With apparent reference to my previous blog entry:
On the term ‘Anglican Catholic’: in the United States ‘Anglican Catholic’ is a registered service mark of the Anglican Catholic Church. That is, it is the ACC's property and may not be used by others without infringing on the ACC's rights. The term is also protected internationally in many places under the Madrid Protocol. The ACC registered its name in part with the experience of the Roman Catholic Church in mind. ‘Roman Catholic’ was not registered by the Roman Church, and people with no connection to the papacy are free to call themselves, misleadingly, Roman Catholic. The ACC has no wish to be unfriendly or difficult. The name ‘Anglican Church of North America’ was used by the ACC long before ACNA came along and is preserved in our Constitution and Canons. Since we did not actively use the ACNA name, however, we made and make no objection to its use by others. But we do object when others use ‘Anglican Catholic’ and, particulary when the use is by ecclesial bodies with no relation to us, insist on our service mark rights.
Thanks for letting me know, Your Grace. I had a discussion with Fr. Munn a few months ago in which the term "Anglican Catholic" appeared to be used in a more generic sense, as a synonym, I thought, for "Anglo-Catholic." I appreciate your setting the record straight.
