Companions of the Center for Anglican Communion Studies

The Companions of the Center for Anglican Communion Studies is a membership society for individuals, parishes, dioceses, and institutions seeking to connect with our programs supporting a reconciling, intercultural Anglicanism.

There is no cost or expected donation to join the Companions. Our goals are increased engagement with our programs and a stronger connection with our friends.

The society is grounded in our three guiding approaches: equipping the international community, empowering intercultural leaders, and enriching Episcopal-Anglican identity.
