Dear Friends,
St. Luke's Church is a mission of the Anglican Mission in the Americas
(AMiA) which is the missionary outreach to North America of the Anglican
Church of Rwanda. You can learn more about AMiA at www.theamia.org.
AMiA is part of the newly formed Anglican Church of North America
(ACNA) www.anglicanchurch-na.org. The ACNA is in the process of becoming
the 39th province of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Anglican Communion
churches are those historically connected with the Church of England.
I am a transitional deacon. A transitional deacon is an ordained
clergyperson who is a candidate for ordination as a priest. A deacon
is authorized by the bishop and sent forth by a parish to preach,
teach, serve, baptize and administer Holy Communion using the Reserved
Sacrament. The Reserved Sacrament is the elements of bread and wine
previously consecrated by a priest as the Body and Blood of Christ.
I am a "vicar." A “vicar” is a representative of a rector
or bishop in charge of a mission.
St. Luke's is a "church plant." A “church plant” is
a new congregation just getting started. We are an outreach of Anglican
Church of the Resurrection (www.amia-wyoming.org)
in Casper. Fr. Thomas B. Johnson is our rector. Our bishop is Alexander
Greene (everyone calls him Sandy) from Denver, Colorado. Sandy is
a member of the House of Bishops of the Anglican Church of Rwanda.
Emmanual Kolini is our archbishop. The Anglican Church of Rwanda
is part of the Anglican Communion of which Rowan Williams, Archbishop
of Canterbury is the titular head. Our archbishop in North America
is Robert Duncan.
All offerings to St. Luke's go to the Church of the Resurrection
in Casper and are dispersed solely for the expenses of St. Luke's.
I am a "tent maker." That is, I work at my regular profession
as a doctor of chiropractic and receive no compensation for my work
in the mission. However, I am reimbursed for church expenses.
There is much more to learn about St. Luke’s on this website.
You can contact me at 307-272-6325, at info@stlukescody.com or at my clinic at 832 19th St., Cody, WY

Yours in Christ,
Dwayne S. Borgstrand, Vicar
