Anglican Legal Society
Contemporary Issues in Canon Law
Thursday, October 15
12:00 pm – 5:00 pm ET

If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, and He has led you to serve as an attorney or chancellor among Anglicans in North America, or if you simply have an interest in canon law, this track is for you! This annual gathering of the Anglican Legal Society (ALS) aims to build a network of biblically-faithful attorneys to serve the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) and its congregations, facilitate communication between members, share best practices, and develop strategies for protecting our religious freedoms at every level of the Church.

Participants are encouraged to “bring” their lunch to the introductory breakout sessions with like-minded attorneys on Zoom. Other sessions will include panel presentations on Title IV Ecclesiastical Discipline, the implications of the ABA Model Rule 8.4(g) for Christian attorneys, and presentations on selected papers in canon law.

(All who wish to attend this event must register with the ALS. CLS will forward those names who register for the CLS National Conference and indicate they will attend this event, but all interested parties must register directly with them.)
