Orthodox Anglican Communion

The Orthodox Anglican Communion (OAC) is a communion of churches established in the United States, in 1964 or 1967,^[1] by James Parker Dees.^[2] It was formed outside of the See of Canterbury and is not part of the Anglican Communion.^[1] The OAC adheres to the doctrine, discipline and worship contained in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and the 1562 Articles of Religion.^[3]

The OAC was created as a conservative alternative to the mainstream Anglican Communion.^[2] Its presiding bishop also serves as its metropolitan.^[3]^[4] It claims to have "over one million lay members".^[1]
