Who we are
The Anglican Alliance is mandated to bring together development, relief and advocacy work across the Anglican Communion. It connects with churches and agencies right across the Anglican Communion.
The Anglican Alliance was born of the 2008 Lambeth Conference and is an initiative of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Anglican Communion. The Alliance belongs to everyone in the worldwide Anglican family committed to working for a world free of poverty and injustice.
Our work is grounded in the Anglican Five Marks of Mission, which include responding to human need and caring for the most vulnerable, challenging and changing the unjust structures of the world, and sustaining and renewing the life of the earth. This holistic engagement with the world reflects Jesus’ mission to bring good news to the poor, release for the oppressed and fullness of life to all (Luke 4:18; John 10:10), and humanity’s role to “tend and keep” the earth (Genesis 2:15).

“One of the most exciting things about the Anglican Communion is this extraordinary network of local churches in every part of the world. When they come together as God’s people, somehow the Holy Spirit liberates ideas, initiatives, capacity that did not exist before. The Anglican Alliance is exciting because it turns those local experiences, developments of knowledge and expertise into skills that are shared and can be learned from across the whole Communion…. The Alliance reflects the gospel priority of a bias for the poor.”
