History
Fulcrum was conceived by Francis Bridger and others in response to strong and extreme responses from some evangelical quarters of the Church of England to the appointment of Rowan Williams as Archbishop of Canterbury. In 2003 the first official meeting of Fulcrum took place and the appointments of Chair, vice-chairs, administrator and theological advisor were made.
The equivalent organization in the Episcopal Church of the USA is Covenant, an organization which aims to renew the centre of the Christian tradition in North America and particularly within Anglicanism.
