The Anglican Church of Canada (ACC or ACoC) is the province of the Anglican Communion in Canada.[2] The official French-language name is l'Église anglicane du Canada.[3][4] In 2022, the Anglican Church counted 294,931 members on parish rolls in 1,978 congregations, organized into 1,498 parishes.[1][5] The 2021 Canadian census counted 1,134,315 self-identified Anglicans (3.1 percent of the total Canadian population), making the Anglican Church the third-largest Canadian church after the Catholic Church and the United Church of Canada.[6][7][8]
Like other Anglican churches, the Anglican Church of Canada's liturgy utilizes a native version of the Book of Common Prayer, the 1962 prayer book. An alternative liturgical resource was developed in 1985 titled the Book of Alternative Services, which has developed into the dominant liturgical book of the church.
Unlike in the United Kingdom, the current title of "Defender of the Faith" in the title of the Canadian sovereign does not officially refer to the Christian faith, or to the Anglican Church of Canada. However, two out of three Chapels Royal in Canada are consecrated Anglican chapels.
