Divided Anglicans See Hope for Transformation

As bleak as the situation may look for Anglicans divided over Scripture and traditional Anglicanism, a breakaway bishop says it's not the end of the story, particularly as they celebrate Easter.

The Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns, missionary bishop of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA), is leading a growing group of congregations that have split from and are discontent with The Episcopal Church's liberal direction. Some of those congregations from northern Virginia are currently entangled in a court battle with the national body over church property.

"As a Christian, I approach these [difficult] situations realizing that ... they are not the end of the story," Minns said days ahead of Easter Sunday.

During times when it seems like there's no hope, Minns said he sees opportunity for transformation.

"There's a God that I serve, there's a God who's able to take even the very worst circumstances and produce new life, new hope and new possibilities," he said.

In his Easter message released this past week, Minns compared the situation he and other conservative Anglicans are facing with the disciples when Jesus Christ died on the cross and was buried.
