Assessment

All Saints Anglican is a standout conservative Anglican congregation in Ivy, just west of Charlottesville. Father Sean McDermott leads a parish rooted in the Anglican Province of America — a body that explicitly departed from the theologically liberal Episcopal Church (TEC) to maintain orthodox Christianity. The parish is notably associated with Ken Myers, founder of Mars Hill Audio Journal, as choir director — giving it an unusual depth of cultural and theological engagement. The APA ordains men only, holds to the 39 Articles, and maintains the historic Book of Common Prayer tradition. For a man drawn to liturgical worship, ancient prayer traditions, and sound orthodox theology, All Saints is exceptional. Note: APA is distinct from both TEC (liberal) and ACNA (the other Anglican break).
