What is a chapter?
The primary method by which the Brotherhood implements its ministry to men is through the establishing of a Chapter within individual Anglican and Episcopal churches. Upon application to the Central Office and with the approval of the parish Rector, Vicar, or in the case of a prison or Armed Forces installation, the Bishop of the diocese, a charter may be issued to the applicants. The Chapter needs to have at least six (6) men to begin an effective ministry, although in small parishes as few as three men can be granted a charter with the approval by the Brotherhood’s President. Chapter members are called Brothers Andrew and are required to accept and observe the Brotherhood Disciplines of: PRAYER, STUDY AND SERVICE.
