The Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) is a missionary body of the Church of Nigeria and a dual jurisdiction of the Anglican Church in North America. Founded in 2005, it is composed primarily of churches that have disaffiliated from the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (ECUSA). CANA was initially a missionary initiative of the Anglican Church of Nigeria for Nigerians living in the United States. It joined several other church bodies in the formation of the Anglican Church in North America in 2009. In 2012, it launched his first offshoot diocese in the United States, the Missionary Diocese of the Trinity, a dual jurisdiction of the Church of Nigeria and ACNA. ==Leadership== In June 2006, Martyn Minns, then the rector of Truro Church in Fairfax, Virginia, was elected by the Anglican Church of Nigeria as the missionary bishop for CANA. Minns was consecrated in Abuja, Nigeria, in August 2006 and installed as missionary bishop in May 2007. He retired in January 2014 and was succeeded as missionary bishop by Julian Dobbs, who is also the diocesan bishop of the Missionary Diocese of CANA East. As of March 2015, CANA has an additional six bishops serving in various sub-jurisdictions or other ministries: * Roger Ames (now Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes (ACNA)) * David Anderson (President of the American Anglican Council) * David Bena (retired Suffragan Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany, now assisting in CANA East). * Amos Fagbimiye (Bishop of the Missionary Diocese of the Trinity) * Derek Jones (Bishop of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy (ACNA)) * Felix Orji (Bishop of the Missionary Diocese of CANA West) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Convocation of Anglicans in North America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
