Anglican Fourth Day
THE ANGLICAN FOURTH DAY MOVEMENT is a worldwide movement of the Christian church, which seeks to bring environments to Christ through Christian communities in action. Anglican 4th Day is designed to make it possible to live in what is fundamental to being a Christian -to live in union with Christ and to share Christ with others.

The 4th Day Weekend
The three-day weekend provides a living experience -meeting Christ and meeting fellow Christians and sharing Christ with them. During three days-Thursday evening through Sunday evening-those attending live and work together, listening to and discussing talks given by the clergy and laity. During the three days, the teachings of Christ are discussed in a climate of joy. The talks and discussions are interspersed with prayer, Eucharist, songs, recreation, laughter and moments of reflection and silence.
The resulting Christian community is a group of men and women who live the Christian life, linked with Christ and supporting one another in their environment. This support is found in two post-Fourth Day activities. Individuals meet frequently in small groups with close friends for mutual sharing, encouragement and support. The larger Anglican 4th Day Community comes together in monthly “Ultreyas” meeting for worship, sharing and fellowship.
