The American Anglican Council is an organization that unites theologically conservative Anglicans both from the Anglican Church in North America and The Episcopal Church in the United States. It was incorporated in 1996 in opposition to non-orthodox and liberal influence in American Anglicanism. It is one of several key organizations in the movement for Anglican realignment and was a founding partner of the Anglican Church in North America. All the 23 dioceses of the ACNA and the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas, as well as a large number of Episcopal parishes in the United States are affiliated to the organization.

“I make this direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war, if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the Axis than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an Axis victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“The Anglican Church is marked by the grace and good sense of its forms, by the manly grace of its clergy. The gospel it preaches is, “By taste are ye saved.” ... It is not in ordinary a persecuting church; it is not inquisitorial, not even inquisitive, is perfectly well bred and can shut its eyes on all proper occasions. If you let it alone, it will let you alone. But its instinct is hostile to all change in politics, literature, or social arts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
