Orthodox Anglican Communion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anglican Orthodox Communion was established in 1964,[1] (the Orthodox Anglican Communion was later formed to oversea our churches abroad) The Anglican Orthodox Communion was one of the first such communions to be formed outside of the See of Canterbury and therefore is not part of the Anglican Communion. The Anglican Orthodox Communion adheres to the doctrine, discipline and worship contained in the classic Anglican formularies, especially in the 1662 English, 1928 American, 1929 Scottish and 1962 Canadian Books of Common Prayer.

The presiding bishop of the American branch of the communion, known in the United States as the Anglican Orthodox Church, serves as metropolitan of the global communion.

The communion has over one million members worldwide[2][better source needed] with branches in North and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. The first regional conference of bishops was convened by the communion's primate at the Imperial Hotel in Kisumu, Kenya on August 24, 2009.
