The Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) is a missionary body of the Church of Nigeria. It is in a ministry partnership with the Anglican Church in North America but no longer affiliated with it in any way. Founded in 2005, it is composed primarily of churches that have disaffiliated from the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (ECUSA). CANA was initially a missionary initiative of the Anglican Church of Nigeria for Nigerians living in the United States. It joined several other church bodies in the formation of the Anglican Church in North America in 2009. In 2012, it launched his first offshoot diocese in the United States, the Missionary Diocese of the Trinity, a dual jurisdiction of the Church of Nigeria and ACNA. Today CANA is made up of two Dioceses: the Anglican Diocese of the West led by Bishop Felix Orji and the Anglican Diocese of the Trinity led by Bishop Amos Fagbamiye. In May 2019, this dual jurisdiction arrangement was terminated, though the two organizations are still in an informal ministry partnership. The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh appointed Bishop Felix Orji as the Missionary Bishop of CANA in May 2019.
