The Most Reverend Robert Duncan
Archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America
Robert William Duncan was installed as Primate on June 24 2009 at the inaugural assembly of the Anglican Church of North America held in Bedford, Texas. He is also Bishop of Diocese of Pittsburgh.
Duncan was ordained a deacon in 1972 and a priest later that year. He served a number of parishes, including the Chapel of the Intercession in New York City, Christ Church in Edinburgh, Scotland, Grace Church in Merchantville, N.J., and Saint Thomas's Parish in Newark, Delaware. He also served as assistant dean of General Seminary, and as Episcopal chaplain of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1995, he was elected bishop coadjutor of the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
He has devoted himself to mission and evangelism throughout his ministry, with a special passion for reaching adolescents and young adults. He has also led short-term missions to Haiti, Rwanda and Trinidad. He is a champion of the poor and dispossessed of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, encouraging creative urban church-planting. Duncan served on the Programme Committee of the Network for Anglicans in Mission and Evangelism, an agency created at the 1998 Lambeth Conference. In 2004, he was a driving force in the creation of the Anglican Relief and Development Fund, a multi-million dollar enterprise for which he continues to serve as president.
In recent years, “Bishop Bob” has served as moderator of the Anglican Communion Network and the Common Cause Partnership. At the request of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, Bishop Duncan attended the 2007 Primates Meeting in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, to speak on behalf of orthodox Anglicans in the United States. In December 2007, he was elected moderator of the Common Cause Partnership which formed the Anglican Church in North America’s.
