Diocese of the Rocky Mountains

Diocese of the Rocky Mountains Ancient Faith. Global Relationships. Local Mission. For generations, the United States sent missionaries to the far reaches of the globe.

Ironically, the United States is now home to the largest population of un-churched and spiritually disconnected English speaking people in the world (130 million). The American church has seen a steady stream of people leaving, often citing spiritual restlessness, apathy, or a sense that there must be “more.” There is still a deep hunger for meaning, significance and deeper questioning, but the ch

urch is no longer the place our culture turns to explore those questions. However, the global Christian story is very different from the American story. Christianity is experiencing a dynamic renewal and expansion in many other parts of the world, including Africa and Asia. America is now considered by many to be a mission field. In 2000, Through the courageous witness and leadership of Archbishops Emmanuel Kolini of Rwanda and Moses Tay of Southeast Asia, a church-planting movement was born to reach people in North America. Over the 16 years the Gospel was proclaimed, scores of new Anglican churches were planted, dozens of distressed churches were given a place of effective service, new bishops were consecrated to serve the expanding movement, and many new clergy were raised up for Christ’s church. The Anglican Church of Rwanda served throughout that time as a source of spiritual encouragement, guidance and inspiration for this growing movement. We have been shaped by their holistic missionary heart and through the remarkable work of reconciliation after the 1994 genocide. In 2015, recognizing the work of God in the forming of the Anglican Church in North America, the Anglican Church of Rwanda planned to released the American Churches into the Anglican Church of North America in June 0f 2016. This was a move to strengthen the work of the church in North America as well as to keep strong connection with Rwanda. In 2016 the diocese of the Rocky Mountains was formed as part of the Anglican Church in North America.

Looking for a Lent Devotional? Matthew 25 (a Ministry Partner of the ACNA) has this George MacDonald offering:

🕯️George MacDonald, a nineteenth-century Scottish professor, author, and mentor to C.S. Lewis 🦁 and J.R.R. Tolkien 🧙‍♂️, used stories of redemption and kindness to invite readers not just to see the poor but to also learn from them and love them — to become light-bearers themselves.

🕯️As our Good Shepherd, Jesus walks into dark and forgotten places — the alleys, prisons, fields, and sickbeds of the world — and brings light.

🕯️We invite you to join us on this voyage of repentance and reillumination: to rediscover that God’s mission is mercy and that we are bearers of His light in every dark corner of our own communities.

🕯️This Lenten Devotional is available to download now at the link in our bio.

Congratulations Heather Walker Peterson, Minister of Family and Students of Holy Trinity Anglican Church - Colorado Springs! See the comment for link to her essay.

She shares this story:

Celebrate with me!
I won a writing contest in my denomination, the Anglican Church of North America, answering a question about measuring spiritual growth. God did two beautiful things through this:
1. I got my writing voice back! It's the first thing I've not written in an institutional voice in a long time. I used my previous personal style.
2. I told my older daughter if I win this, "I'll use the money to send you to a forensic science camp so you can see if that's what you want to major in college." "Mom, that's such a long shot!" she said. Ha!
