Anglican Catholic Church#Leadership

"Anglican Catholic Church" had previously been considered as a possible alternative name for the Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA, which is commonly called the "Episcopal Church".{{Cite news |last=Sutton |first=Dorthy |date=1961-08-13 |title=The Name of the Church |pages=13 |work=The Living Church |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7IXkAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22anglican+catholic+church%22+england&pg=RA8-PA28}}{{Cite news |date=1961-09-10 |title=Opinion Poll Results |pages=28 |work=The Living Church |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7IXkAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22anglican+catholic+church%22+england&pg=RA8-PA28}} What had provisionally been called the Anglican Church in North America (Episcopal) at the Congress of St. Louis was renamed the Anglican Catholic Church at the constitutional assembly in Denver, 18–21 October 1978.{{Cite journal |last=Armentrout |first=Don S. |date=1986 |title=Episcopal Splinter Groups: Schisms in the Episcopal Church, 1963-1985 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/42974143 |journal=Historical Magazine of the Protestant Episcopal Church |volume=55 |issue=4 |page=311 |issn=0018-2486 |jstor=42974143}} The name was registered with the US Patent Office in 1979.{{Cite web |title=THE ANGLICAN CATHOLIC CHURCH |url=https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_nj/0100080821 |access-date=2023-09-11 |website=opencorporates.com}}

According to the church, Anglican in this context simply means "English", while Catholic (meaning "universal") indicates that the church sees itself as part of the universal undivided church.{{Cite web |title=History {{!}} Anglican Catholic Church |url=https://www.anglicancatholic.org.uk/history/ |access-date=2022-07-19 |website=www.anglicancatholic.org.uk}}

The Congress of St. Louis was held in response to the Episcopal Church's revision of the Book of Common Prayer, which organizers felt abandoned a true commitment to both scripture and historical Anglicanism.{{Cite journal |last=Andrews |first=Robert M. |date=2022 |title=Continuing Anglicanism?

Its adherents have therefore claimed that this church is the true heir of the Church of England in the United States.

The congress's statement of principles (the "Affirmation of St. Louis") summarized the new church's reason for being as follows:

Questions over jurisdiction and authority caused the church to be eventually divided. The Canadian parishes formed the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada, and American parishes formed three separate bodies, the Anglican Catholic Church, the United Episcopal Church of North America and the Diocese of Christ the King. In 1981, the Anglican Catholic Church had 8 dioceses and a missionary district, each with their own bishop, with around 200 congregations in 38 states. The number of members was estimated to be between 10,000 and 20,000 persons.{{Cite book |last=Omwake |first=John |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KmDkAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22holyrood%20seminary%22&pg=PA8 |title=The Living Church |date=1981-07-05 |publisher=Morehouse-Gorham Company |pages=8–10 |language=en}} In 1983, a statement of unity led to the coalescence of the Anglican Catholic Church.{{Cite web|title=Episcopal News Service: Press Release # 83129|url=https://episcopalarchives.org/cgi-bin/ENS/ENSpress_release.pl?pr_number=83129|access-date=2021-12-09|website=episcopalarchives.org}} Those opposed to the newly organized church and the adoption of the Constitution and Canons that were drafted in 1978 in Dallas, left with Bishop Robert Harvey of the Diocese of the Southwest, among whom was Fr.

In 2008, Archbishop Mark Haverland published a response to the 2008 meeting of Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) in Jerusalem, which states "GAFCON produced a now widely published statement which does not address the innovations that led to the formation of our own Continuing Church in 1976-8: namely the "ordination of women," a new and radical Prayer Book, and a pro-abortion policy." The response concludes:

We call upon all self-described Anglicans to reject clearly and decisively all of the liturgical, moral, and theological errors of recent years, beginning with the ordination of women.  We call upon all self-described Anglicans to return to the central Tradition of Christendom and to recognize that evangelical and neo-Pentecostalist Protestantism is no safe haven.  We welcome GAFCON as a small step in the right direction.  But we confidently predict that the ambiguities and silences that characterize its statement will lead rapidly to fragmentation and confusion without any countervailing theological achievement.  The only issue addressed in a somewhat adequate fashion by GAFCON is homosexuality. Far more is at stake.{{Cite web |date=2009-12-02 |title=News & Announcements |url=http://www.anglicancatholic.org/gafcon.html |access-date=2021-12-08 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091202063056/http://www.anglicancatholic.org/gafcon.html |archive-date=2 December 2009 |url-status=dead}}

We call upon ACNA to heed our call to return to your classical Anglican roots.We commend to your prayerful attention the Affirmation of Saint Louis, which we firmly believe provides a sound basis for a renewed and fulfilled Anglicanism on our continent.

