New CAC website now under-construction at www.Celtic-Church.com
Bishop David Bishop David has a ministry in one of the most dangerous regions of the world -- the Middle East. He is the only CAC bishop in that part of the world. For safety reasons, much of his personal information must be kept private. We are blessed to have Bishop David, a faithful shepherd, in the CAC. Please keep him and his ministry in your prayers. Email Bishop David Abp. Wrenn recently consecrated a new bishop in the CAC at a beautiful outdoor Autumn service at Enid Lake, MS. Because of this new bishop's high-risk ministry, he has requested that we not publish his name or email address on the internet. Suffice it to say that our newest bishop -- we'll call him "Bishop P" -- is our first bishop in the Rocky Mountain area, and we are delighted to have him in the CAC.
