Anglican Church in North America

===Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA)===
After the formation of the ACNA, the [[Church of Nigeria]] (Anglican Communion) entered into letters of agreement to formalize relationship between the two provinces. The most recent agreement signed by the ACNA and the Church of Nigeria related to three of the four dioceses that resulted from the [[Convocation of Anglicans in North America]] activity in the United States. The agreement signed on March 12, 2019, allowed for the [[Missionary Diocese of the Trinity]], the [[Missionary Diocese of CANA East]], and the [[Missionary Diocese of CANA West]] to decide their own provincial affiliation. This agreement became necessary as the result of a dispute generated by the election by the Church of Nigeria of four suffragan bishops for the Missionary Diocese of the Trinity, composed mostly of Nigerian expatriates in the United States, without consultation with the ACNA College of Bishops. Until this time, the Church of Nigeria had allowed all four CANA dioceses to be full participating members of the ACNA.<ref>{{cite web |title=Church of Nigeria, Anglican Church in North America Reach Agreement on CANA Dioceses ? |url=http://anglicanchurch.net/?/main/page/1840 |website=Anglican Church in North America |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001035923/http://anglicanchurch.net/?/main/page/1840 |archive-date=October 1, 2019 |url-status=dead}}</ref> On May 21, 2019, the Missionary Diocese of CANA East announced its decision to withdraw from the Church of Nigeria to become solely a diocese of the Anglican Church in North America, with the new name of the [[Anglican Diocese of the Living Word]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://anglican.ink/2019/05/21/cana-east-withdraws-from-the-church-of-nigeria/|title=CANA East withdraws from the Church of Nigeria &#124; Anglican Ink © 2023|website=anglican.ink}}</ref> The Diocese of CANA West announced their decision to remain a diocese of the Church of Nigeria on May 23, 2019, followed by the Missionary Diocese of the Trinity on the same day. The dioceses remaining with the Church of Nigeria are, by the agreement, considered ministry partners (a formal canonical status) of the ACNA.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://anglican.ink/2019/05/23/cana-west-leaves-acna/|title=CANA West leaves ACNA &#124; Anglican Ink © 2023|website=anglican.ink}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://anglican.ink/2019/05/24/cana-diocese-of-the-trinity-withdraws-from-acna/|title=CANA Diocese of the Trinity withdraws from ACNA &#124; Anglican Ink © 2023|website=anglican.ink}}</ref> The fourth diocese, the Diocese of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy (CANA), which had become the Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy (ACNA) in 2014 by a previous letter of agreement between the Church of Nigeria and the ACNA, was unaffected by this latter agreement since the previous agreement regarding Anglican Chaplains had been solidified through changes in the Canons of the ACNA. The Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy continues to function as a full diocesan entity of the ACNA, and in concordat with the Church of Nigeria (CANA).{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}
