Confused

I am confussed by reding this article. Firstly how come when CSI & CNI was formed in communion with Anglican church still the Anglican choose to exsist as Anglical Church of India independently. How's that possible? Secondly, if Anglical Church which continue to exist before CNI & CSI formed then why it joint in union of the CNI &CSI ? and then Anglican Church reorganised in India? Thirdly the Anglican Church head has always been the Queen of England. Has she given rights to continue as Anglican Church in India even knowing that she has jointed with CSI & CNI church union.

I am a bit confused by the grammar. There are many self-described Anglican churches that are not part of the Anglican Communion which the Archbishop of Canterbury heads. Some are part of the Continuing Anglican movement. The Queen of England is the head of the Church of England, but is not the head of all Anglican Communion churches. For instance the Episcopal Church in the United States, which is in communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury, is independent of the Queen. Indeed, within the Anglican Communion, each national church is independent. The US church does not answer to the Church of England. There is no "Rome" or singular head of the Anglican Communion.

Answers: 1. CSI is an union of Anglicans, Methodists, German Basel Missions, Lutherans etc. There was a compromise in the Common Prayer Book. This lead to the formation of several distinct Anglican Church of India. Several Anglican parishes and dioceses have left the CNI and CSI because they did not want to compromise on their faith. 2. Queen of England is no longer recognized as the head of Anglican Churches in several Independent nations. In United States and India, for example, the heads of the Anglican Churches including ECUSA, ACNA, CSI and CNI are their own Bishops. No one now requires the permission of the Queen of England to separate from the Anglican Communion and exist as a separate Anglican Church. Anglicanism is a denomination now and not a jurisdiction under the Queen of England. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vjstephen (talk • contribs) 04:28, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Traditional Anglican Communion

Is this church in communion with the Traditional Anglican Communion? Will it be joining the Roman Catholic Church and become a new Anglican Ordinariate? By impression is that the answer to both question is "Yes." --Bruce Hall (talk) 05:57, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Their website answers by question: [1] --Bruce Hall (talk) 05:58, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: Anglican Church of India is not in communion with the Traditional Anglican Communion. But Bishop Hepworth influenced some members including Bishops and Clergy in the ACI and lead them to form another Anglican Church of India under Bishop Prakash. This new version of ACI is in communion with TAC and are also in the process of becoming an Anglican Ordinariate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vjstephen (talk • contribs) 04:20, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are two different bodies with the same name? Are we mixing it

Look at this websites [2] and this one [3]. The second is undoubtly the TAC affiliate in India, lead by Prakash, the first is lead by Vattapparaya; and i'm affraid the article has contents from both (not privy enough to discern). Could anyone confirm? --Wllacer (talk) 11:39, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: The ACI lead by Bp. Vattappara is the continuing Anglican Church and the one lead by Bp. Prakash is the one joining the Holy See. Both churches uses the same name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vjstephen (talk • contribs) 04:22, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

neither of these links works. The ACI is listed at the Tradiational Anglican Communion article as a member church. This perhaps needs clearing up by someone who knows what is going on. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:44, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
