| Who Are We Spiritually and Historically? Click here for the full text and "Our Resolves" We are Christians. We are followers of Jesus Christ. Our faith is an ancient one dating back to the times of Jesus and His Apostles. Our history is traced to the British Isles beginning many say to the first century, when St. Joseph of Arimathaea visited his tin mines at Glastonbury, England. The first written mention of Christians in Britain is by the historian Tertullian about 200 AD. He writes of "parts of Britain, inaccessible to the Roman, which had yet been conquered by Christ." Origin writes forty years later that in Britain are "Christians to be found." Our faith was first brought to Roanoke Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina where the first English child born in the new world was baptized in 1587. This colony would become the "Lost Colony." (Click here for "What We Believe"). |
| Seeking to Unite Anglicans |
| The Anglican Church of Virginia was formed in 2001 to serve Traditional Anglicans in these unsettled times. We represent a new Anglican Communion called the Anglican Church International Communion. We are not a part of the Episcopal Church, nor the Church of England. We have made significant progress and invite those who feel as we do to join this work of not only preserving, but expanding our faith handed down to us by Cranmer, Ridley, Latimer and Laud: all who gave their lives for our Anglican Faith. Our Mission is simple: reach souls for Jesus. We are a Church serving Anglicans of Virginia and around the world to worship in the tradition of men like George Washington and other founders of our Nation. We continue the Faith first brought to our shores and established by Captain John Smith and the Rev. Robert Hunt who came to Jamestown Island in 1607. We use only the traditional 1928 Book of Common Prayer taken from the original 1549,1552 and 1559, Thomas Cranmer's Books of Common Prayer. We are growing and want to assist you in forming a parish. The new Anglican Seminary of Virginia is educating men for the priesthood. and seeks men called to His ministry. Join Us! |

| A word from the Archbishop for International Provinces of the ACIC: Larry W.Johnson The historic actions of the bishops of the "new" Anglican communion are a relief and welcomed. There are now twenty-one provinces which are members of the ACIC. The continuing church has had less than adequate success in unifying since the first Anglicans left the Episcopal Church in the 1960's and 70's. Now with other departures we have another opportunity to come together. I hope this is achieved in the coming years. The ACIC and ACOVA have worked towards this goal and have experienced wonderful success. Not only are US bishops coming together but we are experiencing traditional bishops from around the world who have the same challenges and hopes. The ACIC offers the greatest hope of unity in my opinion. Our mission ahead must be to reach souls for Christ who are not and have not been in any church, but who have need of the saving grace of God. As in the centuries past with God's help we will succeed. Bishops interested in this movement are invited to ask for information. Please contact me for guidance on how to come into communion with the ACIC. Many blessings to you. In Christ's love, Archbishop Larry W.
