Comparison With The Continuing Anglican Movement
The Anglican Mission in the Americas has some similarities to the Continuing Anglican Movement with several obvious differences:
- It claims to be a part of the Anglican Communion, whereas most of the Continuing Churches disavow the Anglican Communion;
- Some congregations ordain women to the priesthood, and others only to the diaconate, while the Continuing Anglican churches do not ordain women;
- Some of its congregations continue to use the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of TEC which Continuing Anglicans consider to be defective. The AMiA has produced an updated version of the 1662, 1928 and 1962 (Canadian) Books of Common Prayer for consideration by its churches in North America.

“From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“I have travelled a good deal in Concord; and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways.... The twelve labors of Hercules were trifling in comparison with those which my neighbors have undertaken; for they were only twelve, and had an end; but I could never see that these men slew or captured any monster or finished any labor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“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)
“A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
