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.

“[Girls] study under the paralyzing idea that their acquirements cannot be brought into practical use. They may subserve the purposes of promoting individual domestic pleasure and social enjoyment in conversation, but what are they in comparison with the grand stimulation of independence and self- reliance, of the capability of contributing to the comfort and happiness of those whom they love as their own souls?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is comparison than makes people miserable.”
—Chinese proverb.
“It is our continuing love for our children that makes us want them to become all they can be, and their continuing love for us that helps them accept healthy discipline—from us and eventually from themselves.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“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)
“I am haunted by interrupted acts,
introspective as a leper, enchanted
by a repulsive clew,
a gross and fugitive movement of the limbs.
Is this the love that shook the lights to flame?”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
