Unique, connecting, ‘bottom-up’ – Alliance highlights in 2015

08 January 2016

Four years on, the Anglican Alliance continues to grow and develop as it supports the Anglican Communion to live out the Gospel in word and action, learning from the wisdom and experience of the Anglican family of churches and agencies.
