As we reflect on the past year and look toward the future, we celebrate the many ways the Anglican Alliance has journeyed alongside churches across the Anglican Communion. We also look ahead with joy and expectation, trusting that the connections we forge in the coming year will continue to bring life, hope, and transformation.
Throughout 2025, the Anglican Alliance continued and strengthened its global mission of connecting, equipping and accompanying churches as they serve their communities in times of crisis and change:
- We supported churches on the frontlines of disasters – from earthquakes in Vanuatu and Myanmar to conflict in the DRC – while deepening resilience through regional training courses and partnerships across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific.
- Our Agents of Change programme expanded into new provinces, inspiring fresh approaches to leadership and community transformation.
- We championed safeguarding the integrity of creation through the flourishing Communion Forest and global advocacy leading up to COP30, with an emphasis on raising Indigenous voices.
- Alongside this, we resourced churches responding to migration and human trafficking, advanced gender justice, supported peacebuilding in fragile contexts, and nurtured young and emerging leaders across the Communion.
Through it all, the Anglican Alliance has kept neglected crises in sight, amplified local voices and fostered collaboration across the Communion to build hope, resilience and justice in a rapidly changing world.
Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to build on this momentum as we work alongside churches across the Communion. Some key focus areas of work for the year ahead include:
- Launching the reimagining power process, transforming unjust power structures, empowering marginalised communities and amplifying their voices to influence policy and action at local, national and global levels.
- Connecting and equipping churches as they seek to support people on the move, particularly those displaced and migrating in search of safety and stability.
- Championing gender equality globally, including advocacy at the UN Commission on the Status of Women in March, and equipping churches to advocate effectively for gender justice within their own contexts.
- Strengthening disaster resilience in every region of the Communion through regional steering groups and supporting churches as they respond when crises strike.
As we enter the new year, we do so with a phrase that encapsulates our hope and purpose: connected for joy. In the midst of widespread injustice and suffering, we seek to foster meaningful connections that support peace, restoration and shared flourishing. Across the Communion and beyond, as we work with churches, communities, agencies, and individuals, we continue to witness the profound joy that emerges when people come together in shared mission.
We look forward to continuing to work alongside our team, partners and supporters throughout the coming year. Please join us in praying for all those we work with and for all to come in the year ahead.
