History
The IACCS descends from a single parish that separated from the Anglican Church of Canada in 1934 under the leadership of William H. Daw, later created additional parishes, and adopted the present name in the 1980s.
The Order of the Oblates of St. John the Evangelist was formed within the church in September 2003. The order is open to both clergy and lay persons.
In 2006, the Anglican Independent Communion in the Americas, led by the Rt. Rev. John W. Gains of Georgetown, Delaware, merged with the IACCS to become a newly-named "Anglican Church, Province of North America, Inc." The venture was dissolved in 2008, and the Canadian church resumed its earlier identity. Bishop Gains and his parish subsequently joined the IACCS as did Bishop Michael Fedechko, formerly Bishop Primus of the Reformed Episcopal Church of Canada, along with his parish in New Liskeard, Ontario.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“It’s a very delicate surgical operation—to cut out the heart without killing the patient. The history of our country, however, is a very tough old patient, and we’ll do the best we can.”

“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
