Latest Campaign News...These are good and valid questions, and we are pleased to explain; after all there are very many Churches. Why should you be interested in us? What have we to offer that other Churches can’t offer, or in some cases just don’t want to offer? Let’s start at the beginning: This Church has its roots in the Church of England, and retains some similarities. It is however, independent of Lambeth, and has its own separate channels for appointments, authority and jurisdiction. In the 1970’s A number of Anglican clergy became restless and unhappy, and could not accept the relentless liberalising agenda of their church. These Priests started looking for another way of preserving their inherited Anglicanism, which they regarded as a standard Protestantism derived from Catholicism, that had been handed down through the generations since the Reformation. The Anglican inheritance that these clergy determined to preserve was the tradition of an all-male Priesthood, and an application system that required the disclosure of an applicant’s sexual orientation, and a selection procedure that automatically rejected practising homosexuals from ordination. The Anglican liturgy was also under review in the 1970’s. New Services were being introduced via the ASB, (Alternative Service Book) and although this publication was intended to be used in conjunction with the BCP, (Book of Common Prayer) not all the older clergy approved of the subtle changes. In consequence some clergy resigned from the Lambeth Communion, and the Anglican Independent Communion was born; immediately attracting an international flood of Ordained Clergy for incardination, and applications from prospective Ordinands, and Readers, from a diversity of denominations. Whole Churches from around the world have changed their allegiances since the AIC was born, bringing thousands of worshippers into our communion. Thirty years on, this continues to be the norm. Why do they come to us? - Because we have a mandate for Christian stability in a changing world, a passion to Serve, a modern Constitution, a Governing Document, and a clear no-nonsense Child Protection Policy. Please scroll down and see what we stand for, and what we do. Today the AIC Worldwide is bursting with enthusiastic drive, and is a thriving and growing International Communion. It’s not surprising that it is growing worldwide, because it is an anchor of stability and morality in a confused and decadent society. Through its outreach; the AIC meets young and old of all nationalities at their point of need. So why not join us, and be part of an international success story? We would be delighted to welcome you into our family, wherever and whoever you are. |
