Structure
The Anglican Network in Canada aims to represent orthodox Anglicanism in Canada as an alternative to the liberal leaning theology of the Anglican Church of Canada, in particular to their views on homosexuality and blessing of same-sex unions. The Anglican Network in Canada is a major Canadian constituent of the Anglican realignment movement. The irregular nature of ANiC makes it a very large Anglican diocese, covering the entire territory of Canada and a small pocket in the northeastern United States, in Massachusetts and Vermont. The Anglican Network in Canada is under the ecclesiastical oversight of the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone of America, it also holds a position in the house of bishops in the Anglican Church in North America. At present, the Anglican Church of North America is in the process of trying to gain admittance into and obtaining official recognition from the Anglican Communion. Until that may happen, the Anglican Network in Canada will hold a “dual citizenship” in both the ACNA and the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone.
Although ANiC is primarily a Canadian church, a number of churches in the United States are also part of it. This "no borders" attitude rests on a close relationship between these parishes and Bishop Harvey, the Moderator of the ANiC. The Anglican Network in Canada is also affiliated with Anglican Essentials Canada and has a loose affiliation with the Anglican Coalition in Canada which is a part of the Anglican Mission in the Americas, a former missionary organization of the Anglican Church of Rwanda.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
