A friend pointed this out to me today. It seems this has been floated around much in the last couple years, but I had no idea that any formal steps had taken place.

With approximately 100 congregations in the U.S., the Anglican Church in America (ACA) is among the largest of several “Continuing Churches” which emerged from the Affirmation of St. Louis and the 1977 gathering of former Episcopalians and other Anglicans.

This article provides actual numbers. Thank you for posting it!

Praised be the Lord! With the Anglican Use already in place, it ought to be a fairly smooth transition - at least it would seem so. If they do become Anglican Use Catholic churches, that would mean many, many more opportunities (geographically speaking) for Anglican Use worship. From just a handful to over 100 throughout the country! What a blessing that would be!

I read elsewhere that one issue of concern is that there are lots of married priests and bishops in this group.

We all knew this day would come. Let’s pray that a full and sacramental union can be effected soon!

Interesting changes.

I kind of get the impression from what I’ve read that there aren’t any HUGE Theological (if any) problems to be overcome it would seem to boil down to Administrative and a couple of issues regarding discipline.

I think a granting of a dispensation or two might be necessary as well.

The married Bishops thing is a problem as is Hepworth’s unusual status as a married ex-Catholic Priest.

Maybe Rome could select a Celibate Priest from among the ranks of the TAC and elevate him to the Episcopacy, kind of like what they did when all those SSPXrs came over in 1988.

All that said, it’s a very good starting point.
