Executive Team in visiting and encouraging churches and fellowships throughout the northeast.

The Northeast Network is under the oversight of the Rt. Rev. Thad Barnum and includes churches and missions from Richmond, VA, to Portland, ME, as well as two churches in Colorado Springs, CO.
