Our History
SOMA International was launched in 1979 as a result of the renewal conference held in conjunction with the 1978 Lambeth Conference. Participants from over forty countries celebrated SOMA’s silver anniversary with a jubilee conference in Canterbury in July 2004.
SOMA USA was established in 1985 to expand SOMA’s ministry sending short-term missions to Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Since 1995 it has also been bringing teams from abroad to minister to the Church in the USA.
