    Don’t forget our Anglican brothers and sisters: the Company of Mission Priests (CMPs). Founded 1940. Website http://www.missionpriests.com There are around 50 Anglican priests in the Company. They also belong to Vincentians in Partnership here in Gt Britain. Also, the Anglican Sisters of Charity (1869).
