Anglican Church in North America

ACNA
B — Broadly orthodox

Overview

The Anglican Church in North America was organized in 2009 by congregations and dioceses leaving the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada over those bodies' repudiation of biblical sexual ethics and, in some wings, historic Christology. The ACNA holds the Thirty-Nine Articles as an Anglican historical standard, uses the 2019 BCP, and maintains biblical marriage and Christian sexual ethics. Women's ordination to the presbyterate is a diocesan-option matter and remains the ACNA's most significant internal disagreement. AskCredo places the ACNA in the B-tier as a broadly orthodox Anglican province and the primary Western expression of the GAFCON realignment.
