The Anglican Parishes Association is an organization founded in 1981 by the then Right Reverend William O. Lewis to publish prayer books, missals, devotional books, tracts, calendars, and other materials to serve the religious, educational, and liturgical needs of the Anglican Catholic Church, its members, and other interested persons. The proceeds from sales are devoted to the costs of publication, distribution and charitable giving. APA is the official publisher for the Anglican Catholic Church. It operates out of Athens, Georgia.
