JAC Journal of The Anglican Church ™
JAC: Journal of The Anglican Church ™
The Official Peer-Reviewed Theological Organ of the Worldwide Anglican Church
(WAC)
Welcome to JAC ™
Rooted in the rich historical tradition initiated by Bishop George Alexander McGuire in
1921, JAC: Journal of The Anglican Church ™ serves as the global theological voice for the
Anglican Council of the Worldwide Anglican Church. We publish rigorous, peer-reviewed scholarship that bridges
ancient liturgical orthodoxy with active, conservative biblical faith.
Our Editorial Mandate
The Journal of The Anglican Church (JAC) is dedicated to advancing classical
Anglo-Catholic and Orthodox theology, canon law, and missional strategy. Our pages explore the unique intersection
of rigorous liturgical tradition and modern biblical evangelism. Reflecting the multi-racial and globally diverse
footprint of the WAC, we welcome perspectives from scholars trained in historic Anglicanism, as well as those who
have entered into our communion via Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, or other traditional paths.
