Some 45 members of Anglican religious communities across North America participated in this month’s Annual General Meeting of the Conference of Anglican Religious Orders of the Americas (CAROA).The New Cosmology was the theme, with workshops facilitated by The Rev’d. Joanna Manning, Diocese of Toronto. This year the AGM was held at our Mother House, St. Augustine’s Monastery, at West Park, New York. And for the first time CAROA was joined at their annual meeting by the National Association of Episcopal Christian Communities (NAECC). Our Toronto house was represented by Br. David and Br. Reginald. Br. David was re-elected as CAROA’s Vice President.
