“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was
founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been
afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.” Patrick Henry

Article the third… Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech.. Christian Betrayal By The Rt. Rev. Larry W. Johnson, Archbishop, Anglican Church of Virginia, Virginia Communion, International Provinces of the Anglican Church International Communion. Such is the audacity of man that he would counterfeit God and be so bold as to challenge His work.( 7 ) We who are alive today must do whatever it takes to see that our children have the opportunity to live in a country that embraces individual freedom, propagates wholesome living, ensures free enterprise, fosters high moral and Spiritual standards, does not hinder freedom of worship, espouses law and order, protects life, liberty and the “pursuit of happiness” that only a Judeo-Christian Nation can secure and where government, as Lincoln proclaimed, is “…of the people, by the people, for the people, (and) shall not perish from the earth (6).” IT IS TIME FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION THAT AFFIRMS THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Proposing this is not without precedent. A successful society, one that endures, must have common laws, a common language, and common moral values accompanied by common hopes and aspirations. |
| In a stormy sea of change. We are a rock during these unsettled times. We represent a new Anglican Communion called the Anglican Church International Communion. We are not a part of the Episcopal Church, nor the Church of England. We have made significant progress and invite those who of not only preserving, but expanding our faith handed down to us by Cranmer, Riley, Latimer and Laud: all who gave their lives for our Anglican Faith. Our Mission is simple: reach souls for Jesus. We are a Church serving Anglicans of Virginia and around the world to worship in the tradition of men like George Washington and other founders of our Nation. We continue the Faith first brought to our shores and established by Captain John Smith and the Rev. Robert Hunt who came to Jamestown Island in 1607. We use only the traditional 1928 Book of Common Prayer taken from the original 1549,1552 and 1559, Thomas Cranmer's Books of Common Prayer. We are growing and want to assist you in forming a parish. The new Anglican Seminary of Virginia is educating men for the priesthood. And seeks men called to His ministry. Join Us! |

| Click here for the full text of Who We Are?" Who are we? We are followers of Jesus Christ. Our faith is an ancient one dating back to the times of Jesus and His Apostles, predating Rome. Our history is traced to the British Isles beginning according to the ancient historians when Joseph of Arimathea visited his tin mines at Glastonbury, England bringing the Holy Grail. Joseph was the man who gave his tomb to Jesus to be buried. The first written mention of Christians in Britain is by Tertullian about 200 AD. He writes of "parts of Britain, inaccessible to the Roman, which had yet been conquered by Christ." Origin writes forty years later that in Britain are "Christians to be found." Evident is abundant confirming this in archaeological discoveries. Our faith was first brought to Roanoke Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina (USA) in 1587. This colony would become the "Lost Colony." In 1607 Anglicans would settle the first permanent Colony at Jamestown. (Click here for "What We Believe") |

| The Cornerstones of Our Faith. The Holy Bible, the Word of God, unchanged and unchanging forms our foundation, sets our boundaries and gives us an understanding of Him and His relationship to us. The traditional 1928 Book of Common Prayer is our guide to our Spiritual growth strengthening our Anglican life as Christians and directing our Bible study and daily prayers. It provides a sure path in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Our daily prayers said from the Book of Common Prayer keeps us in a strong relationship with Jesus, and points the Way to God protecting us from the temptation of Satan and the world. The 1940 Hymnal contains our praise and worship music which we use. It does not allow man's interpretation to lead us astray. |
| The Mission of our Church. The first goal of the Church is to lead men and women to Christ in order that they may be Saved and the second is to carryout the Great Commission of taking Christ to the World. The Anglican Faith since its beginning has done this. What we seek to do in Virginia, the United States and around the World is to offer a Faith that is true to the Bible and based upon the Faith of Christ and the Apostles . We in Virginia are committed to mission outreach, education and bringing the Saving Grace of Christ to His people through the Sacraments. In Virginia we are focusing on the Shenendoah Valley and are establishing missions and parishes. You do not have to be an Anglican or born into an Anglican family but we are seeking men to serve as priests and readers and families to establish parishes. We want women to teach the children and families. - Larry W. Johnson, Bishop |
| About Us and the Anglican Way. Where ever the Traditional Anglican Faith is practiced it provides the ROCK in the storms of life. It appeals to those who desire to serve God beyond themselves and to bringing Christ to all God's people. Where it is practiced it brings order to chaos. It brings healing to the broken and salvation to the sinner and lost. But, it is the order and call to duty that is the overriding quality that we learn. Anglicans are strong in Jesus and when after picking up their Cross they unfailingly follow Him. IF you are seeking to join us and to work hard for Christ Call us or email. We will assist in every way possible to bring you into an Anglican Church or mission. We pray for continuing Anglican bishops with whom we may unite the continuing movement. Read the Plan for Unitas concerning this goal. |

| 2. This article, The Role of the Priest or Traditional Worship vs. Heresy and Witchcraft. Click and Read Abandonment of the historic role of the priest is the major reason we find the Church losing influence, membership dropping; people not looking to the Church for guidance, moral standards for living, and comfort in the trying times in which we live. The Church of God must have a new, dedicated tough minded priest who loves Christ and is Jesus Christ to the people. When he steps to the Altar he must know it is Christ who brings the Power. In the pulpit the priest must be on fire for the Lord; unafraid of man but in awe and fear of God. It is the Souls of his congregation that are at risk and his own! His Cure shall and must be saved." +L. Johnson, Bishop |

| Sister Sara Mary Takes Vows |
| The United States of America A Christian Nation? |
| In May of 1611 the Authorized Version of the Bible was introduced into the Church of England. Without doubt this is the most important book ever published. Its unparalleled value in bringing the Christian Faith to the world is unquestioned and has been the world's standard for worship, guidance, knowledge and spreading the Gospel of Christ.. |
| 2011-400th Anniversary of King James Version of the Bible |
| It was unrivalled between 1611 to the 1950's when other translations began to appear, but it continues to be the Book of all books as the one Ordained of God according to this Anglican Bishop. Some modernist claim it hard to read because of its beautiful Elizabethan English. It is this, that causes it to endure. It is the Bible read in public worship in the Anglican Church of Virginia. I encourage that during this 400th Anniversary Year its history and critical importance be taught. As descendants of those who translated this wonderful Holy Bible we must do our duty to pass it on to our children, grandchildren and "unto all nations." +L.Johnson |
