Firstly, I enjoyed reading this post. I think ACNA will grow to supplant TEC in years to come, I live not far from you in Springfield. Don’t give up on the ACNA, I’m am lucky I only travel 10 miles to worship at a faithful Anglican mission. We are small but growing. Keep the faith with Anglicanism, best wishes and God bless.

Same here. Pretty sure if demographic trends continue, even on a conservative scale, in 50 years ACNA will be larger than TEC

I would add that this thread started in 2013. It is now 2019, and Between 2009 and 2019, 1,053 new church plants have been started in the ACNA, many after 2013, so hopefully the original author can find a church nearby.

Here at Lambeth Palace we should remind ourselves of the significant position of the Church of England in our nation’s life. The concept of our established Church is occasionally misunderstood and, I believe, commonly under-appreciated. Its role is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions. Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country.

It certainly provides an identity and spiritual dimension for its own many adherents. But also, gently and assuredly, the Church of England has created an environment for other faith communities and indeed people of no faith to live freely. Woven into the fabric of this country, the Church has helped to build a better society – more and more in active co-operation for the common good with those of other faiths.
