The Anglican Church of North America Pinback Button
The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) is a Christian denomination in the Anglican tradition with 28 dioceses in the United States and Canada. The ACNA has some 100,000 members in 800 parishes. The current leader is the Most Reverend Robert Duncan, Archbishop and Primate of the ACNA. The Church's founding constitutional convention took place on December 4, 2008, in Wheaton, Illinois, with the aim of forming a "separate ecclesiastical structure" for Anglican faithful in North America distinct from the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada and was formed, in part, by member bodies of the Common Cause Partnership. On June 22, 2009, at St. Vincent's Cathedral in Bedford, Texas, the Church's first Provincial Assembly met to ratify its provisional constitution and erect governing structures. While the ACNA is not a member of the Anglican Communion, the Anglican churches of Nigeria and Uganda are in full communion with it.
