The former bishop ordinary of the ACCA, John Hepworth, was also the primate of the Traditional Anglican Communion (now called the Traditional Anglican Church).
Archbishop Hepworth resigned as bishop ordinary of the ACCA on 2 August 2012.
Some priests of the ACCA have joined the Australian Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, along with some of their people. Despite the corporate petitions to Rome, Anglicanorum Coetibus did not make any provisions for the reception of entire ecclesial bodies. Some clergy and parishes remained in the ACCA and on 18 October 2013 (the 25th anniversary of the consecration of Albert Haley, the first bishop ordinary of the ACCA) a new bishop ordinary, Michael Pope, was consecrated for the ACCA in Lincoln, England, in the same ceremony in which Ian Gray was consecrated for the Traditional Anglican Church in Britain.
