ABOUT
US
The Washington DC Chapter of the American Anglican Council
is an independent affiliate of the national AAC network. We are
all, laity and clergy, comitted to fulfilling the Great Commission within
the family of the Anglican Communion. Some of us are canonically resident
in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, while others are physically resident
in the metropolitan Washington area but are affiliated with other Anglican
jurisdictions.
The American Anglican Council
is a network of individuals, parishes,
specialized ministries and Episcopal Bishops who affirm Biblical authority
and Anglican orthodoxy within and beyond the Episcopal Church, and within
the Anglican Communion. The
AAC supports the Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses and Parishes ---The
Anglican Communion Network. Click here

Mid-Atlantic Convocation.

History
of the the American Anglican Council
"Twenty-five people gathered at the Briarwood Conference Center north of Dallas, Texas in December of 1995. Among us were five bishops, five lay persons, five scholars (including a former and a future seminary dean), five heads of national ministries and five rectors of large churches.
All of us
had been involved in one way or another in renewal or reform in the Episcopal
Church, and while we could all point to various accomplishments along
the way, we were all concerned that the Church's elected leadership continued
to move further and further away from the historic biblical Christian
faith, as if locked in a downward spiraling dance of death with the postmodern
Western culture. It seemed an unavoidable conclusion that God was not
blessing us in our efforts to call the Episcopal Church back to affirming
the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of Holy Scripture as traditionally
understood." Click here to read the
