"...our particular Anglican branch harkens back to 'original' liturgy."
FYI, that would be the Divine Liturgy of St. James the Brother of the Lord. It bears very little resemblance, if any, to the Tridentine Mass commonly so-called.
I don't happen to be in this jurisdiction, but the British Orthodox Church publishes a quarterly, The Glastonbury Review. In that publication, accessible on line ( http://www.britishorthodox.org/whatlike.php ), the Liturgy of St. James is described at some length. It is also mentioned in the canons of the Council in Trullo. As I understand from once having read the constitution and canons of the ACC, the ACC (unlike other denominations in the West), recognizes the authority of the Council in Trullo. Is that still true?

You are asking the wrong person. I am just a member, female, in fact, who has no real training in theological discussions. Rt. Rev. Bishop Haverland, who has written some of the pieces in the website, is the best person to discuss these things with.

All I know is : I have found a spiritual home. I got shubbed out of the RCC community that I had been involved with, and the ACC not only welcomed me, but pointed me in the direction of a right path to God through its 1928 BCP and deeply traditional practice.

God be with you!

I would offer a WARNING to anyone who reads anything produced by the "British Orthodox Church" to be aware that they are not in communion with the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople but are part of the Egyptian Coptic Church. I have much admiration for the perseverance of the Coptic Church in Egypt but the BOC sometimes comes off as THE Orthodox Church of Britain which is not the case. It is a tiny jurisdiction unrecognised by most Orthodox worldwide.
