The term Anglican Use has two meanings. In one, it refers to personal parishes in the United States founded for former members of the United States Episcopal Church who join the Catholic Church as members of the Latin Rite and who wish to maintain some features of Anglicanism. They are also referred to as Pastoral Provision parishes, being established in accordance with the Pastoral Provision granted by Pope John Paul II on 20 June 1980, which permitted the ordination as Catholic priests of married former clergy of the Episcopal Church for service either in such personal parishes or elsewhere in Catholic dioceses of the United States.
The other meaning of the term Anglican Use is the liturgical worship of these parishes, a form found in the Book of Divine Worship.

Famous quotes containing the word anglican:
“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)
