Formation of the Anglican Communion Network
The Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses and Parishes—usually referred to as the Anglican Communion Network, or ACN—was officially launched on January 20, 2004, at the Network's Organizing Convocation held at Christ Church, Plano, Texas. It was organized as a network of "confessing" dioceses and congregations within ECUSA, and the first meeting included representatives from 12 Episcopal dioceses, as well as individuals from geographic regions and one nongeographic area that were designated as convocations.
