On Sunday, February 28, there was a major earthquake, centered near the second largest city in Chile, Concepcion, but causing significant damage as far as 500 kilometers north in Santiago.  Currently, the Anglican Relief and Development Fund is attempting to contact the Rt. Rev. Hector “Tito” Zavala, the Anglican bishop of Chile and is beginning to set aside donations for meeting needs in that country.  To donate, ARDF has placed a donation button here for donations for Chile relief and recovery. 

Anglicans in Chile are part of the Province of the Southern Cone.  Bishop Zavala has traveled extensively in North America and has been a consistent friend and supporter of the Anglican Church in North America.  More information about the Anglican Diocese of Chile is also available here.
