Agreed Statement on the Separation of the NEW OXFORD REVIEW from the American Church Union
EDITORIAL
At a special meeting of the governing Council of the American Church Union (ACU) on July 28, 1983, it was decided to separate legally the New Oxford Review from the ACU (theretofore the publisher of the NOR).

Whereas the ACU has for many years been and continues to be an Episcopalian/Anglican organization, the New Oxford Review has had an increasingly Roman Catholic readership.
The New Oxford Review is now self-governing, and is published by a new tax-exempt nonprofit corporation, New Oxford Review, Inc., incorporated under the laws of the State of California and supervised by its own board of directors.
