About Us

The Anglican Communion Youth Network (ACYN), launched in August 2022, is a platform which works to promote and support the ministry of young people and youth workers within the Anglican Communion. 

Churches within the Anglican Communion provinces are grouped into seven regions; Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, Middle East & South Asia and the Pacific.

Those serving in these regions are grouped into five mission committess which focus upon a specific Mark of Mission. These include:

  • First Mark of Mission - To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom - Focusing on evangelism
  • Second Mark of Mission - To teach, baptise and nurture new believers - Focusing on discipleship and capacity building (including Christian leadership formation), education and training.
  • Third Mark of Mission - To respond to human need by loving service - focus on outreach to the needy, community engagement, disaster preparedness and response and sustainable livelihoods.
  • Fourth Mark of Mission - To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation - Focusing on social justice issues and inclusivity. 
  • Fifth Mark of Mission - To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth - Focusing on the environmental care, sustainability and renewal.  

In addition, finance and communications/logistics committees exist to facilitate the work of the network.
