Building the Anglican Center along the El Camino is something
my Bishop feels incredibly passionate about.
Don Carlos, whom many of you had the pleasure of meeting in April at
Trinity Wall Street, returned brimming with hope for this global project that
will cost 5 million dollars. We are
grateful to Reverend Bill Lupfer, Lisa Freedman and Reverend Phil Jackson for
their support.
What we did: We convened on the 4th of April at Trinity,
twenty five members strong, to have our initial meeting to explore the
viability of building an Anglican Center in Santiago. The message seemed clear. We need one!
Why? Currently there are more
Protestants on the Camino than Catholics.
However, Spain, being one of the most Catholic countries on earth, there
has never been a place for Protestant pilgrims to receive Eucharist when they
finish the Camino. Furthermore, there
are Anglican centers in Jerusalem and Rome, but none in third most holy site on
earth: Santiago.
Sincerely,
Rvdo. Spencer Reece, National Secretary for the
Bishop of Spain, Don Carlos Lopez-Lozáno
