===Impaired communion===
Bishop [[Jack Iker]] of [[Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth|Fort Worth]]—one of the founding members of ACNA—announced on 4 November 2017 that his diocese was in [[Full communion|impaired communion]] with the ACNA dioceses that ordained women.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fwepiscopal.org/bishop/bishop.html|title=The Bishop's Annual Address to the 35th Convention of the Diocese of Fort Worth Saturday, Nov. 4, 2017|last1=Iker|first1=Jack|publisher=The Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171121201940/http://fwepiscopal.org/bishop/bishop.html|archive-date=November 21, 2017|url-status=dead|access-date=November 21, 2017}}</ref> He said: "Most ACNA bishops and dioceses are opposed to women priests, but as it presently stands, the ACNA Constitution says each diocese can decide if it will ordain women priests or not. We now need to work with other dioceses to amend the Constitution to remove this provision". He continued: {{blockquote|We are in a state of impaired communion because of this issue. The Task Force concluded that "both sides cannot be right." At the conclave, I informed the College of Bishops that I will no longer give consent to the election of any bishop who intends to ordain female priests, nor will I attend the consecration of any such bishop-elect in the future. I have notified the Archbishop of my resignation from all the committees to which I had been assigned to signify that it is no longer possible to have "business as usual" in the College of Bishops due to the refusal of those who are in favor of women priests to at least adopt a moratorium on this divisive practice, for the sake of unity.  Bishops who continue to ordain women priests in spite of the received tradition are signs of disunity and division.}}