In 2009, Archbishop Mark Haverland published a response to Rome's announcement of the erection of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. The response states that it "does not mark in any respect an ecumenical advance" and that as it provides only for "relatively one-sided conversions of former Anglicans with minimal concessions, we fear that the Note and Constitution in fact will harm and retard genuine ecumenical progress" and concludes:

We hope eventually for a genuine dialogue concerning the Petrine Office and long for the day when we, with our Orthodox and Oriental Christian friends, may again find in the successor of Saint Peter a patriarch with the primacy of honor and with high authority both as an organ for strengthening the Church's unity and also as an instrument for the articulation of the Church's teaching.

We recognize in each other in all essentials the same faith; the same sacraments; the same moral teaching; and the same worship; likewise, we recognize in each other the same Holy Orders of bishops, priests, and deacons in the same Apostolic Succession, insofar as we all share the episcopate conveyed to the Continuing Churches in Denver in January 1978 in response to the call of the Congress of Saint Louis; therefore, We welcome members of all of our Churches to Holy Communion and parochial life in any and all of the congregations of our Churches; and, We pledge to pursue full, institutional, and organic union with each other, in a manner that respects tender consciences, builds consensus and harmony, and fulfills increasingly our Lord's will that His Church be united; and, We pledge also to seek unity with other Christians, including those who understand themselves to be Anglican, insofar as such unity is consistent with the essentials of Catholic faith, order, and moral teaching.{{Cite web|last=Anglican|date=2017-10-07|title=An Historic Concordat of Full Communion Comes to Fruition|url=https://anglicanprovince.org/2017/10/historic-concordat-full-communion-comes-fruition/|access-date=2021-12-07|website=Anglican Province of America|language=en-US}}

The polity of the ACC is episcopal and synodal. Regular synods are scheduled in the canons, with voting in joint sessions as well as separate sessions of the House of Clergy and House of Laity. The administration of each province and diocese includes appointed and elected officers, such as chancellor, treasurer, secretary, and judges of canonical courts, most of whom may be laity.

The Colleges of Bishops, under the presidency of the metropolitan, are in charge of the government and administration of the provinces of the Anglican Catholic Church. They are also responsible for the promulgation of official teaching and the instruction of the faithful. The colleges are composed of all bishops of the Provinces, active and retired, as well as any suffragans or coadjutors. The College of Bishops is responsible for overseeing administrative departments, each headed by a bishop and charged with a specific mission within the church. There are currently seven such departments in the Original Province.{{Cite web|title=Administration|url=http://anglicancatholic.org/administration/|access-date=2021-12-08|website=anglicancatholic.org|language=en}}

The ACC holds to seven sacraments, "The Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, Penance, and Unction of the Sick, [are] objective and effective signs of the continued presence and saving activity of Christ our Lord among His people and as His covenanted means for conveying His grace."{{Cite book|url=https://anglicancatholic.org/mt-content/uploads/2020/10/the-affirmation-of-st.-louis.pdf|title=Affirmation of St. Louis|pages=5}} Following the principles outlined in the Affirmation of St. Louis, the ACC holds to a high eucharistic theology, allowing reservation, adoration, Benediction, and Corpus Christi processions as "logical and godly extension of the facts of the objective and salvific Real Presence of Jesus Christ, God the Son, in and through his sacramental Body and Blood."{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2019-03-06 |title=Continuing Church and Eucharist Theology Explained |url=https://www.stmichaelsanglican.org/blog/continuing-church-and-eucharist-theology-explained/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210304150041/https://www.stmichaelsanglican.org/continuing-church-and-eucharist-theology-explained/ |archive-date=2021-03-04 |access-date=2022-07-17 |website=St. Michael’s |language=en-US}}

