Information about Iglesia Anglicana Del Cono Sur De Las Americas

The Provincia Anglicana del Cono Sur de América (Spanish for: Anglican Province of the Southern Cone of America) is the ecclesiastical province of the Anglican Communion that covers the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.

The province currently has 27,000 members thinly spread across the nations of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, which makes it one of the smallest provinces in the Anglican Communion in terms of numbers, although one of the largest in geographical extent. It has seven bishops - about one bishop per 4,000 people. However, it has augmented its membership by recruiting conservative American parishes who wish to opt out of their national church whilst retaining a link with the Anglican Communion. This has caused tensions within the Anglican Communion.

History

During the 19th century, immigrants to South America brought Anglicanism with them. The South American Missionary Society (SAMS) was formed to develop Anglican mission throughout South America, and it still has an important place in the life of the church. As the church and its mission grew, missionary bishops were appointed and dioceses were formed. Until 1974, these missionary dioceses were under the metropolitical oversight of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

In 1981, the dioceses came together to form the province of Cono Sur. Originally, there were six diocese in the province, one for every sovereign country covered by the province, but the Diocese of Northern Argentina was soon formed out of the larger Diocese of Argentina. The province retains and celebrates its mission-focused, evangelical and charismatic roots.

The province consists of seven dioceses under the authority of a Presiding Bishop, currently the British-born Most Reverend Gregory James Venables, who represents the province to the rest of the Anglican Communion as its primate.

Presiding Bishop Venables has been outspoken in support of a conservative position on homosexuality and other issues. Under his leadership, the province refused to participate in the listening process mandated by Lambeth Conference resolution 1.10, stating that it was "small with few resources and does not have time". It indicated concern for conservative heterosexuals, whom it described as "members of the Communion who have been pastorally abused by those who foist a sexual political agenda upon them." [1],
