Anglican Church in North America AMA

About the ACNA church, from the ACNA Wikipedia entry:

"The ACNA was founded in 2009 by former members of the Episcopal Church in the United States and the Anglican Church of Canada who were dissatisfied with increasingly liberal doctrinal and social teachings in their former churches, which they considered contradictory to traditional Anglican belief. Prior to 2009, these conservative Anglicans had begun to receive support from a number of Anglican churches (or provinces) outside of North America, especially in the Global South. Several Episcopal dioceses and many individual parishes in both Canada and the United States voted to transfer their allegiance to Anglican provinces in South America and Africa. In 2009, many Anglican groups who had withdrawn from the two North American provinces united to form the Anglican Church in North America.

Unlike the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada, the ACNA is not a member province of the Anglican Communion. From its inception, however, it has sought full membership in the Communion, and the church does maintain full communion with eight Anglican Communion provinces."

u/Safor001 "I was raised Presbyterian all my life, attending one OPC church for most of my life, then church hopping for a few years before ceasing to go to church altogether. Increasingly dissatisfied with Presbyterian worship and church life, at the recommendation of a friend I "crossed the Thames" just over a year ago and became part of a wonderful ACNA parish. It's a smaller, younger church. I have yet to be officially confirmed as an Anglican, as our bishop hasn't visited the parish in the time I have been attending. I've had the honor of participating in the procession and have been involved in various ministries."

u/HellOnTheReddit "I'm u/HellOnTheReddit and I'm from Texas. I grew up SDA, went to an SDA University and effectively my whole family is still SDA. The story of how I came to Anglicanism is a bit long and probably outside the purview of this post, but the teal deer is that I asked the Lord to plant me so I might not be moved, and he led me directly to what is now my home parish in the ACNA. I was confirmed earlier this year. As is my habit, I took the opportunity to get really nerdy about it. I describe myself as Anglo-Catholic, hold the Staunch. As for my username, it doesn't mean anything bad. Hell on the Red is an old nickname for the state of Texas, and also the name of one of my favorite brands of hot sauce. Hot sauce is very important to me."
