Assessment
Christ the Redeemer Anglican is an ACNA congregation in Fairfax, VA under Rector Dean Schultz in the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic. ACNA was formed as a breakaway from the Episcopal Church to preserve biblical Anglicanism — it holds to the authority of Scripture, the orthodox creeds, the Nicene faith, and biblical complementarianism (male eldership). The church follows the Sunday liturgy in the Book of Common Prayer including psalm-singing, Scripture readings, preaching, the Lord's Table, and intercessory prayer. Currently meeting primarily online via Zoom, which limits in-person community building. For men who value liturgical Anglican worship rooted in Scripture with ACNA accountability, this is a sound option — though the online-primary format warrants verification of current in-person fellowship opportunities.
