The ACNA is just as apostate as The Episcopal Church minus the gay/lesbian/transgender issues. It won't be long before it goes full circle again and the ACNA and GAFCON will be ordaining the GLT ministers. Why? Because their commitment is not to the Gospel but to tolerance and Charlie J.

The REC and the APA have a concordat and have been exchanging ministers openly since 1998. Also, the APA and the REC have a document both churches signed called, "True Unity by the Cross." In that document the APA claims to adhere to the 39 Articles of Religion. However, the APA is reading the 39 Articles from Charlie J.
