The Jerusalem Declaration, The Constitution and Canons of the Anglican Church in North America, and the Constitution and Canons of the Gulf Atlantic Diocese are like the stones used by the Jews when they were rebuilding the wall surrounding Jerusalem that had been destroyed by the enemies of God's People as found in the Book of Nehemiah.

 "Now it came about that when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious and very angry and mocked the Jews. He spoke in the presence of his brothers and the wealthy men of Samaria and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore it for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they finish in a day? Can they revive the stones from the dusty rubble even the burned ones?" Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him and he said, "Even what they are building--if a fox should jump on it, he would break their stone wall down!"

Hear, O our God, how we are despised! Return their reproach on their own heads and give them up for plunder in a land of captivity. 　Do not forgive their iniquity and let not their sin be blotted out before You, for they have demoralized the builders. So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work."

Over the past thirty to forty years, the Episcopal Church along with her sister, the Anglican Church of Canada have through the actions of the Revisionists removed and destroyed the orthodox beliefs that once protected the People of God from the heresies spread by the Enemy of God's Holy Church. Like Jerusalem, the gates and the wall of the city were annihilated; allowing the Enemy of the Church to not only capture her, but to take her inhabitants into exile where other gods were worshiped. Devout members of the faith, even some of the elite, were fooled by the deceitfulness of the heresies and false teachings. Like the Jewish exiles of long ago, many of the orthodox found themselves in foreign lands where pagan idols were worshiped instead of the One True God, the Almighty Creator of the Universe.

Yet, God in His mercy heard the cries of the faithful remnant who wept over the demise of the once beautiful Anglican Church of God in North America. In His compassion, He raised up men and women of God to rebuild His Anglican Church from the very stones of orthodoxy that the Revisionists had burned and tossed away on the dung pile. These very stones of orthodoxy have been restored to their original beauty and are now encased within the documents of The Jerusalem Declaration, The Constitution and Canons of the Anglican Church in North America, and the Constitution and Canons of the Gulf Atlantic Diocese along with the Constitution and Canons of the other newly formed dioceses within the ACNA. In fact, each ACNA diocese is likened unto the gates of the city of Jerusalem that were rebuilt throughout the wall of the city to allow passage from all directions of the land to enter the Holy City. So too are these dioceses now being restored throughout North America in strategic geographical locations offering entrance for all who desire to return to Anglican orthodoxy. While the Constitution and Canons of the Anglican Church of North America are like the wall of Jerusalem that the people rebuilt to protect their beloved city. Unlike the previous wall, this wall seeks to protect and not oppress the People of God. For example, by allowing the parishes to keep their property in their names and allowing them to leave without punishment or repercussions. These new canons and constitutions unlike the previous ones are clear and not ambiguous thereby upholding the clarity of orthodoxy and not the gray of revisionism. So too are the shepherds of the flocks given back the authority to preach, teach and feed their people orthodoxy. Such authority had been taken away through canons revised to purge orthodoxy in the now fallen Episcopal Church. The rebuilt City of Jerusalem in the Book of Nehemiah is like the newly formed Anglican Church of North America built upon the ashes of the Church that once was a shining Light for Christ.

The Jerusalem Declaration is likened to the kingly order given by King Artaxerxes to Nehemiah in response to Nehemiah's request to rebuild Jerusalem the city, including her wall and gates. Although the Jerusalem Declaration came out of a Council of Orthodox Primates within the Anglican Communion, the voices of the remnant from both orthodox laity and clergy were heard and included in its writing. Within its text, is the resolve to return to the stones of orthodoxy that once gave spiritual protection to the Anglicans in North America. It is this clear declaration to return to the faith once held by the early Church and the Apostles as seen in traditional Anglicanism that announced to the world the resolve to restore what the Revisionists had destroyed.

The key tenets of faith that these orthodox documents uphold which differ from the revisionists are: salvation by grace through Jesus Christ alone who is the Way, the Truth and the Life; restoration for the Authority of the Bible as the Word of God; restoration of the four Ecumenical Councils of the early Church and the three historic Creeds from mere guidelines to "expressing the rule of faith of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church",as upheld by the Bible, especially concerning the Trinity and Christology ; recognition of the Thirty-nine Articles as the true doctrine of the Church, instead of mere historical documents; recognition of the sanctity of marriage as a lifetime commitment between one male and one female only as ordained by God our Creator; restoring the standard of celibacy outside of marriage as taught in the Bible and upheld by the universal Church; restoration of the Great Commission commanded by Christ to the Church as Her One, True and Holy Mission and is presently being expressed in Anglican 1000; the awareness and desire to seek to build up ecumenical relationships with other orthodox believers, instead of the indifference shown by the Revisionists who place their heresies above the Unity of the Church in Christ; the commitment to work out differences concerning secondary beliefs, such as women's ordination that divide us by seeking resolutions through Christ and not through mandates; pledging to reject the authority of heretics whether they be churches or leaders, but lifting them up in prayer that they may repent and return to Christ; and waiting in joy for the actual return of Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord, who overcame death both spiritually and physically, giving Him praise for transforming His Church through His Spirit.

All in all, the new Anglican Church of North America has chosen to seek the Lord in all matters; by creating a Spirit filled Church that will withstand the winds of time. Having learned from the errors of the Revisionists, the ACNA has chosen to raise the standards by which we are called to serve the Living Christ, instead of lowering the standards to conform to the culture. She has resolved to be in the world, but not a part of the world. By shattering the shackles of oppressive Revisionism, she has restored the freedom given only through Christ back into the Anglican Church in North America, glorifying God and not man.
