 I have accepted with delight the invitation to become President of Affirming Catholicism because I believe passionately in both the comprehensiveness of the Anglican Communion, with every strand of  tradition vibrant and focused on the Gospel, and, among those strands, in the generous catholic tradition that has nurtured me and which I believe has much to offer at the present time.The Rt Revd Michael Perham, Bishop of Gloucester

Do you yearn for a spiritual depth to your life which connects the realities of everyday living with the wisdom of the ages? Do you sense that reading the Bible like a rule book diminishes the mystery of God’s revelation? Do you feel that the love of God is more generous and radical than the Church appears to be? We share your instincts. We are a movement of inspiration and hope in the Anglican Communion, seeking to bring together and strengthen lay and ordained people who recognise the positive, inclusive and joyful currents in the Catholic tradition of Christianity. We are working to make the Catholic element within Anglicanism a positive force for the Gospel and a model for effective mission today.As reformed and reforming Catholics, we seek to renew the universal Church by including those with different perspectives and bearing witness in the world to Christ’s healing and reconciling love.
