What do we do?
Across the globe, many Anglican Churches, Dioceses, Provinces and faith-based networks are quietly leading vital health programmes, community mobilisation initiatives, advocacy programmes, clinics and hospitals.
Often, they are operating in conflicts zones, very challenging situations and on the margins of society. Therefore we, at the Anglican health & community network, are a platform to:
- Gather these Anglican voices of health so together we can be a global voice
- Highlight their
work as it is often largely unnoticed and...
- Advocate for more health-promoting churches
- Strengthen and equip health programmes, clinics and faith-based networks and individuals in their work
The AHCN has origins back to 2009 but has existed in its current
format since 2021. It has a group of 3 co-covenors, 2 co-ordinators and a larger steering group.
It is global volunteer network of individuals all focussed on ‘connecting, preparing and equipping Anglicans to provide health care, accompany the sick and advocate for equitable health-care based on both trust in science and hope in God.’
