Anglican Consultative Council to gather in Northern Ireland this summer

[Anglican Communion News Service] Gathering Anglicans from around the world, the 19th meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC-19) will take place in Belfast, Northern Ireland, from June 27 to July 5, 2026.

Themed ‘Called to One Hope’ from the letter to the Ephesians, this important international gathering of Anglican bishops, clergy and laity will explore how the church can share the reconciling love of Christ in a fragmented world.

Supported by the Anglican Communion Office and hosted by the Church of Ireland, ACC-19 will also be the first official Anglican Communion meeting attended by Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally.

Meeting every three years, the Anglican Consultative Council is one of four ‘Instruments of Communion,’ alongside the Lambeth Conference, Primates’ Meeting, and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Every member church is entitled to send two to three representatives, which include both clergy and lay people, as well as bishops. The last ACC met in Ghana in 2023.
