[Note to the Traditional Anglican Ping List: Listmember Deacon Paul mentioned this article to me earlier. At my urging he typed it up and sent me a copy. I did a subsequent search and found an online copy with additional material (but without the photo). I have posted it under the rubric that published news of listmembers' churches is most always likely to be of interest to the list.

(Disclosure: Deacon Kelly and I are both in the APCK.)

There is an error in this story I must correct: the APCK is not a member of the world-wide Anglican Communion. It is not in communion with ECUSA, for example, though I am told it is engaged in discussions with other groups. --sionnsar]

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar and newheart.

It IS in communion with The Original Province of the Anglican Catholic Church.

A group of Episcopal laity and clergy gathered in St. Louis, Mo., in 1977 and issued a statement of faith, known as the Affirmation of St. Louis. Its guiding principals are found in the King James Bible, 1928 Book of Common Prayer and teachings of the early church fathers.

The Affirmation of St. Louis is what generated the OPACC.

sionnsar, thanks for this. Interesting. So, quoting article regarding the APCK:

'"We do not require people to believe in the doctrine of the immaculate conception of Mary (the mother of Jesus) or the infallibility of the pope, but some members do," he said. "I read the papal encyclicals because they are the work of very godly men."'

Sounds like a good place to consider for folks fleeing ECUSA in Sanford, NC.

"Some people are happy moving forward with a progressive Episcopal Church," he said. "We provide a haven for those who are not. Our relationship is complementary, not competitive."
