Find an Anglican Church

Many people are leaving the Episcopal Church. That's not really news. But many are leaving sadly at the moment. They love the Anglican way of worship. The Anglican way is not really just something one does at a particular Sunday service but it is really way of life that seeks to honor God. People love it. I like it. To worship by the BCP is to orient one's life around God by honoring Him through reading the Scriptures, praying without ceasing and celebrating the work of God in the church. It's organized and beautiful.

With so many leaving they are looking for a new church in the Anglican tradition. This link leads to a map showing churches in the Anglican tradition that are not a part of ECUSA, or as they now prefer to be known The Episcopal Church (TEC), but are under the auspices of more orthodox bishops. The title of the page is actually "Find an AMiA Church" but it also lists churches affiliated with Nigeria, Kenya, Southern Cone, Uganda and Brazil.

That's certainly not to say that all TEChurches are bad or heterodox but they are not on this map.

I find it interesting that the majority of these churches are along the eastern seaboard from NYC south and heavily in the southeast. There is one in upstate NY located about an hour and a half from me on the south side of Syracuse.

I wonder if the majority of them being in the southeast is merely a result of a handful getting started there which mushroomed into more. Or is it a reaction to churches in the southern evangelical tradition? What makes that southeastern culture attracted to the Anglican way? It's possible they're just a bunch of displaced northerners but I doubt that's it. Any ideas?
