Bishop Thad Barnum knows this history well, and he can connect it to his own journey. He met his wife Erilynne over 25 years ago through their work with St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Darien, Connecticut, a congregation known around the world for its Rector, the Rev. Terry Fullam, and the work that God was doing in their midst. Thad attended nearby Yale Divinity School and ministered in the region. His family tree includes the noted showman P.T.

1. The Proclamation of the Faith

If this is so, it is clear that I am referring to that movement within the Church of England, beginning in the eighteenth century which took its shape from the Reformation, the Puritans and the Pietists, and gave itself especially, but not exclusively, to the task of evangelism. In one sense, its founding Father and great saint is Thomas Cranmer.

The paper "Towards an Anglican Covenant" is therefore available on this site, and Provinces, Anglican Communion commissions and networks, theological institutions and all who are interested are invited to respond to the questions set out in the paper in preparation for the work of the Task Group.
