ACNA Archbishop Suspended Amid Investigation
Faith Facts
- ACNA Archbishop Stephen Wood is suspended from ministry for 60 days as an investigation into abuse allegations continues.
- Church leaders emphasize the suspension does not imply guilt or innocence and is meant to aid the integrity of the process.
- The Anglican Church in North America, founded in 2009, represents over 1,000 churches committed to biblical principles.
The Archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America, Stephen Wood, has been temporarily suspended from all ministry duties while an independent inquiry investigates serious allegations against him.
This 60-day suspension, announced by ACNA leadership, was supported by five senior bishops and is meant to uphold fairness and integrity as the process unfolds.
The Right Rev. Julian M. Dobbs clarified, “This action does not determine guilt or innocence, nor does it pre-judge any allegation or future proceeding.”
Members of the Standing Committee of the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina advocated for this step, stressing the need for a process free from interference so the truth may come to light.
Last month, an article raised concerns about Wood’s conduct as rector at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, bringing allegations of sexual misconduct and financial impropriety to the forefront of the investigation.
A formal complaint, supported by four presbyters and seven lay members, prompted a board of inquiry to review these claims thoroughly.
The Most Rev. Ray Sutton announced Wood’s voluntary leave and will oversee the archbishop’s responsibilities during this season of reflection for the ACNA.
Sutton encouraged believers to lift up the church and all involved in prayer, stating, “Let us keep in mind that God works all things together for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).”
Founded in 2009, ACNA stands strong as a denomination built on fidelity to God’s Word, with a deep commitment to truth and justice as these events are prayerfully considered.
Let’s continue to pray for all affected and trust God’s wisdom to guide the church as it seeks to uphold faith, transparency, and accountability.

- President Trump endorsed bill prohibiting states from enforcing child gender transitions without parental consent.
- Polls reveal 71% oppose puberty blockers or hormones for minors under 18.
- 1987 SNL skit ridiculed routine infant gender surgeries as absurd mutilation.
In the 2026 State of the Union, President Trump spotlighted protecting children from radical gender procedures lacking family approval.
This aligns with God’s design in Genesis 1:27, affirming male and female creation.
Trump stated plainly during the address.
“We will protect our children from this radical ideology. No state will be allowed to take kids from loving parents and push them into irreversible procedures.”
Republicans rose in applause, but Democrats stayed seated, prompting Trump’s retort: “These people are crazy.”
Such division echoes Proverbs 22:6, urging parents to train children in godly ways against state interference.
California’s AB 1955 hides school transitions from families, defying majority sentiment.
Rasmussen polls show 58% reject all minor transition procedures, prioritizing innocence.
Once parody on SNL, today’s practices betray biblical family values and patriotic freedoms.
Defend God’s order for children; urge Congress to pass parental rights protections today.

- Swedish Christian parents separated from daughters for nearly four years after state labeled faith-based rules on makeup and phones as “religious extremism.”
- Daughter retracted accusations, no abuse found, but girls remain in foster homes despite desiring reunion and facing health issues.
- European Court of Human Rights dismissed appeal, citing unexhausted Swedish remedies; authorities cited weekly church attendance as extremism evidence.
A Swedish couple’s nightmare continues as government overreach tears their family apart, punishing faithful parenting rooted in Christian values.
Daniel and Bianca Samson can visit their daughters only once monthly under supervision, even after clear investigations.
Swedish social services confirmed the parents’ fitness post-training, yet the state clings to its interference.
“Parents have the primary responsibility and right to raise their children. When the state interferes with family life based on values-based parenting choices or discrimination on the basis of faith, fundamental freedoms are at stake.”
“We deeply regret the court’s decision to reject this case, considering that this family has been torn apart for over three years despite a full investigation that cleared Mr. and Mrs. Samson of any abuse and the fact that the social services certified their capacity and fitness for parenting after they successfully completed an official training.”
“Families should be free to live according to their convictions without fear of losing their children to the state.”
