Not in the Communion
Anglican Church International: The ACI is a radically inclusive denomination.
Our creator calls every person to turn to God's embrace; to find safety, love, and support and in freedom to respond to the call of a
loving God. We affirm a theology that is life giving and enhancing, rather than one that is shaming, stifling, or repressive. [AO note:
