USA "Anglican" vs. USA "Episcopal"

Yep. Most likely they are part of the Continuum.

Anglo-Catholic, most generally considered, is a “flavor” of Anglicanism. Not as wide-spread generally, as it was some years ago, but certainly still to be found in TEC (one in my town, was the primary source of the local Continuum Church). They follow, to some extent, the Tractarian/Oxford Movement and the slightly later Ritualist movement in the Church of England.

Do every one of these little churches think they are somehow “the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church”?

Not sure about the Continuum. The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) founded in 2009 is generally considered part of “Anglican Realignment” rather than Continuing Anglican. This is because it involves full TEC dioceses that left and “realigned” by joining with overseas Anglican provinces. ACNA’s stated goal is to one day replace the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada as the legitimate Anglican Communion province for North America. (More realistically, the Communion will break in two and the ACNA will become the North American province of the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans.)

They certainly don’t think of themselves as “the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church” but they would say they are a part of it. They carry on a lot of ecumenical dialogue with the Orthodox Church in America and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

A part thereof, yes.

Usual reservation as to motley Anglicans.

 

[GKMotley]

Yep. With usual caveat.
