Announcement: The North American Anglican to Join American Reformer

The revival of pan-Protestant ecumenism that once defined this country is one of our aims at American Reformer. We want all faithful, orthodox Protestant churches and denominations, whether Baptist, Presbyterian, or Anglican to be healthy, dynamic, faithful to their confessions, and where appropriate, to cooperate for shared goals. Anglicanism, especially in the southern and middle colonies, in many ways shaped the face of American Protestantism and remains an important part of the Protestant constellation. It is, of course, noteworthy that our first president was a vestryman in this tradition. Many more founders could be listed.

In this spirit, we are pleased to announce that The North American Anglican (TNAA) is coming under the American Reformer umbrella. Many of our readers are Anglicans and will no doubt be familiar with TNAA and its dedication to resourcing historic Anglicanism and bringing that tradition to bear on the present. Over the past decade, under the able leadership of Jesse Nigro, TNAA has built up an extensive library of well-sourced, thoughtful pieces on a range of theological, historical, and social topics from various perspectives with the broader Anglican communion. TNAA truly has established itself as a reliable standard-bearer of historic Anglican orthodoxy.

As TNAA comes into the American Reformer fold, we hope to bolster their efforts and extend their reach through this partnership. Over the coming days you will notice updates to the TNAA site. Bear with us as we roll these out. Periodically, articles that are of interest to readers at TNAA and American Reformer may be featured at both sites. Other means of cooperation will doubtless become apparent as we move forward. To be clear, however, TNAA is remaining TNAA, in both content and leadership. Our goal here at American Reformer is not to change TNAA, but to facilitate its growth. If you are not a reader of TNAA already, go subscribe, and do read today’s editorial from Jesse Nigro, editor-in-chief of TNAA, to hear more about what TNAA is all about.
