 The AOSEC would also fall under the directives of the Continuing Anglican movement, also known as the Anglican Continuum, or Traditionalist Anglicanism, which encompasses a number of Christian churches in various countries that are Anglican in faith, history, and practice while remaining outside the official Anglican Communion.These churches generally believe that traditional forms of Anglican faith and worship have been unacceptably revised or abandoned within some Anglican Communion churches in recent decades.They claim, therefore, that they are "continuing" or preserving Anglicanism's line of Apostolic Succession as well as historic Anglican belief and practice.
