One puzzling issue is the difference between what is now called the Reformed Episcopal Church Diocese of the West and the ACNA's Diocese of Western Anglicans. I've been trying to track down certain events connected with the former St Luke's Reformed Episcopal Church in Santa Ana, CA, which closed in 2012. For whatever reason, the REC-DOW says St Luke's was never part of that diocese, which makes me wonder if what is now called the REC-DOW is actually just the former churches in the APA-DOW that went into the REC in 2008. Meanwhile, is the ACNA Diocese of Western Anglicans largely made up of former REC parishes? (And of course, this is not the same thing as the ACNA Diocese of San Joaquin, made up largely of former TEC parishes.)
Update: the Diocese of Western Anglicans was founded new in 2009, as part of the ACNA, containing mostly former TEC parishes, but not those in the ACNA Diocese of San Joaquin. However, this leaves open the question of what diocese had jurisdiction over St Luke's REC Santa Ana, CA, before it closed in 2012, and especially during certain events in 2009.
Can anyone provide any clarification here?
