Building Capacity

The ACO is committed to equipping the people of God for mission. Through capacity development, resource sharing, and networks, the ACO works to support Anglican ministry – from bishops and clergy to laity and theological educators.

Anglican Communion Networks

These communities bring together people who share a common passion for a specific area of mission, from environmental action to theological education. As voluntary, self-organising groups, they are essential for collaboration and relationship building across the worldwide Anglican family.
