The Orthodox Anglican Society of
St. Francis
The Orthodox Anglican Society of St. Francis is composed of Christians who attempt to live according to the precepts of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, following the example and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi. Membership in the Society is open to any baptized Christian, whether lay or ordained, male or female, married or unmarried. The Society is a recognized Religious Order of the Orthodox Anglican Communion.The Three Aims of the Orthodox Anglican Society of St. Francis (ASF) are:
To make our Lord known and loved everywhere by word and example, Brothers and Sisters witness to Christ in their daily lives. By prayer and sacrifice they help forward God’s work, wherever they are called.
To spread the spirit of fellowship by working happily with people regardless of race, color, creed, education and opportunity, Brothers and Sisters seek to break down the divisions in the world. They try to live in the spirit of St Francis’ prayer: “Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.”
To live simply acknowledging that everything belongs to God, Brothers and Sisters seek to use Gods gifts wisely acting as good stewards of this fragile earth, never destroying or wasting what God has made. They provide the things necessary for themselves and their families without demanding luxuries. They seek never to forget the needs of others (quoted from the Rule of the Society).
