Religion:American Anglican Church

The American Anglican Church is a Continuing Anglican jurisdiction which was founded early in the history of the Continuing Anglican movement, following controversies in the Episcopal Church over the ordination of women to the priesthood and the adoption of a new Book of Common Prayer.

The presiding bishop of the American Anglican Church is John A. Herzog. He attended the Institute of Theology at the (Episcopal) Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City and General Seminary. He was ordained to the Diaconate by Bishop Anthony Clavier of the Continuing Anglican movement on December 5, 1982 and to the Priesthood on June 5, 1983. Herzog founded the Anglican Mission of the Holy Innocents in June 1983 and the Order of Saint Andrew in 1986. Holy Innocents church in New York serves as the AAC headquarters. He was consecrated a Bishop in the American Anglican Church in June 1994.

The American Anglican Church conforms to all the standards of the Continuing Church movement and counts at present thirteen parishes and missions in North America, many of which serve Anglicans of Kenyan ancestry.
