Texarkana Chapter
|
The Brotherhood achieves its
ministry through
Prayer, Study and Service. For
the past
number of years, the emphasis has been on Service as we planned,
fundraised,
and completed the Recreation Center
at St James Day School.
As
we begin a new year, we hope to balance our continued Service with a
renewed
emphasis on Prayer and Study.

The Brotherhood
of St. Andrew is a
missionary and evangelism ministry of the Episcopal Church and Anglican
Communion. In fact, it is the oldest evangelistic ministry of the
Episcopal Church. Our goal is to bring men and boys to Jesus Christ.
We believe, Salvation can be
found only by a
public acceptance of Jesus as the Son of God, risen from the dead and
Lord in your life; The authority of the Holy Scriptures; The power of
the Holy Spirit; and the fellowship of believers.
The
Brotherhood of St. Andrew is an international ministry of men within
the Anglican Communion dedicated to bringing men and boys to Jesus
Christ. Its corporate offices are in Ambridge, Pennsylvania.
The Brotherhood was
incorporated by an
Act of the U.S. Congress signed on May 30, 1908 by President Theodore
Roosevelt. The act stated, "the sole object of said corporation shall
be the spread of Christ's Kingdom among men."
Members
are called Brothers Andrew and are required to accept and observe the
Brotherhood disciplines of Prayer, Study and Service. Brotherhood
chapters usually meet once or twice per month in Episcopal and Anglican
churches. A portion of each meeting is devoted to each of the
disciplines of Prayer, Study and Service.
Any baptized
Christian man may be a
member of The Brotherhood of St. Andrew. However, only men who are
confirmed in an Anglican or Episcopal church or a church in communion
with the Anglican or Episcopal Church may become a chapter, regional or
national officer in the Brotherhood.
