In 2019, AFFIRM launched ACM, the Anglican Community of St Mark. ACM has developed and grown led by the Rev. Fraser McDermott, the vicar of St Margaret’s Hillsborough in Auckland. ACM is positive and far reaching in its goals with similar aims to those of AFFIRM. It has gone from strength to strength with 1300 individual members and nine member parishes.
The board of AFFIRM has recognised that the work with parishes and individuals is more properly the focus of ACM. As a result, we have decided that there is no need to have two agencies with the same goals; therefore, we invite all AFFIRM members to join the Anglican Community of St Mark (ACM).
The Affiliates, named above, will continue to relate in informal meetings without the need for a charitable structure, so the AFFIRM Council resolved to dissolve the AFFIRM Trust effective 31st March 2026.
To acknowledge the good work of AFFIRM since 1993, a special celebration will be held in Christchurch on 13 March, during the ACM Leaders Day: ’Refreshing Leaders’. Supporters are warmly invited to attend this event.
To learn more about joining ACM, please visit their website https://acm.net.nz/join-us/ or contact the Rev Paul Williamson ([email protected], 021 1267 8563) who is ACM Community Coordinator.
The AFFIRM Council is proud of the way ACM has developed and we look forward to its future with delight.
