The church that PE and I attend is at odds with the ECUSA. They have joined what is known as the Anglican Communion. I am not sure that it is a church governing body or whether it is within the CoE. I think it is apart from both ECUSA and CoE, but I am not sure.

The ACC claims an Anglican Communion as well. That's the really confusing part isnt it? There seem to be so many that are varying shades of one degree or another, that to define their differences can be a real challenge. For RCCers it boils down to whether or not we give allegiance to the Pope, and so its easy with them, but among the Anglican traditions, the definitions can be a bit trickier. I was attracted to the ACC because I wanted a church that was not only adhering to original Apostolic tradition, but would at least stand on doctrine. I had been to a number of ECUSA churches where the membership reacted in horror when I asked them why they didnt keep to the more traditional aspects of their faith. The automatic reaction was "but we don't want to scare people off with dogma and doctrine." But how can we know what we stand for if there is no discussion of that???

Does your church have a website?
