The corporation was established
by Congress in 1970 to
take over intercity passenger operations
from railroads that wanted
to drop passenger service. Amtrak
contracts with railroads for
the use of their tracks and of certain
other operating equipment
and crews.
Amtrak is subsidized in part
by federal funds appropriated
yearly by Congress and administered
through the Department of
Transportation.
Amtrak should not be confused
with Conrail (see separate
entry). However, the legislation
that established Conrail provided
for Amtrak to gradually take over
ownership of certain trackage in
the Boston-Washington corridor
and from Philadelphia to Harrisburg.
Amtrak headquarters is in
Washington.
AMVETS Acceptable in all
references for American Veterans
of World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

Anglican Communion
This is the name for the worldwide
association of the 22 separate
national Anglican churches.
Each national church is independent.
A special position of
honor is accorded to the archbishop
of Canterbury, as the preeminent
officer in the original Anglican
body, the Church of England.
The test of membership in the
Anglican Communion traditionally
has been whether a church has
been in communion with the See
of Canterbury. No legislative or
juridical ties exist, however.
BELIEFS: Anglicans believe in
the Trinity, the humanity and divinity
of Christ, the virginity of
Mary, salvation through Christ,
and everlasting heaven and hell.
A principal difference between
Roman Catholics and Anglicans
is still the dispute that led to the
formation of the Church of England
— refusal to acknowledge
that the pope, as bishop of Rome,
has ruling authority over other
bishops. See catholic, catholicism.
ANGLICAN CHURCHES: Members
of the Anglican Communion,
in addition to the Church of England,
include the Scottish Episcopal
Church, the Anglican Church
of Canada, and, in the United
States, the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
See Episcopal Church.
