I would say the Falls Church Anglican. Although they do allow women priests.

Looking for orthodoxy without ethnicity.

This is S/O, --As immigrant that's not familiar with all these different types of churches and terms, could someone explain to me what it means to be high church? How is the service different?

All Saints is more orthodox in liturgy and teaching relative to other DC parishes, but even the Rite I service at 11 while rich in liturgy and music has no smells or bells and is not a sung mass. It's a wonderful, vibrant parish though and should definitely be on your list if you're visiting around. While you'll find many "conservative" parishioners, you certainly couldn't paint everyone with that brush and you'll find a pretty diverse community in terms of church background, current views on the state of the Episcopal church and, I suspect, politically too though it really doesn't ever come up in regular conversation among parishioners.

Ascension & St. Agnes and St. Paul's are the two high liturgical parishes in the Episcopal church in DC with sung masses. Both are lovely places and the full worship experience is very rich.

Most churches that now identify as Anglican as opposed to Episcopal (i.e., the break-away churches like Restoration) may feel downright evangelical to you if you're accustomed to Rite I mass. Rich in community and worship, but not "high church" by any stretch.

One other non-Episcopal option for a conservative, higher-church experience is Immanuel Lutheran in Alexandria. It's Missouri Synod and has a traditional liturgy and beautiful music program as well. It's so conservative that I understand you can't take communion unless you also identify as a Missouri Synod Lutheran.

All Saints is very conservative for an Episcopal church, but probably not conservative enough for OP.

So maybe the Falls Church's new location?

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.

You're going to take a WaPo headline over a communication from a senior church official? Some realities,,what it means is that they can't vote at meetings. The Anglican Communion will still continue to gladly take US funding from the Episcopal church.

You really need to read more before posting. Here's a list of stories about the break including ReligionToday and ABC News and the New York Times. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=episcopal+church+in+u.s.+disciplined+by+anglican+body. By the way ECUSA (Episcopal Church) of USA is broke so isn't sending any money to the Anglican Communion. Less than 600,000 Episcopalians attend services on Sundays in the USA. Schori bankrupted the church with litigation. She had to sell off the NYC headquarters. National Cathedral can not get the repairs from the VA 2012 earthquake done because there is no money. Small episcopal churches were ordered shuttered and sold by her to pay for litigatioin. She left the church in tatters and was forced out. See membership here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episcopal_Church_(United_States).

They did, but after a long battle, the courts ruled that they couldn't keep the church property. They have moved to a new location, and the Falls Church is now holding an Episcopal parish.

Church of the Resurrection is an Anglican church in DC proper if that is what you want. http://rezchurch.org/new-here/what-to-expect-sunday/
I have friends that go- but I haven't actually attended and I am not sure how formal it is.
