ACNA in Crisis. Steve Wood should resign as archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America.
OPINION By Warren Cole Smith MINISTRY WATCH November 1, 2025 The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) is a small but mighty denomination. To use an expression from boxing, it is a denomination that “punches above its weight.” Founded just 15 years ago, it has grown to more than 1000 congregations and a membership of 120,000. It also has a strong presence in places like Dallas and Colorado Springs, cities that are home to significant evangelical institutions. So, you

We Need Luther’s High View of Scripture
By Mark D. Thompson The Gospel Coalition October 31, 2025 On All Saints’ Eve 1517, Martin Luther changed the shape of Europe and the world forever. However it was done—and I don’t think Luther was beyond the theatrical flourish of nailing his famous Ninety-five Theses to the church door himself—when Luther’s arguments against indulgences were released on the world, the Protestant Reformation began. Luther remains a controversial figure today, and with good reason. Yet it’s s

In ACNA’s upside-down world, abuse survivors are considered the problem.
The crucial truth to remember is that when someone comes forward and tells the truth about abuse, they are not the one causing harm to the church. October 27, 2025 (RNS) — Facing allegations he mishandled abuse incidents in his Anglican Church in North America’s Diocese of the Upper Midwest, Bishop Stewart Ruch wrote to then-Archbishop Foley Beach in January 2022, “Both my diocese and the ACNA got hit this summer by a vicious spiritual attack of the enemy. I believe this

The Cloud and the Chalice: Recovering the Embodied Church in the Digital Age
SPECIAL TO VIRTUEONLINE By Rev. Dr. Ronald H. Moore www.virtueonline.org October 25, 2025 In the modern world, much of what we call “connection” takes place nowhere at all. The great paradox of our digital age is that the more we speak of being connected, the more we live disembodied lives. Our words rise into the cloud, our faces appear as light on a screen, and our sense of community is sustained by notifications and bandwidth rather than presence and touch. Yet the Chr

The Test of a Church: How the ACNA Handles Its Own Judgment Will Define Its Future
The Rev. Dr. Ronald Moore https://southernanglican.substack.com/ Oct 23, 2025 In the wake of recent allegations against Archbishop Stephen Wood, the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) finds itself standing before a mirror. This is not a moment for triumphalism or defensiveness, nor for speculation about guilt or innocence. It is, rather, a moment for introspection—a proving ground for the very principles that gave the ACNA its existence. Every reforming movement eventu

Why are Christians hung up about Sarah Mullally?
An explanation for those outside the church By Peter Leach Artillery THE CRITIC 11 October, 2025 Sarah Mullally is to be the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, which has upset a number of Christians, especially in the Anglican community here and abroad, and particularly in Africa. Though if you aren’t a Christian, you may be confused as to why many are unhappy with the appointment. Most of the negative commentary is either written for a church audience, and hence does not ex
