Conservative Anglicans meeting in Jerusalem will create a global network to combat modern trends in the Church like the ordination of gay clergy.
The group has also decided to break its relationship with the liberal wings of the US and Canadian Churches.
It will operate independently of the Archbishop of Canterbury, but will stay inside the Anglican Communion.
The traditionalists say they are fighting a "false Gospel" and the rift in the Church cannot be patched up.
After five years of trying unsuccessfully to get the American church expelled for its ordination of an openly gay bishop and blessing of same-sex relationships in church, the traditionalists say the international alliance will emphasise a more orthodox reading of the Bible.
