Anglican Catholic Church

The Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), also known as the Anglican Catholic Church (Original Province), is a body of Christians in the continuing Anglican movement, which is separate from the Anglican Communion led by the Archbishop of Canterbury (and symbolically and ceremonially, the monarch of Britain, as Supreme Governor). This denomination is separate from the Anglican Catholic Church in Australia and the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada.

The continuing Anglican movement and the Anglican Catholic Church grew out of the 1977 Congress of St. Louis.

History

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.[1] The decision to allow the ordination of women was one part of a larger theological position opposed by the congress. As a result of the congress, various Anglicans separated from the Episcopal Church and formed the "Anglican Catholic Church" in order to continue the Anglican tradition as they understood it. 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:

... the Anglican Church of Canada and the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, by their unlawful attempts to alter Faith, Order and Morality (especially in their General Synod of 1975 and General Convention of 1976), have departed from Christ's One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.[2]

Coat of Arms of the Anglican Catholic Church

In January 1978, four bishops (Charles Doren, James Orin Mote, Robert Morse, and Francis Watterson) were consecrated.[3] What had provisionally been called the Anglican Church in North America (Episcopal), 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 1983, a statement of unity led to the coalescence of the Anglican Catholic Church.[4]

In 1991 a number of parishes left the Anglican Catholic Church to merge with the American Episcopal Church and form the Anglican Church in America. Additional parishes left and formed the Holy Catholic Church (Anglican Rite).

Since 1990 the Anglican Catholic Church has expanded to six continents and nearly two dozen countries,[5] including the Americas, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Africa, so that today the Anglican Catholic Church has over 250 parish churches and missions worldwide, and at the end of 2015 the membership of the Original Province was counted as 30,711.[6] In October 2005 Mark Haverland of Athens, Georgia, replaced John Vockler, who was in charge from 2001 to 2005, as archbishop and metropolitan. At the 17th Provincial Synod, October 2007, Wilson Garang and his Diocese of Aweil in Sudan were received into the Anglican Catholic Church. In 2015, the number of ACC dioceses in South Africa grew to four.[7] In 2017 the ACC signed the Atlanta Concordat with the with the Anglican Church in America, the Anglican Province of America, and the Diocese of the Holy Cross forming the "G4." At the 24th Provincial Synod, September 2021, a new province, the Province of South Africa, was canonically erected. At the same synod, the Diocese of the Holy Cross voted to join the ACC as a non-geographical diocese.

Worldwide mission and development is done through the St. Paul Mission Society, which was founded to "provide funding, personnel, and other forms of support for domestic and international missions," and to assist in "the amelioration, relief, and assistance of persons and communities distressed by natural or man-made events or disasters or by adverse social or political situations." Based in the US, the main focus of the Society is in the developing world.[8]

ACC-UECNA

From 2005 to 2011, the ACC and the United Episcopal Church of North America (UECNA) explored opportunities for greater cooperation and the possibility of achieving organic unity. On May 17, 2007, Haverland signed an intercommunion agreement negotiated with the United Episcopal Church of North America.[9][10] Bishop Presley Hutchens of the ACC addressed delegates to the UECNA convention of October 2008 and discussed the possibility of uniting the ACC and UECNA.[11] Although well received at the time, there was a feeling among many of the delegates that the proposal was being rushed, and that no proper consideration was being given to the theological, constitutional and canonical issues thrown up by the move. Moves towards unity with the Anglican Catholic Church were referred for further discussion and subsequently stalled in 2011 by decision of UECNA to remain an independent jurisdiction.[12]

GAFCON and ACNA

In 2008, Archbishop Mark Haverland published a response to 2008 meeting of 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."[13]

In 2009, Archbishop Mark Haverland published a letter to Bishop Robert Duncan, concerning the invitation to participate in the inaugural Provincial Assembly of the Anglican Church in North America on June 22-25, 2009. The letter indicates that the differences between the ACC and ACNA are "first principles" which do not allow unity, but offers a dialogue in the future if those "first principles" are resolved.[14]

The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter

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 regret that the forthcoming Constitution, while kindly meant, seems set to delay that happy day."[15]

The Anglican Joint Synods - G-4

In January 2016, the Anglican Catholic Church reached a formal accord with the Anglican Church in America, the Anglican Province of America, and the Diocese of the Holy Cross.[16] Forming the Anglican Joint Synods, a "Group of 4" churches, called the G-4, pursuing eventual corporate unity.

