  • The 1977 Congress of St. Louis was an international gathering of nearly 2,000 Anglicans, united in their rejection of perceived theological changes introduced by the Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the General Convention of 1976 and, ultimately, by the 1979 revision of the Book of Common Prayer. Anglicans who attended this congress felt that these changes amounted to foundational changes in the Episcopal Church and meant that it had "departed from Christ's One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. " The Congress of St. Louis produced the Affirmation of St. Louis and authorized the formation of the Anglican Church in North America. Despite the plans for a united church, the result was division into several Continuing Anglican churches: the Anglican Catholic Church, the Anglican Province of Christ the King and the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada. These continuing churches are described by the Affirmation of St. Louis as maintaining the American Episcopal church rather than breaking away from it, since it was the Episcopal Church in the United States of America which introduced the changes seen as departing from commitment to scripture, the Anglican tradition, and the "One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. " Theological liberalism and ordination of women are not the only reasons for the split, but are seen, by these churches as further evidence of the mainline church's departure from Anglican orthodoxy .
  • El Congress of St. Louis de 1977 fue una reunion de anglicanos quienes rechazaban la ordinación de mujeres para el sacerdocio. Fue convocada en respuesta a las decisiones tomadas por la Iglesia Episcopal quienes aprobaron la ordenación de mujeres y realizaron una fuertes reformas al Libro de Oración Común. Como un resultado de querer mantener la tradición Apostolica según la cual solo los hombres pueden ser sacerdotes, y el uso exclusivo de formas litúrgicas históricas de la Iglesia Anglicana, se fundó la Iglesia Anglicana de Estados Unidos. Por 1978, cuatro obispos fueron consagrados, y luego la iglesia se separó en tres igleses, la Iglesia Anglicana Católica, la Anglicana Providencia de Cristo Rey y la Iglesia Anglicana Católica de Canada.
