The Anglican Communion Office (ACO) has today launched its online shop where 
visitors can buy books, CDs and other products that support and reflect the 
work of the Instruments of Communion.

Resources include theological reports and Bible studies; ecumenical agreements, 
statements and reports; publications looking at the Anglican understanding of 
issues such as Mission and Evangelism; and books and CDs on the principles and 
practices of worldwide Anglicanism.

Secretary General Kenneth Kearon said this latest step would allow many more 
Anglicans to better access, understand and engage with the workings of the 
Instruments of Communion.

?Publications are produced after most major Communion meetings,? he said, ?and 
this online shop provides a much easier way for Anglicans right around the 
world to get hold of them.

?Our staff also collaborate with partners to produce other resources that we 
hope will also enrich the life of the Communion worldwide. All of these will, 
in time, be available from our website.? Visitors can shop online at 
www.anglicancommunion.org.

The launch comes on the same day that the ACO?s Twitter account goes live. Not 
only can people sign up to receive news from its Anglican Communion News 
Service, but they can also receive the latest updates from across the Anglican 
Communion at http://twitter.com/ACOffice.

Followers will receive tweets about the latest developments of the Instruments 
of Communion, news from across the Anglican Communion, and a daily tweet from 
the Anglican Cycle of Prayer.