On October 6, 2017, at a joint synod in Atlanta, Georgia, the primates of the Anglican Province of America, the Anglican Church in America, the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Diocese of the Holy Cross signed a concordat of full communion.[17] The Most Rev. Brian R. Marsh (ACA), the Most Rev. Mark D. Haverland (ACC), the Most Rev. Walter H. Grundorf (APA), and the Rt. Rev. Paul C. Hewett (DHC) signed the following document, called the Atlanta Concordat, which reads in part:

"We acknowledge each other to be orthodox and catholic Anglicans in virtue of our common adherence to the authorities accepted by and summarized in the Affirmation of St. Louis in the faith of the Holy Tradition of the undivided Catholic Church and of the seven Ecumenical Councils. 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."[18]

Kevin Kallsen of Anglican TV Ministries interviewed the G-4 bishops, Most Rev. Brian R. Marsh (ACA), the Most Rev. Mark D. Haverland (ACC), the Most Rev. Walter H. Grundorf (APA), and the Rt. Rev. Paul C. Hewett (DHC), on Oct 9, 2017, concerning the recently signed Concordat.[19]

In 2019, a joint mission and evangelism ministry called Continuing Forward was formed for these G-4 jurisdictions.[20]

On September 23, 2021 the Diocese of the Holy Cross voted to join the Anglican Catholic Church as a non-geographical diocese.[21] Making the "Group of 4" a "Group of 3" (G-3) churches.

Dialogue with Polish National Catholic Church

A dialogue between the G-4 churches and the Polish National Catholic Church (PNCC) opened, with the desire to reestablish the ties that had previously existed between the PNCC and the Anglican church.[22] A dialogue was held January 15, 2019 in Dunwoody, Georgia.[23] The Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Province of America, the Most Rev’d Walter H. Grundorf, who attended the dialogue, provided the following brief report.

”In October 2017, PNCC representatives were invited and attended the Anglican Joint Synods, now referred to as the G4 Jurisdictions, which led to this Dialogue. The Diologue was a friendly meeting which began with introductions, which allowed time for each to give a brief history of the jurisdictions represented. The Anglicans of the G4 were each able to explain their origins and how the jurisdictions were finally united in full communion with each other.  The Jurisdictions of the G4 were represented by their Presiding Bishops and Archbishops from the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), the Anglican Church in America (ACA), the Anglican Province of America (APA), the Diocese of the Holy Cross (DHC). Also in attendance was a Bishop of the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada (ACCC). The PNCC Prime Bishop Anthony Mikovsky and Bishop Paul Sobiechowski gave a brief history of the origins and history of the PNCC. This included their dialogue with Rome, the Union of Utrecht, the formation of Union of Scranton, and their work with the Nordic Catholic Church. The PNCC was represented by three bishops and two senior priests. The agenda was well-planned and allowed time for the participants to get to know each other informally.”[24]

On July 28th, 2020, the G-4/PNCC Ecumenical Dialogue Group met via Zoom.[25]

On October 5-6, 2021, the G-3/PNCC Ecumenical Dialogue Group met at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Manchester, New Hampshire.[26]

As a part of the ACC worldwide joining the Union of Scranton, dialogue meetings between the Nordic Catholic Church and the ACC Diocese of the United Kingdom were held in March[27][28] and September[29][30] of 2019.

