The Anglican Church of Canada is the Canadian province of the Anglican Communion, self-governing since 1893. The denomination formally holds the Thirty-Nine Articles as a historical standard, ordains women in all three orders, and since 2019 permits same-sex marriage in a growing majority of its dioceses. Its membership has declined markedly over the past four decades. AskCredo places the Anglican Church of Canada in the C-tier as a mainline Anglican body whose public teaching and practice on marriage and ordination have departed from historic Christian sexual ethics; its orthodox minority largely realigned with the Anglican Network in Canada under the ACNA after 2008.
