The Orthodox Anglican Communion has a branch in Nigeria--the Gospel Anglican Church of Nigeria. I have not been able to ascertain whether this is the church to which the first article refers. The OAC was formed in 1969 and therefore predates the Continuing Anglican Movement. It is an outgrowth of the Orthodox Anglican Church. The latter was founded by James Parker Dees as a conservative alternative to the Episcopal Church in 1964. Dees himself was 'Low Church' but the Orthodox Anglican Church would attract a number of clergy and laity who did not share his principles. The Orthodox Anglican Church experienced a split in the 1990s when its Presidng Bishop Robert Godfrey and the majority of its clergy and laity decided to align the beliefs and practices of the church with those of the predominantly Anglo-Catholic Continuing Anglican Movement.
