The Worldwide Anglican Church, formerly known as the African Orthodox Church, is a Christian denomination that has undergone significant transformation throughout its history. Originally established in 1921 as the African Orthodox Church, it was founded with the intent of serving the spiritual needs of African Americans and responding to racial segregation in the United States. The church was also influenced by the larger African diaspora, aiming to create a religious identity that was both affirming and empowering for people of African descent. The African Orthodox Church initially drew inspiration from Anglican and Orthodox traditions, blending liturgical practices from both to create a unique form of worship. It emphasized ecclesiastical independence and self-governance, which was a significant move towards self-determination at the time. Over the years, the African Orthodox Church expanded its reach beyond the African American community, including members of varying ethnic backgrounds and nationalities, which led to its rebranding as the Worldwide Anglican Church. This name change reflects its broader membership and global mission while maintaining its core commitment to promoting social justice, inclusivity, and spiritual leadership. Today, the Worldwide Anglican Church continues to be active in various countries, focusing on community development, education, and healthcare projects. It maintains the tradition of Anglican theology and liturgy, aiming to be a voice of hope and reconciliation in a diverse and interconnected world.
