Anglican Church in North America

===Anglican Mission and PEARUSA===
The Anglican Mission in the Americas was a founding member of the Anglican Church in North America and, at the same time, maintained its status as a mission of the Church of the Province of Rwanda. This "dual citizenship" was defined by protocol among the Province of Rwanda, the Anglican Mission, and the ACNA.<ref>[http://www.theamia.org/am_cms_media/anglicanmissionprotocolforacnar1.pdf Protocol between Rwanda, the Anglican Mission, and the ACNA].

However, in a May 18, 2010, communiqué, the Anglican Mission announced its decision to transition from full ACNA membership to "ministry partner" status, a designation provided for in the governing structure of the ACNA, and remain a part of the Rwandan province. Reasons cited for the change were that the "dual citizenship" model had caused "significant confusion within the Anglican Mission and the ACNA regarding membership in two provinces, and more importantly, is inconsistent with the Constitution and Canons of the Province of the Anglican Church in Rwanda".<ref name=AMiAcommunique>[http://www.theamia.org/new/news/ The Anglican Mission's Relationship with the Anglican Church in North America], May 18, 2010.

On December 20, 2011, Archbishop Duncan announced that, due to the resignation of the majority of Anglican Mission bishops from the Province of Rwanda on December 5, the Anglican Mission had lost its "ministry partner" status with the ACNA and that most of AMiA's bishops had lost their status in the ACNA's College of Bishops.<ref>Archbishop Duncan, [http://www.anglicanchurch.net/?/main/page/342 "A Pastoral Letter"], December 20, 2011. Accessed December 21, 2011.</ref> Archbishop [[Onesphore Rwaje]] of the [[Anglican Church of Rwanda]] and Archbishop Duncan of the Anglican Church in North America issued a Joint Communiqué on April 28, 2012, to address the future of the AMiA. Meanwhile, the House of the Bishops of Rwanda decided to establish the Missionary District in North America ([[PEARUSA]]) to pursue the same work in the United States. The AMiA members were given three alternatives: join the PEARUSA, join another Anglican jurisdiction through letters dimissory, or remain in the AMiA. A deadline of August 31, 2012, was established for the clergy and the congregations of the AMiA to decide their future.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.anglicanink.com/article/joint-communiqu%C3%A9-archbishop-rwaje-pear-and-archbishop-duncan-anglican-church |title=Joint Communiqué from Archbishop Rwaje of P.E.A.R. and Archbishop Duncan of the Anglican Church, April 28, 2012, Anglican Ink |access-date=May 18, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120508175139/http://anglicanink.com/article/joint-communiqu%C3%A9-archbishop-rwaje-pear-and-archbishop-duncan-anglican-church |archive-date=May 8, 2012 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> On April 29, 2012, Archbishop [[Henri Isingoma]] expressed his official approval for the temporary admission of the AMiA at the [[Anglican Church of Congo]] until its future was clarified.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://geoconger.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/congo-to-give-a-temporary-home-to-the-amia-the-church-of-england-newspaper-april-29-2012-p-7/|title=Congo to give a temporary home to the AMiA: The Church of England Newspaper, April 29, 2012 p 7|work=Conger|date=May 4, 2012|access-date=October 5, 2015}}</ref> Bishop [[Chuck Murphy (bishop)|Chuck Murphy]], of the AMiA, expressed his will that the fracture between the AMiA and the ACNA could be solved in an answer letter to Archbishop Duncan, on September 8, 2012.

On August 14, 2014, it was announced the reopening of conversations between ACNA and AMiA "to discuss broken relationships, and to find ways that produce a faithful witness to Christ that has been undermined in the past". The meeting in which these conversations were started was attended by representatives of both ACNA and AMiA, including Archbishop Foley Beach and Bishop Philip Jones, who replaced Chuck Murphy in December 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anglicanchurch.net/?/main/page/1088|title=Anglican Church in North America|work=anglicanchurch.net|access-date=October 5, 2015}}</ref>

[[PEARUSA]] was a missionary district with equivalent status to a diocese. Upon the unanimous vote of ACNA's Provincial Council on June 21, 2016, PEARUSA was fully transferred to ACNA with two of the three former PEARUSA networks (Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, West) becoming full ACNA dioceses known respectively as the [[Anglican Diocese of Christ Our Hope]] and the [[Anglican Diocese of the Rocky Mountains]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://anglicanchurch.net/?/main/page/1254|title=Anglican Church in North America|website=anglicanchurch.net|access-date=June 22, 2016}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web|url=http://www.adhope.org/#!provincial-council-report/vatoi|title=Anglican Diocese of Christ Our Hope{{!}}HOME|website=Anglican Diocese of Christ Our Hope{{!}}HOME|access-date=July 25, 2016}}</ref> The former PEARUSA Southeast network did not become a full, separate ACNA diocese.
