Stated Goals
Anglican Essentials Canada states they "offer support to Canadian Anglicans who wish to remain true to biblically-faithful, historically-authentic Anglicanism." Anglican Essentials Canada stands for the supremacy of the complete Canon of Holy Scripture, the Book of Common Prayer as the standard of doctrine and worship, the Ordinal, and the Articles of Religion affirmed by the Lambeth Conference of 1968.
Although one of the constituent groups is the Prayer Book Society, Anglican Essentials Canada states that the Book of Alternative Services meets a widely-felt need for contemporary liturgy, and brings life and joy to many Anglican worshippers". They are neutral on the matter of the ordination of women and include women priests among their ranks. They are opposed to the blessing of same-sex unions.

—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
