You don't get it! This "war" is about the Homosexual Agenda. George Washington, low church, would not have accepted "queers" as Bishops in his Church!

You are the one who does not seem to get it, so I repeat.
The Anglican Catholic Church is a breakaway from ECUSA and did not exist at the time of the fouding fathers. ECUSA is the national church in communion with Canterbury so they are the member chuch in America that is in THE Anglican Communion. The Anglican Catholic Church is a continuing church that came into being after the Congress of St. Louis in 1977. The Anglican Province of Christ the King came out of the same meeting.
Has ECUSA departed from the faith? I believe so but it didn't suddenly happen with the Robinson consecration. He is just the latest "battle". The "war" started long before Gene Robinson came on the scene. ECUSA started the drift away from orthodoxy years before he was consecrated and not enough spoke up to stop it. Now there is all this outrage about homosexuality, but where was the outrage 30-40 years ago over things like Bp Pike and women's ordination? They were milestones on the way to where ECUSA is today.
Are the ACC and the APCK orthodox? Yes! They uphold the historic Anglican faith, but they are NOT in communion with Canterbury so are not the official Anglican church in the USA.
At some point, there may be a realignment in the Communion. I am watching, waiting (and praying) to see where this all goes. I am thankful to have men of God like Abp Akinola of the Church of Nigeria standing for the faith within the Anglican Communion. Officially the Anglican Church in Nigeria as well as the national churches in many African nations, South America and the Far East who are in communion with Canterbury have declared themselves in impaired communion with ECUSA. Abp. Akinola has made friendly overtures to the Continuing Churches in the USA and in the future there may be some connection made between the Continuers and Bps like Akinola, but it has not happened yet.
I'm finished with this discussion because as I have said I think we are talking past each other.
