The ties that bind our Anglican Communion family

From Anglican News-

The Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, Dr Josiah Idowu-Fearon, reflects on how membership of the Communion is defined.

There is much about our Anglican Communion which makes us unique. We are an extraordinary international family, bound together by faith in Jesus Christ and by our rich tradition.

The See of Canterbury is one of the unique features which binds us together. At the Primates’ Meeting in October it was clear just how much Canterbury meant to those who came. For Anglicans, communion with the See of Canterbury – and with its Archbishop – is the visible expression of our communion with one another.

In his advent letter to GAFCON, the Primate of Nigeria says: “the Jerusalem Statement and Declaration clarified that the Anglican Communion is not determined simply by relationship with the Archbishop of Canterbury”.

Which nonprofits in San Diego could lose tax-exempt status?

From San Diego-

Thousands of small, nonprofit organizations in San Diego County could lose their tax-exempt status because they haven't complied with new IRS rules.

But instead of automatically revoking their tax-exempt status, the IRS is giving those organizations until Oct. 15 to catch up under a one-time grace period.

An IRS list released Tuesday shows thousands of local organizations in jeopardy - including 1,280 in the city of San Diego alone - because they did not file tax returns for the past three years. They include the Africa AIDS Fund, the Centro Cultural Hispano, Dachsund Rescue of San Diego, the Polish-American Association of San Diego, the American Anglican Council of San Diego, the Community Actors Theatre and several American Legion Auxiliary groups. The list includes fraternal societies, faith-based organizations and veterans' groups; nonprofits that focus on culture and the arts; and special interests including blackjack and lawn bowling.
