The American Anglican Church (AAC) is a Continuing Anglican jurisdiction that counts at present thirteen parishes and missions in North America, many of which serve the Kenyan diaspora population (in the United States). It was founded later in the history of the Continuing Anglican movement, ultimately deriving from controversies in the Episcopal Church. These were over the ordination of women to the priesthood, liberal or progressive theology, and a new revision of the Book of Common Prayer (adopted in 1979). Holy Innocents Anglican Church in New York serves as the AAC headquarters.
