Service

ACNS is a service representing stories about the life of the Anglican Communion, run by the Anglican Communion Office (the official secretariat to the Anglican Communion). Primarily it exists to share stories about the work of the Anglican Communion Office, as well as enable Member Churches to share their life and work with one other (and also with the media). It is also a service through which the Instruments of Communion can communicate information (recommendations, resolutions, decisions, outcomes, etc.) to the rest of the Communion.

Reflecting Christ in the Communion

There is much to celebrate about our Anglican Communion at every level. ACNS’s primary role is to shine a light on Christ in the Communion, i.e. to highlight the best of Communion life and work and to celebrate our Bonds of Affection. This is not to ignore difficult issues, but rather the aim of ACNS is to provide members with a fuller, more complete picture of our worldwide family.

To this end, as our Anglican Communion is about so much more than simply financial support, ACNS also tries to avoid posting fundraising appeals unless there is a very strong news story behind it demonstrating the best of Communion life.

Avoiding harm and offence

We balance our duty to act as a communication channel of the whole Anglican Communion with our responsibility to protect the vulnerable from harm and avoid unjustifiable offence. While we endeavour to publish any relevant content sent by Member Churches, we reserve the right not to post anything that would put people at risk or that would reduce ACNS to a vehicle for maliciously criticising individuals, dioceses, Provinces or the Instruments of Communion.

Operational values

Translation

ACNS does not have the capacity to translate all articles in languages spoken by most members of the Anglican Communion: Spanish, French, Portuguese, Swahili, etc. Therefore ACNS is currently in English only. Where we are supplied with articles in other languages we will do our best to publish them.

Publication

The Anglican Communion News Service posts relevant material to the anglicannews.org as soon as possible.
