American Anglican Council Supports Bishop Duncan
The American Anglican Council (AAC) stands in full support of The Rt. Rev. Bob Duncan. Bishop Duncan, in spite of the Episcopal Church’s (TEC) attempt to depose him for “abandonment of communion,” is a bishop in good standing in the Anglican Communion as a member of the House of Bishops of the Province of the Southern Cone and as the moderator of the Common Cause Partnership.
“The illegal and unjust deposition of the Bishop of Pittsburgh was one more cut, one more tear, and one more declaration of independence by TEC from the rest of the Anglican Communion,” said the Rt. Rev. David C. Anderson, president and CEO of the AAC.
Bishop Duncan has earned a place on the AAC’s “wall of honor” along with more than 100 clergy who have been deposed by TEC for upholding the historic Christian faith.
“We continue to support and encourage Bishop Duncan’s leadership of the effort to establish a separate North American province for biblically orthodox Anglican Christians,” Anderson added.
