Community

"No man is an island, Entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main." - English poet and Church of England priest John Donne

Above all, the Anglican Communion is about community. In this section you will find some examples of ways Anglicans and Episcopalians around the world support and connect with one another in person and from a distance. There are also several ways to get involved yourself.

Interested in protecting the environment? Or the rights and traditions of indigenous peoples? Perhaps you are passionate about peace and justice? You will find like-minded people here.
