===Episcopalian / Anglican === {{see also|Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans|Continuing Anglican Movement}} Originating at the first [[Global Anglican Future Conference]] in 2008, the [[Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans]] (GAFCON) encompasses approximately 40 million Confessing Anglicans around the world. It includes [[Anglican Communion]]-recognized provinces in [[Anglican Church of South America|Argentina, Bolivia]], [[Anglican Church of Chile|Chile]], [[Province of the Anglican Church of the Congo|the Democratic Republic of the Congo]], [[Anglican Church of Kenya|Kenya]], [[Church of the Province of Myanmar|Myanmar]], [[Church of Nigeria|Nigeria]], [[Anglican Church of South America|Paraguay, Peru]], [[Province of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan|South Sudan]], [[Church of Uganda|Uganda]], and [[Anglican Church of South America|Uruguay]]. GAFCON also encompasses as full members provinces in [[Anglican Church in Brazil|Brazil]], [[Anglican Network in Europe|Europe]], and [[Anglican Church in North America|North America]] that are not recognized by the [[Archbishop of Canterbury|Canterbury]]-aligned structures of the Anglican Communion. GAFCON members also include individual confessing dioceses in [[Anglican Diocese of Sydney|Australia]], [[Church of the Province of West Africa|Ghana]], and [[Anglican Church of Tanzania|Tanzania]], as well as preexisting Anglican breakaway churches such as the [[Reformed Episcopal Church]], the [[Free Church of England]], and [[Reformed Evangelical Anglican Church of South Africa|REACH-SA]], as well as more recent structures such as the Church of Confessing Anglicans Aotearoa/New Zealand and the [[Diocese of the Southern Cross]].<ref name="gafcon-members">{{cite web |title=Global Movement |url=https://www.gafcon.org/about/global-movement |website=Gafcon Global Anglicans |access-date=29 September 2022}}</ref> One forerunner of the [[Anglican Church in North America]] was the [[American Anglican Council]], which included members of both the mainline [[Episcopal Church in the United States of America|Episcopal Church]] and the eventual ACNA. The council states: {{quote|Here are the facts about the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA) as it currently exists. It is a Church that is no longer in relationship with the majority of Anglicans worldwide. It is a Church that no longer turns to [[Bible|Holy Scripture]] for its guidance. It is a Church that has chosen the ways of man over the ways of God. It is a church that has undermined the institution of marriage. It is a church with which many worldwide Christian denominations have broken relations. It is a church that has lost its heart and soul and its commitment to making disciples and proclaiming the [[good news (religion)|good news]] of Jesus Christ.}} Still working within The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America is the Episcopal Fellowship for Renewal, which aims to restore what it sees as theological orthodoxy in the denomination.<ref name="Wingfield2023"/>
