The Universal Anglican Church
The Most Rev. Dr. Craig Bergland Presiding Bishop
The UAC is best understood as a group of diverse ministries that have come together to form a new kind of Church. Most of the ministries are not parish ministries but include clergy and laity who serve as chaplains, retreat leaders, wedding celebrants, street ministers, ministers to the homeless, healing practitioners, spiritual teachers, preachers, spirituality group leaders, para church ministries, and (of course) parish priests and deacons. The UAC is structured according to the historic three fold ministry of bishop, priest, and deacon. They are bound together by a code of Canon Law, but each ministry has nearly total autonomy. The UAC partners with other organizations with a similar ethos through the Network of Independent, Inclusive American Churches and Congregations, or NIIAC (www.niiac.org). The UAC was formed in August, 2003.
Bishop Selders and ICLCM are proud and honored ministry partners with the UAC. We encourage you to check them out!
