Other sites provide a comprehensive listing of websites of the worldwide Anglican jurisdictions, and it is not my intention to repeat this work. Therefore, except for selected jurisdictions, I will only provide links to where you can locate these internet links. To see a list and short description of the many churches that make up the Anglican Communion, take the online virtual tour. In terms of numbers of Anglicans worldwide, no other continent comes close to Africa. The Anglican Church is growing by leaps and bounds in many African nations. For links to the Anglican Church in Africa, the best site is Anglicans Online - Africa. Anglican Africa also provides links to sites of Anglican interest in southern Africa. Anglican sites in Asia can best be located by going to Anglicans Online - World and scrolling down to the Asian section. If you are looking for Japanese Anglican sites, then go directly to Anglicans Online - Japan. Anglicans Online - Australia and Anglicans Online - New Zealand provide comprehensive introductions to these respective provinces. The Anglican Church of Australia and the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia both have their own national church web pages. Anglicans Online has separate web pages for mainland Europe, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Church of England has its own web page which can also be accessed with this URL address. This site includes an excellent introduction to the Church of England with links to history, organization, liturgy and more. The Church in Wales has its own web page, as does the Scottish Episcopal Church, and the Church of Ireland. Mainland Europe has both a Church of England Diocese in Europe, and an American Episcopal Church based Convocation of American Churches in Europe. 1) Canada Anglicans Online has a separate web page for Canada which includes an organized series of links to Canadian dioceses and parishes. The Anglican Church of Canada has its own website which includes links to dioceses. Note also the website for the Anglican Communion in New Westminster which is the group of eight orthodox parishes in the Vancouver area that is in impaired communion with the Diocese of New Westminster over the same-sex blessing issue. 2) United States In the United States, there are now two distinct Anglican jurisdictions. One is the old, established Episcopal Church (USA). At its 2003 General Convention, the Episcopal Church has arguably separated itself from the Anglican Communion. The ramifications of this move by the Episcopal Church are still being sorted out. The other is the brand new Anglican Mission in America currently under the auspices of the Provinces of Rwanda and Southeast Asia. The latter remains extremely controversial, as it is opposed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. a) The Episcopal Church (USA) The Episcopal Church is the focus of the Anglicans Online United States page which includes an organized list of ECUSA dioceses and parishes. The Episcopal Church (USA) which has its own well developed web page with links to Episcopal dioceses and parishes, church canons, and more. There are also online clergy and parish directories. The ECUSA's Presiding Bishop has his own page. Bishops, clergy, laity, dioceses and parishes of the Episcopal Church which dissent from General Convention 2003 and wish to remain part of the Anglican Communion can register themselves at the Communion Parishes website. b) The Anglican Mission in America The Anglican Mission in America is a collection of Anglican parishes in the United States under bishops of the Anglican Provinces of Rwanda and Southeast Asia. To find links to the Anglican Church in the Middle East on Anglicans Online, one must go to either Anglicans Online - Africa or Anglicans Online - World and scroll down to the relevant area. To find links to the Anglican Church in South and Central America on Anglicans Online, go to Anglicans Online - World and scroll down to the relevant areas. |
