ANGLICANS
The Anglican Mission in America has recently completed a major remake of their website. Looks good.

The AMiA is the most recent splinter group to spin off the inert Episcopal Church USA. They have actually remained within the Worldwide Anglican communion by coming under the umbrella of bishops in Hong Kong and Singapore. These bishops, like most Anglicans/Episcopalians in the world are Evangelical (exceptions being in the US, Canada, UK, and a few places down-under.).

It will be interesting to see if the AMiA can focus their energy and resources so that they emerge as a mission-driven powerhouse rather than just another Anglican knock-off group whining about how liberal the ECUSA has become. From the looks of some of the local church websites there is hope (Although the AMiA website people haven't yet figured out that the national body needs to put their primary energy into strengthening the local churches. There is not even a local church link on the front page of their site!!! In time, I suppose. They have already come a long way.).

The life isn't completely gone from the old mother church. There are a few pockets of vitality and forward thinking in the ECUSA. One of the best places to catch up with the biblically progressive element is on Richard Kew's site.
