Anglican Hallmarks

The hallmarks of the "traditional" church are:

  • Catholic
  • Faith
  • Apostolic Order
  • Sacramental Worship
  • Evangelical Witness.

The churches and missions which are part of the Anglican Church in America, itself a part of the International Traditional Anglican Communion.

The services are based on the first official prayer book in English which was based on the established practice of religion and liturgy of Salisbury and known as the Sarum Usage. Today we use the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer augmented by the Anglican Missal American Edition and The American Missal.
