The Anglican Catholic Church is a world-wide body of Anglican christians, which developed out of the St. Louis Congress of 1977. Because of the Episcopal Church's radical departure from traditional Anglicanism, mainly because of the ordination of women, an international meeting of 2,000 clergy and laity met in St. Louis, Missouri. From this developed the Anglican Church of North America. By 1978 four bishops were consecrated, and the church split into two seperate provinces, the Anglican Catholic Church and the Anglican Province of Christ the King. Since 1990 the Anglican Catholic Church has expanded to include 12 dioceses in the Americas, the United Kingdom, Australia, a bishopric in New Zealand, a deanery in Spain and in South America. In 1984 the historic Church of India (Anglican) was received and constituted as the Second Province; today it has 5 dioceses. Today the Anglican Catholic Church has 135 parish churches and missions, and less then 100,000 members. In October of 2005 the Most Rev. Mark D. Haverland replaced the Most Rev. Brother John Charles as Archbishop and Metropolitan.

Continuing Anglican Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (848 words)
The Continuing Anglican Movement is a group of Christian churches which follow the Anglican tradition but which split from one or another province of the Anglican Communion because of its perceived rejection of orthodoxy.
These are the Anglican Catholic Church, the Diocese of Christ the King (later renamed the Anglican Province of Christ the King), and the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada.
These churches are not always considered to be Continuing Anglican churches, although the REC has recently moved to associate itself more closely with them by entering into agreements with several continuing churches, the Anglican Province of Nigeria, and with conservative elements in ECUSA itself.
