Anglican Network in Europe reports growth to 121 congregations

An update attributed to Anglican Network in Europe diocesan data reports growth from 30 congregations at its December 2020 launch to 121 by September 2026.

Bishop Josep Rosselló's September 27 update calculates an increase of 91 congregations over roughly 69 months, averaging slightly more than one addition per month. It also reports six active bishops, more than 160 clergy, and over 6,000 annual attendances across 12 countries.

The account says four churches had launched during the preceding month and describes church planting as a principal recent focus. However, it explicitly cautions that the 121-congregation total combines new church plants with congregations that already existed before affiliating with the network.

The figures are attributed to official data from the network's dioceses and have not been independently audited. Growth in affiliated congregations is not the same measure as conversions, baptisms, or attendance growth.
