Is FiFNA a Church?

Submitted by Keith Acker on Wed, 2009-07-22 03:01

FiFNA is not a church. FiFNA is a missionary organization which spans many Church bodies and jurisdictions.Individuals and congregations recognize that not only has Jesus called us to fullfilll the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, but Jesus has called us to be one, not by compromise, but in his person, the reality of his presence. It is the fullness of Christ's body which compels us to be part of this mission to draw closer to our brothers and sisters in Christ, not compromising the full expression of Christian faith, but seeking to be One, Catholic and Apostolic.

FiFNA does have member jurisdictions and churches. The most recently added is the Missionary Diocese of All Saints, created by the Anglican Church in North America as a diocese-in-formation for parishes which are members of FiFNA.
