We are a group of bishops, archbishops, priests, deacons, and seminarians across various countries, particularly in the Americas. I am the supreme authority of the Ancient Anglo-Catholic Movement 1515.
We have a bishop-elect from South America who will be enthroned as the Primate Archbishop of the Latin American-Anglican Church 1975. We have selected our Archbishop in Brussels to serve as Vice-Primate for Europe and South Asia.
Once the new clergy members are enthroned, the College of Bishops of the United States and Canada will enthrone me as Patriarch of the Americas. We consecrate new bishops ourselves, under my presidency.
To date, I have consecrated 70 new bishops; please visit our website and check the apostolic succession section to view the list. We do not have cardinals; that is a mission and responsibility of the Roman Church.
Our ranks consist only of seminarians, missionary brothers, missionary sisters, monks, nuns, deacons, deaconesses, priests, bishops, vicars, archbishops, primates, and patriarchs (only one). I have been a Missionary Monk of Saint Lawrence since 1975.
In 2003, by the grace of God, I was consecrated as the Bishop of the Americas.
Thank you for your message.
