Once personal ordinariate is approved, St. George Church in Rogers will become the first Anglican-use parish in Diocese of Little Rock
St. George Anglican Church in Rogers is one of 100 traditionalist Anglican parishes in the United States seeking to join the Catholic Church as a group.
According to Father Bob Hall, pastor of St. George Anglican Church, the small parish of 17 members was established in 2004 when the ordination of women and the ordination of an openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church came into the public spotlight.
The Traditional Anglican Communion, which St. George Church belongs, is a group of churches that separated from the worldwide Anglican Communion in 1991. It claims 400,000 members worldwide, including Australia, Canada, Puerto Rico and England. To read more, click here.

This is a sad article.
The blind leading the blind.They know nothing about the real origins of Anglicanism.Either the cleric ofr the convert.
I do hope Rome will be discerning with clerics like this, and if he is accepted , subjected to serious clerical re-training . As for the TAC having 400,000 members.. I reckon that worldwide they have less than ten thousand. Bearing in mind the Anglican Church in America ( not be confused with ACNA)the branch of TAC in the USA has pulled out and the Canadian and Australian TAC churches have less than 300 between them.
2 Episcopal congregations out of 7,200want to join the Ordinariate..and one Anglican church of Canada parish out of 1,700!
