What Is the Communion?
The Orthodox Anglican Communion is a fellowship of churches around the world that adhere to historic Anglican faith and order. The Communion seeks to be faithful to historic Anglican doctrine and practice. The Orthodox Anglican Church is a member jurisdiction of the Communion.
The Communion promotes Biblical unity among faithful Anglicans, and provides the leadership of member jurisdictions with valid Apostolic Succession. With jurisdictions on several continents, it is the largest such fellowship of Churches that is not affiliated with the See of Canterbury. Apart from the sacramental and teaching ministry, our missions and jurisdictions around the world conduct various forms of charitable outreach.
“The purpose of The Orthodox Anglican Communion is to promote the unity of Christendom by providing a canonical means to unite Anglican Christians throughout the world who are orthodox in Faith and Order.”
