Hundreds of conservative ex-Episcopalian parishes form new Anglican body
June 23, 2009
Hundreds of conservative parishes formerly associated with the Episcopal Church are forming the Anglican Church in North America. The new denomination seeks “to ensure an orthodox Anglican Province in North America that remains connected to a faithful global Communion.” The church professes adherence to Sacred Scripture, the first four ecumenical councils, parts of the fifth, sixth, and seventh ecumenical councils, the Thirty-Nine Articles “in their literal and grammatical sense,” and the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.
