Welcome
to the official website of the world-wide Anglican Communion, comprising over 80 million members in 44 regional and national member churches around the globe in over 160 countries.
We hope that you will visit our website often, not only for the latest news and information from our Anglican/Episcopal family of churches, but also to become familiar with the ministry, mission and work of the Instruments of Communion, served by the Anglican Communion Office in London.
Who We Are
The ministry of our global Anglican Communion can be best seen through the ongoing programmes of the various official networks as well as through the work of the "Instruments of Communion" as listed here. In these pages you will find the various offices and resources we share in the Communion and this will enable you to contact staff members responsible for the varying tasks and ministries.
