The Anglican Consultative Council (ACC-19) will meet in Belfast in 2026 under the theme 'Called to One Hope'. The event, hosted by the Church of Ireland and supported by the Anglican Communion Office, will be the first attended by the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Rev Sarah Mullally.

The ACC facilitates cooperative work among member churches in mission and unity. Meetings occur every three years as one of four Instruments of Communion, alongside the Lambeth Conference, Primates’ Meeting, and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Each member church sends three delegates, including bishops, clergy, and lay people. The previous meeting took place in Ghana in 2023.

The Belfast sessions will include Bible study, prayer, member church updates, and Global Conversations on discipleship, safe church, peace and reconciliation, migration, and the environment. Proposals from commissions will cover Vision 36, a church-planting initiative by the Anglican Communion Commission for Evangelism and Discipleship, and safeguarding standards from the Anglican Communion Safe Church Commission.

Delegates will undertake a day-long pilgrimage to historic sites in Northern Ireland, examining the Church’s ministry in peace and reconciliation. Opening and closing services will occur at St Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast.

Additional focus areas include Christian unity, Anglican identity, and Communion structures, addressed by the Inter-Anglican Standing Commission on Unity, Faith and Order. This includes consideration of the Nairobi-Cairo Proposals, commissioned in 2023, which suggest updating the Communion's description and broadening leadership to reflect current diversity.

Church of Ireland Primate Archbishop Rev John McDowell stated the event provides an opportunity for consultation, prayer, and fellowship. Archbishop of Canterbury Rev Sarah Mullally described the Communion as a profound gift in a fractured world.
