In 2001, Ross and his wife, Sallie, and their two sons moved to Colorado Springs to plant a church as part of the nascent Anglican Mission in the Americas (AMIA).
[3] In 2010, AMIA—which had been a founding member of the Anglican Church in North America the year before—left full membership, changing its status in ACNA to "ministry partner.
"[8] In early 2012, a majority of AMIA congregations elected to remain canonically in the Rwandan church and pursue full membership and "dual citizenship" in the ACNA, forming PEARUSA.
[3] In 2015, the Anglican Church of Rwanda transferred PEARUSA congregations to sole ACNA jurisdiction.
[11] PEARUSA's western network was reconstituted as the Anglican Diocese of the Rocky Mountains, with Ross as its first diocesan bishop.
