The Anglican Journal is the national newspaper of the Anglican Church of Canada. It has an independent editorial policy and is published with oversight of the Communications Co-ordinating Committee under the authority of the General Synod. The Anglican Journal is published once a month, except for July and August. It acts as a distribution vehicle for 19 regional or “diocesan” newspapers. It is a member of the Canadian Church Press and the Associated Church Press and often wins awards for its journalism.
First published in 1875 as Dominion Churchman and later as Canadian Churchman, the Anglican Journal has a long and respected history. Historically, it operated under the guidance of a Board of Trustees, then an Advisory Board. In 2001, The Anglican Journal was separately incorporated and operated under the guidance of the Anglican Journal Board, but still reported to General Synod. The Anglican Journal Corporation was dissolved in 2012, at which time the Council of General Synod created the Committee for the Anglican Journal, which became a Co-ordinating Committee. In March 2019, the Anglican Journal Co-ordinating Committee was merged with the Communications and Information Co-ordinating Committee to form the Communications Co-ordinating Committee.
