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.