The celebration of the Eucharistic service is directed to be the norm for Sunday worship. The Constitution of the ACC further instructs that liturgical services may be celebrated from:

The Book of Common Prayer in its 1549 English, 1928 American, 1954 South African, and 1962 Canadian editions, and the 1963 edition of the Church of India, Pakistan, Burma, and Ceylon as well as The Supplement To The Book of Common Prayer (C.I.P.B.C.) of 1960 shall be the Standard of Public Worship of this Church, together with The Anglican Missal, The American Missal, The English Missal, and other missals and devotional manuals, based on and conforming to those editions of The Book of Common Prayer. The Book of Common Praise of 1938 (Canada), The Hymnal, 1940, and The English Hymnal (New Edition, 1933) should be the primary musical standard for Public Worship.{{Cite book|url=https://anglicancatholic.org/mt-content/uploads/2020/10/the-constitution-of-the-acc.pdf|title=Constitution of the Anglican Catholic Church|year=2015|pages=23}}

The ACC publishes an annual Ordo Calendar, which provides a standard for feasts, fasts, and general rubrics for liturgical services.{{Cite web|title=2022 Ordo Kalendar|url=https://anglican-parishes-association.myshopify.com/products/copy-of-2021-ordo-kalendar|access-date=2021-12-08|website=Anglican Parishes Association}} The Ordo Calendar generally follows pre-1969 traditions with Anglican adaptations and makes provision for local Anglican feasts.

In addition to the dogmatic theology expressed in the Affirmation of St. Louis, the ACC expressly follows classical Anglo-Catholic theology. The Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed (with the restoration of the word "Holy") and the Athanasian Creed are accepted as binding expressions of Christian dogma. The filioque is recognized as a later addition, open to non-orthodox interpretation, and an obstacle between the ACC and the Eastern Orthodox.{{Cite book |last=Haverland |first=Mark |title=Anglican Catholic Faith and Practice |publisher=Anglican Parishes Association |year=2011 |isbn=978-0977714803 |edition=3rd |location=Athens, GA |pages=142–145}} The Virgin Birth and the title of Theotokos as expressed at the Council of Ephesus are considered biblically founded dogmas. Other Marian beliefs, such as Perpetual Virginity, the New Eve, the Assumption, and the Immaculate Conception are considered to be widely held theological views consistent with the faith and are liturgically celebrated. The term "mediatrix of all graces" is rejected as novel and open to misinterpretation, though the intercession of Mary and the practice of Marian devotions is affirmed.{{Cite book |last=Haverland |first=Mark |title=Anglican Catholic Faith and Practice |publisher=Anglican Parishes Association |year=2011 |isbn=978-0977714803 |edition=3rd |location=Athens, GA |pages=63–68}} The prayers of the saints in heaven to assist the faithful on earth is affirmed, as well as the practice of requesting those prayers from the saints.{{Cite book |last=Haverland |first=Mark |title=Anglican Catholic Faith and Practice |publisher=Anglican Parishes Association |year=2011 |isbn=978-0977714803 |edition=3rd |location=Athens, GA |pages=164–165}} Purgatory as a particular state or place is considered speculative, though prayers for the dead are allowed as efficacious.{{Cite book |last=Haverland |first=Mark |title=Anglican Catholic Faith and Practice |publisher=Anglican Parishes Association |year=2011 |isbn=978-0977714803 |edition=3rd |location=Athens, GA |pages=162–163}} The Eucharist is understood as a sacrifice, re-presenting Christ's death, in which Christ is truly present and gives grace.{{Cite book |last=Haverland |first=Mark |title=Anglican Catholic Faith and Practice |publisher=Anglican Parishes Association |year=2011 |isbn=978-0977714803 |edition=3rd |location=Athens, GA |pages=78–79}} Good deeds are not considered to earn salvation, but are instead "a natural response to God's free and unelicited gift of grace to man in Christ."
