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:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
