Anglican Episcopal Church

The Anglican Episcopal Church of America (AECA) is a Continuing Anglican Church served by a presiding Archbishop and several other clergy. The AECA was founded at St. George's Anglican Church in Ventura, California.

The church describes its faith as being based on the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, the Authorized Version of the Bible, and the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion.

The Anglican Episcopal Church of America's first Archbishop is His Grace Reverend Patricio Viveros (2017 to Present). Viveros was consecrated for the Anglican Episcopal Church on 20 April 2000 by Robert J. Godfrey, a former presiding bishop of the Anglican Orthodox Church. The co-consecrators were: Richard Boyce of the Anglican Province of America and Scott McLaughlin, Hesbon Njera, and Thomas Shank, all of the Orthodox Anglican Church. Following Hammond's death on 5 May 2004, the church was reduced from three parishes to the one parish in Ventura which then voted to ask for the episcopal oversight of two bishops of the Anglican Diocese of the Good Shepherd: Melvin Pickering and George Connor.

This Anglican Episcopal Church of America is not to be confused with the Anglican Episcopal Church of North America founded in 1972 by Bishop Walter Hollis Adams (1907 to 1991), with the Anglican Episcopal Church, Celtic Rite which was founded in 1993 by Bishop Robert Harold Hawn (1928 to 1999), with the Anglican Episcopal Church International which was founded by Bishop Norman S. Dutton in 2008, or with the "Anglican Episcopal Church of Europe" which was founded more recently.
