Are there any conservative High Anglican churches in DC?

[Anonymous]

I'm looking for a conservative High Anglican Church in DC. Any suggestions?

Do you mean one that is politically conservative and part of ACNA, or one that follows High Anglican traditions but is Episcopalian.

Probably ACNA. I don't really care what group they're a part of. I want a church that follows the High Anglican tradition, and one that is conservative on issues like marriage and abortion.

So, ACNA. The Episcopal church has taken a pretty clear position on marriage, so it sounds like you want a parish that is not Episcopal.

There appear to be 2 ACNA churches in DC. St. Brendan's in the City, which is in NE, and All Nations DC Anglican, which is in NW. I do not know if either of them would be considered High Church, as being High Church has nothing to do with politics.

The church that is a member of the Anglican communion, and is the most High Church in the city that I know of is the Church of the Ascension and St. Agnes. But they are definitely an Episcopal church and follow the Episcopal church's teaching on marriage and abortion.

If you are looking for the combination of "High Church" and conservative, is there a reason you aren't looking for a Catholic parish? They do that combination rather well, and there are many to choose from.

Because I'm a conservative Protestant. I'm not attending a Catholic Church. Are there any conservative Dutch Reformed Churches in the city( I know they tend to be pretty High Church) Are there any conservative Lutheran churches like this in DC? I'm willing to attend a church of any Protestant denomination, as long as it's High and conservative.

Is your Google broken? You can do these searches just as easily as we can, right?

Tell me what things make a church "High" in the way that is important to you. That

Also, don't you live in VA? Why don't you want to attend a church there?

St. Paul's K would be another High but not politically conservative Episcopal parish.

There's Restoration Anglican in Arlington, and the Falls Church Anglican wherever they moved to. Because the local Episcopal dioceses are playing hardball about letting these breakaway churches keep church property, it's going to be tough to find Anglican churches that keep the full "smells and bells" experience.

And yes, look at going Catholic. Mainline Protestant churches are moving away from discriminatory practices. So it's either Catholicism or non-mainline churches.

You might also look at Continuing Anglican churches.

I wonder if you might like Christ the King- http://www.ctkalexandria.org/
It's not Anglo-Catholic, but it is a more formal, liturgical worship service.

And in terms of the person up thread who said that the Episcopalian's were the ones who were the members of the Anglican communion- the Episcopal church was just suspended by the Anglican communion. The ACNA was not.

No the Episcopal Church was not suspended. Certain restrictions were placed on their ability to do certain things, but they were not suspended.

I'm the one who made the comment about the Anglican Communion and I didn't say that ACNA wasn't part of the Anglican Communion. I said that the church that meets three of his criteria that comes to mind (Anglican Communion, in DC, "High" Church) is Ascension and Saint Agnes, but it is Episcopal and not conservative in the sense that the OP seems to mean.. ACNA churches are also part of the Anglican Communion, but I am not aware of any High Church ACNA churches in DC. It seems that you can have almost any 3 of the 4 things OP wants

Anglican, High, DC == A&SA, St. Paul's K

Anglican, DC, conservative -- St. Brendan's in the City, All Nations DC

High, DC, Conservative -- St. Augustine, and many other Catholic churches

Anglican, High, conservative -- a number of choices in NOVA

Finding all 4 together is challenging.

17:45 Yes the Episcopal Church was sanctioned and suspended for three years by the worldwide Anglican community including the archbishop of Canterbury. Read last weeks paper or Google Episcopal Church suspended by Anglican . . .

from ArchBishop Welby's Comminique on the Primates Meeting-
We remain committed to being together, albeit we asked that TEC, while attending and playing a full part in our meetings and all discussions, will not represent the Anglican Communion to other churches and should not be involved in standing committees for a period of three years. During this time we also asked that they not vote on matters of doctrine or how we organise ourselves.

That sure sounds like a suspension to me.