Church Governance

The Anglican Catholic Church holds to the Affirmation of St. Louis[31] as a guiding document of faith and ecclesiology. It is further organized and governed according to the principles and terms laid out in its Constitution and Canons.[32] In the Constitution,[33] the Church receives its name and it ecclesiastical structure. The method for establishing dioceses and provinces is established, and various processes related to the election of bishops and calling synods are laid out. The Canons[34] are an expansion of the principles laid out in the Constitution and provide a detailed legal framework for the governance of the Church. The Original Province is further governed by its own Canons and Statutes.[35] Each diocese is also governed by its own diocesan canons.

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.[36]

  • The Department of Ecumenical Relations (The Most Reverend Mark Haverland)
  • The Department of Ministry (The Right Reverend Damien Mead)
  • The Department of Theological Education (The Right Reverend Presley Hutchens)
  • The Department of the Armed Forces (The Right Reverend Donald Lerow)
  • The Department of Evangelism (The Right Stephen Scarlett)
  • The Department of Stewardship (Currently Vacant)
  • The Department of Multi-Lingual Resources (The Right Reverend Rommie Starks)

Sacraments and Worship

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."[37]

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."[38]

Following the rubrics common to liturgical practice before the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, as well as the rubrics of the allowed Missals, liturgical celebration in the ACC follows a usus antiquior form of worship, including the ad orientem posture of the celebrant[39] and the frequent use of communion rails.[40] Following Anglican custom, communion is usually given to the laity under both kinds. The Ornaments Rubric is retained and permitted.[41]

The ACC publishes an annual Ordo Calendar which provides a standard for feasts, fasts, and general rubrics for liturgical services.[42] The Ordo Calendar generally follows pre-1969 traditions with Anglican adaptations and makes provision for local Anglican feasts.

Second Province

In 1984 the five dioceses of the Church of India (CIPBC) were received by the Anglican Catholic Church and constituted as its second province, but they rescinded Communion between 2013 and 2017 over matters relating to the status of the second province and became independent.[57] In 2018, Archbishop Mark Haverland and Most Rev. John Augustine, Metropolitan of the CIPBC, signed an agreement restoring communio in sacris.[58] The Second Province of the ACC now consists of one diocese:

  • Diocese of Lahore[59]

Third Province

In September 2021, by a vote of the Provincial Synod of the Original Province, a third Province, the Province of Southern Africa, was established. The Right Reverend Dominic Mdunyelwa was elected as its first Archbishop and Metropolitan and was installed by Archbishop Mark Haverland on 14 November 2021.[60] The new autonomous Province is composed of 4 of the 6 dioceses in South Africa, and the one and only diocese in Zimbabwe. The 2 remaining dioceses in South Africa voted to remain part of the Original Province. The Province consists of the 5 following dioceses:

  • Diocese of Kei
  • Missionary Diocese of the North East
  • Missionary Diocese of Saint Paul
  • Missionary Diocese of Vaal
  • Diocese of Zimbabwe

Leadership

The Anglican Catholic Church claims Apostolic Succession, originating from The Episcopal Church from before the date of ordination of women to the priesthood.[61][62] It is also stated that there are Old Catholic and Polish National Catholic Church consecrations in the line of succession.[63][64] The first bishops of the Anglican Church of North America, later named the Anglican Catholic Church, were consecrated on 28 January 1978 in Denver, Colorado.[65] In Denver, Charles Dale David Doren, sometime Archdeacon of the Diocese of Taejon in South Korea, was consecrated by the Rt Rev’d Albert Arthur Chambers, sometime PECUSA Bishop of Springfield (PECUSA #588) and Acting Metropolitan of the ACNA. Joining Bishop Chambers in the consecration of Doren was the Rt Rev’d Francisco de Jesus Pagtakhan of the Philippine Independent Catholic Church. Letters of Consent and Desire for the Doren consecration were in hand from the Rt Rev’d Mark Pae (Taejon, Korea) and Rt Rev'd Charles Boynton.[66]
