AOGIA Resources

The AOGIA exists to be a resource to biblically faithful Anglican provinces, dioceses, parishes, missions, affiliated ministries, clergy, and laity. Below are some of the resources that the AOGIA has developed. This page will be continually updated so check back often. 

  • The AOGIA team is uniquely equipped with scholars, theologians, professors, and experts in a range of topics who are continually curating relevant educational resources to equip Anglicans to be an effective public witness for Jesus Christ. From Civic Engagement Training for Clergy to articles on social ethics topics from a biblically informed Anglican perspective; the AOGIA seeks to equip leaders with the tools they need to lead in the challenging world we face today. 

  • The AOGIA actively protects  Anglican communities domestically by providing legislative education on key issues that are important to our constituency. Internationally, the AOGIA communicates with international NGOs, embassies, and the United Nations to advocate for the rights and freedoms of Anglicans around the world. 

  • When Anglican organizations face a crisis or legal issue, the AOGIA's general counsel is mobilized to assist and provide invaluable support and consultation. From legal consultations to connecting with third-party legal service providers, the AOGIA's team has decades of varied legal experience. 

Anglican Prayer Resources

Anglicans have a strong tradition of liturgical prayer. The following prayers are a collection of prayers, called collects. These prayers are taken from the Anglican Church in North America's 2019 Book of Common Prayer (BCP). There prayers provide a useful resource and are a great reminder to pray daily for our nation and our leaders.

  • A Prayer for our nation

    Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure conduct. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom, in thy Name, we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

  • A PRAYER FOR THE PRESIDENT AND ALL IN CIVIL AUTHORITY

Grant to the President of this Nation, the Governor of this State [or Commonwealth], and to all in authority, wisdom and strength to know and to do your will. Fill them with the love of truth and righteousness, and make them continually mindful of their calling to serve this people in reverent obedience to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.  Amen.
