The website of the Episcopal Church Archives is now easier to navigate and is mobile-friendly. The site offers digital versions of the Journals of General Convention, from the first in 1785 to the 78th in 2015.

Digital versions of Constitution and Canons are available, as approved in the years 2000 through 2015. Older versions of Constitution and Canons are being prepared for the website.

White and Dykman, the annotated version of Constitution and Canons, is available in these forms:

“The Resolves of Council are now current through 2016 with improved search functions,” Canonical Archivist and Director Mark J. Duffy wrote about the new website. “The Church Awakens has been updated, deepening the historical context with additional biographies and parishes, and incorporating knowledge and feedback shared with us by members of the community. Content has been added throughout the website in this major revision.”

Matthew Townsend is a Halifax-based freelance journalist and volunteer advocate for survivors of sexual misconduct in Anglican settings. He served as editor of the Anglican Journal from 2019 to 2021 and communications missioner for the Anglican Diocese of Quebec from 2019 to 2022. He and his wife recently entered catechism class in the Orthodox Church in America.
