Why do you think ACNA is in turmoil? A Chaplain on Fort Bragg (ACNA Priest) is going to be at an ordination ceremony for 20 Army Chaplains (occurs 18 Sep 19) who are switching to Anglican. This occurs 2x a year. Numbers like this aren't occurring for other denominations. I get the impression that ACNA is growing. Most seem proud of our new province.
Like many organizations, ACNA has its strengths and also its weaknesses. You asked about the weaknesses I made reference to and these are some.
First, after almost a decade of existence, it has yet to merge the six (6?) jurisdictions that went together on the project of creating a new church. Although ACNA always talks as though it is a singular, united, church body, it really is still a federation of separate ones, apparently unable to create organic unity.
Second, it has never been able to agree on the most obvious issues, such as a Book of Common Prayer. Unlike the Continuing Anglican churches which broke from The Episcopal Church partly because the latter created a new one--the 1979 edition--which has a significantly different theology from the historic BCPs right up to the 1928 American edition. The defective 1979 book is authorized in ACNA...as is the 1928...or some other, as dioceses choose; and now ACNA has created one of its own. There is nothing common about "common" prayer there, and yet that was one of Anglicanism great accomplishments.
Third, the matter of women priests has never been resolved in ACNA, and this was the second of the great reasons for the Continuers to have left TEC. So in ACNA, there are women priests--or not, depending on which diocese you happen be in--along with contemporary liturgies--or traditional ones, etc.
Fourth, ACNA claims, explicitly, to be a charismatic church, calling Scripture, Tradition, and Charismatic expressions the "three streams" of historic Christianity, which is a pure fabrication.
Fifth, ACNA has received many clergy from other Protestant denominations, many of whom seem quite obviously to have retained a lot of their former orientation and an unfamiliarity with Anglican ways and values.
Sixth, ACNA has exaggerated its membership figures from the start as well as constantly making the claim that it is part of the Anglican Communion, which it is not. The Anglican Communion has issued corrective statements about that, but to no avail.
The Anglican Church in North America is essentially The Episcopal Church which it left
except for the one issue that caused the ACNA to be founded in the first place--opposition to the homosexual agenda.
What do you mean by, "quasi-Anglican?" I personally prefer a parish to be more "high church" in style but low church is fine. If they are both using the same liturgy and hold to the same theological beliefs as defined by the 39 Articles, than style and substance is not really important.
Well, that's just it. The 39 Articles are rejected by Anglo-Catholics. The Articles are accepted, it is sometimes maintained, but not affirmed as representative of the beliefs of the church or individuals.
Typically, the Articles are described (as The Episcopal Church does) as an historical document that is retained as part of our Anglican heritage, but the statements themselves merely show how the church responded to the issues current in the 16th century (and, by implication, are not particularly relevant to the present day).
