Anglican Catholic Church
The Anglican Catholic Church is a church that developed out of the Anglican Church and made it independent.
A number of Anglican Christians had already been critical of the increasing adaptation of their church to the zeitgeist since the first half of the 20th century. Since the 1970s, various congregations broke away from the World Association of the Anglican Church. In 1977 there was an international congress of around 2000 bishops, priests and lay people in Saint Louis. This congress resolved a return to the old traditions and beliefs of the Anglican Church and separated from the existing Anglican Church. They elected the Bishop Emeritus of Springfield as their first bishop . In 1984 the Anglican Church of India (not to be confused with the also Anglican and much larger Church of North India and Church of South India , both of which are members of the Anglican Community ) joined the Anglican Catholic Church with their five dioceses.
In 1991 a third of the parishes left the Church and formed the Anglican Church in America with the American Episcopal Church .
Today the Anglican-Catholic Church has 17 dioceses in two ecclesiastical provinces and can be found on all continents.
Since October 2008 there is full church fellowship with the Anglican Province of Christ the King and the United Episcopal Church of North America .
