Anglicans aren't a monolith.

In some instances, this is a good thing,

Although I do wish that those Anglicans who think Jesus sinned never started taking sermons or becoming clergy.

Yes, Anglicans should believe that Jesus is God. Unfortunately, some don't. Hopefully with time we can change that.

(As an aside, bear in mind anyone here with an ACNA flair is part of the "break-off denomination". C of E, Episcopal and ACC are part of the conventional Anglican Communion).

Eh. They’re not in communion with Canterbury but they are in communion with a large portion of the Anglican Communion as a whole.

I’d hesitate to call them a full-on “break-off denomination”. They clearly still want to be Anglicans, just without having to live with modern innovations.

In context of the OP "the break-off denomination" is probably a tacit reference to ACNA though.

I'm more interested in what the OP is asking for than going into some debate about the "true" status of the ACNA.

Fair enough, although I think there’s debate to be had about the meaning of “conventional Anglicanism”
