History[]
The Churches for the Sake of Others became a church planting initiative of the Anglican Mission in the Americas in the West coast, in 2008, led by Bishop Todd Hunter, when AMiA was the missionary body of the Province of the Anglican Church of Rwanda in the United States, which it was until December 2011. After AMIA's withdrawal from the Anglican Church of Rwanda, Todd Hunter sought affiliation with ACNA. The Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others was approved as a diocese-in-formation of ACNA in June 2012 and as a full member diocese at the Provincial Council held in June 2013. The investiture of Todd Hunter took place at the opening worship of ACNA's College of Bishops, at 6 January 2014.[1]
The main purpose of the diocese is church planting. Its five key values are Kingdom, Spirit, Formation, Mission and Sacrament. C4SO is organized into five deaneries, Northern California, Southern California, Southeast, Midwest and Texas. The diocese actively collaborates on church plants with other diocesan bishops.
