ANC Charter Day

Friday October 9th will mark the 143rd anniversary of the signing of the Academy of the New Church Charter! We will have a scaled down Charter Day procession and Cathedral Service given by the Rt. Rev. Peter Buss, Jr. The procession will begin at 10:15 am. We welcome spectators to watch the procession however, please remember to wear a mask and to be socially distanced. The Cathedral Service will begin at 10:30am.... PLEASE NOTE: due to social distancing, we have limited Cathedral seating to be available for our students and faculty only. We are unable to offer community members seating inside. To live stream the Cathedral service visit: https://brynathynchurch.org/cathedral/live-services/ Happy Charter Day!

Dear Alumni and Friends, With the resurgence of the COVID-19 Pandemic and after receiving counsel from a number of constituents, the ANC Administration has made the decision to cancel Charter Day this year, as we have traditionally celebrated it. This includes class reunions which will be postponed a year and celebrated in 2021 when people are hopefully more comfortable traveling and participating in large group gatherings.... We plan to acknowledge the signing of the Academy Charter by live steaming the Charter Day Cathedral Service on the day it would have been held, Friday October 9th. We are also looking into other ways to virtually acknowledge our Charter, but these plans are still under discussion. With all of the uncertainty of this pandemic, we feel we need to make this announcement, now, so that our alumni can plan accordingly for next year. Please know we have made this difficult decision for the safety of our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members. We look forward to welcoming you back to our campuses in October 2021. In the meantime, we hope you and your family are staying safe.

From Thursday’s ANC Field Hockey game under the lights & the Reunion Artists exhibit, to the Student Scholarship Golf Outing on Monday, and everything in between, Charter Day 2019 was special. #charterday2019 https://youtu.be/2i4_APSbeps
