Anglican realignment
The Anglican Church of the Congo is a member of the Global South and the Global Anglican Future
Conference, and is involved at the Anglican realignment. In June 2012, Archbishop Henri Isingoma
attended the Provincial Assembly of the Anglican Church in North America, in Ridgecrest, North Carolina,
to show is full support for the new province in creation of the Anglican Communion.[7] While involved in
the Anglican realignment, the Anglican Church of the Congo has also shared ministry partnerships and
continued to share communion with The Episcopal Church, based in the US.[8][9] Additionally, the
Anglican Church of the Congo, in 2015, reaffirmed its membership in the Anglican Communion, including
with The Episcopal Church.[10]
On April 29, 2012, Henri Isingoma expressed his official approval for the temporary admission of the
Anglican Mission in the Americas, a former missionary organization of the Anglican Church of Rwanda, at
the Anglican Church of Congo until his future was clarified.[11] After that period, Isingoma stated that the
Anglican Church of the Congo would work with the AMiA exclusively as a Missionary Society.[12]
Archbishop Isingoma attended GAFCON II, which took place in Nairobi, Kenya, from 21 to 26 October
2013.[13] The province was represented at GAFCON III, held in Jerusalem, on 17–22 June 2018, by a 34
members delegation.[14]
