Ecclesiastical Status
The American Anglican Council is not an ecclesial body, but rather an orthodox Anglican advocacy organization with ministry involving education, communication, strategic planning, diplomacy, counsel and resource networking with other Anglican bodies domestically and internationally.
It works directly with orthodox Episcopal Churches and Episcopalians who are committed to remaining in the Episcopal Church for the foreseeable future, and those orthodox Anglican Churches and individuals who are in the process of leaving the Episcopal Church, and those orthodox Anglican Churches and individuals who are outside or never affiliated with the Episcopal Church. This ministry to all three areas will continue into the anticipated future.
As a freestanding orthodox Anglican advocacy organization the AAC is neither in nor out of TEC, but entirely separate from it. Any future restructuring of the provincial status of North American Anglican churches will not involve the AAC being a nucleus of the replacement, since the AAC is not an ecclesial body itself.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
