This site is dedicated to the traditional Anglican expression of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We profess the orthodox Christian Faith enshrined in the three great Creeds and the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the ancient undivided Church. We celebrate the Seven Sacraments of the historic Church. We cherish and continue the Catholic Revival inaugurated by the Tractarian or Oxford Movement. Not tepid centrist Anglicanism.

Walter Howard Grundorf, Bishop in the Church of God, requiescat in pace
15th February 2026
Quinquagesima Sunday
Dearly beloved in Christ,
With the greatest sense of sadness and personal loss, it is my onerous duty to inform everyone that the Most Reverend Walter Howard Grundorf, DD, Presiding Bishop Emeritus of the Anglican Province of America and Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of the Eastern United States, entered eternal life today at 12.48pm EST after a courageous and valiant fight against cancer.
Words simply fail to express what Bishop Grundorf, our Most Reverend Father in God, our Apostle, and the chief priest and pastor of this Province and Diocese for decades, means to all of us. In this heartbreaking moment, we can only thank Our Lord and Saviour for the gift to us of Bishop Grundorf, and for all that he was to and for us, and for all that he has done for the Kingdom of God.
Of your Christian charity, pray for the blessed repose of the consecrated soul of Walter Howard Grundorf, Bishop in the Church of God, and for the comfort and peace of his wife Mary, his four wonderful sons and their families, and everyone affected by Bishop Grundorf's passing from this life.
It is appropriate that Bishop Grundorf should go to our heavenly Father on this particular day, Quinquagesima, wherein we remember the theological virtue of love given from the God of love, charity, the love of God for His own sake and the love of others for the sake of God. For Bishop Grundorf loved us all so very, very much, each and every one, and in his life embodied that love which is at the heart of Our Lord and of our holy Faith.
Soon, much information will be provided about funeral arrangements. Meanwhile, let us offer this prayer for Bishop Grundorf.
O God, who hast made thy servant Walter to flourish among the Ministers of Apostolic Succession in the honourable office of a Bishop: grant, we beseech thee, that he may also be joined with thine Apostles in a perpetual fellowship. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Thank you so very much and God bless you.
In Our Blessed Lord,
