why in 1977 an international congress of nearly 2,000 Anglican bishops, clergy, and

laypeople met in St. Louis, Missouri, to take the actions necessary to establish an

orthodox jurisdiction in which traditional Anglicanism would be maintained. Acting

according to the principles determined by the seven great Ecumenical Councils of the

ancient Church and adopting initially the name "Anglican Church of North America,"

the Anglican Catholic Church was born.
