REFORMED EPISCOPAL
The Reformed Episcopal Church was organized in New York City in 1873 by eight clergymen and twenty laymen who were formerly priests and members of the Protestant Episcopal Church. A long debate over the excessive ritualism and exclusive attitude of the Protestant Episcopal Church toward other denominations lay behind the separation. The immediate cause of the division lay in the participation of Bishop George David Cummins, Assistant Bishop of Kentucky, at a Communion Service held in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. In the face of criticism and with the conviction that the evangelical and catholic nature and mission of the Protestant Episcopal Church were being lost, Bishop Cummins resigned as Assistant Bishop of Kentucky and transferred his Episcopal oversight to a new jurisdiction called the Reformed Episcopal Church. For nearly 135 years, the Reformed Episcopal Church has remained faithful to the inerrant Word of God, powerfully proclaiming the unchanging Gospel of Jesus Christ and worshipping Him in Spirit and in Truth using the biblical and time-honored Book of Common Prayer.
In these unsure times - amidst shifting values, moral
decline, spiritual questioning and the advance of worldly
humanism - it's good to know that there is a Christian
Church that still offers a timely message to the uncertainty
of our time. This alternative is consistent with God's Holy
Word. It focuses worship on Almighty God and not on man. It
is an alternative which is rich in biblical preaching and
consistent with the English Protestant Reformation as
expressed by our American Forefathers.
