FCA is not an ecclesial organization so nothing prevents TEC individuals and parishes from joining. This is what Phil Ashey had to say in the AAC Weekly Update that sheds some light on your question: “On Wednesday evening, I accompanied Bishops John Guernsey of ACNA and Mark Lawrence of South Carolina to Holy Trinity Claygate in the Diocese of Guildford. The Evangelical Society there hosted a gathering on “How can Anglicans in TEC and ACNA work together?” The session was recorded and you can find the whole program here. “I encourage you to listen to it - you will be blessed. Both Bishops spoke well as one might expect, but they also spoke well of each other, of their decisions and ministries, and of their friendship and mutual support. There were some very good questions at the end. The AAC provided background briefing for everyone who attended through our “Tearing the Fabric 2012” document. http://www.americananglican.org/tec-tearing-the-fabric-2012-edition “I believe this meeting was a milestone in encouraging Anglicans to come together and work for Gospel truth and Gospel mission in the days ahead, and a way forward together in the spiritual crisis that is currently besetting our Anglican Communion.” April 27, 4:41 pm | [comment link] |

“So, is membership in a TEC parish incompatible with membership in FCA? For TEC clergy, would joining FCA be seen as abandonment of TEC? “ Ralph, my understanding is that anyone willing to sign the Jerusalem Declaration can join FCA. Certainly, at no time have the Gafcon Primates or anyone else suggested that TEC membership would prohibit one from joining FCA. However, I believe you do have to be willing to sign on the the Jerusalem Declaration. Which would, almost by definition, change your relationship with your bishop (with a few notable exceptions) or clergy (again, with a few notable exceptions) if you are to stay true to what you signed. |

“Since there no longer is any law in TEC, there is no way to predict the reaction.” Indeed. I found, and have been going through, “Being Faithful,” which explains the Jerusalem Declaration (and events leading up to it) in some detail. It isn’t clear to me how GAFCON-FCA are allowing those with Anglo-Catholic tendencies to interpret the 39 Articles, particularly in areas of sacramental theology. While it would be interesting to know whether Bp Mark is officially a member of FCA, I’d wonder about Bps Jack Iker and Dan Martins. April 28, 8:48 am | [comment link] |

We will see whether TEC takes any action against +Lawrence. The fact is that he and +Howe took communion with the Global South Primates in April 2010, and the celebrant was ++Duncan of ACNA. This was well publicised at the time and afterwards, yet he wasn’t dismissed, deposed etc. As tjmcmahon points out, the attempt was made by some in TEC, but it lacked support. What +Lawrence has done now (apparently) is explain to British Anglicans how he can work within TEC, and at the same time have fellowship with +Guernsey of ACNA. In a sense there is nothing here that wasn’t already said and done in 2010.
It probably doesn’t matter whether he is himself a member, because in November 2008 the standing committee of the diocese of South Carolina resolved to subscribe to the Jerusalem Declaration, and to “affirm the reforming voice of the GAFCON movement within the Anglican Communion.” April 29, 3:29 am | [comment link] |

This issue was raised in July 2008. +Iker was at Gafcon and signed the original declaration. He made it clear that he did not consider that anglo-catholics would have a problem with the JD, the Articles of Religion or ACNA: April 29, 3:36 am | [comment link] |

Page 2 of the PDF has the statement, “Since 2008 the Primates of those Anglican Provinces who endorsed the Jerusalem Declaration have met regularly and recognized the Anglican Church in North America as a legitimate Province in the Anglican Communion.”
later on the same page is, “We note that The Episcopal Church USA and the Anglican Church of Canada are proceeding post-haste to approve same-sex blessing rites with total disregard for the conscience of their own members, for the moratoria mandated by the official Instruments of the Anglican Communion, and for the broken state of communion where more than half the world’s Anglicans are represented by the FCA.”
On page 3, there is the objective, “to invite Anglicans around the world to join FCA in order to serve Christ and his mission”
So, is membership in a TEC parish incompatible with membership in FCA? For TEC clergy, would joining FCA be seen as abandonment of TEC?
