The Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome holds a unique role, representing Anglican interests to the Roman Catholic Church and serving as the Archbishop of Canterbury’s personal envoy to the Vatican.
At a time of deep global divisions, the need for unity among Christian churches has never been greater. The Anglican Centre continues to serve as a vital bridge, fostering dialogue, understanding, and cooperation between the Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church at a global level.
The appointment of a new Director brings renewed energy, visibility, and vision to the Centre’s mission, opening fresh opportunities to strengthen ecumenical relationships and advance shared Christian witness in a fractured world.
The inauguration of Bishop Anthony’s ministry, held alongside the new Archbishop’s first audience with Pope Leo, marked a hopeful and symbolic moment. Church leaders expressed optimism that the new leadership will deepen collaboration and inspire greater unity between the two traditions.
