Description
The Free Protestant Episcopal Church is a large group of Anglicans of all varieties of churchmanship from Anglo-Catholic (High Church), Evangelical (Low Church), Latitudinarian (Broad Church), Charismatic and Liberal. All of the Provinces of the Communion are autonomous, comprising self-governing churches and families of churches around the world. This Communion was established in England on 2 November 1897 by a union of several small British episcopates established in the 1870s, independent of the Church of England. The Most Rev'd Leon Checkemian (1848 to 1920), an Armenian Uniate bishop had moved to Britain and became an Anglican and served as the first primate of the new Church.
The Free Protestant Episcopal Church is a communion of free Anglican churches around the world, living an Anglican reconciliation and unity.
The Free Protestant Episcopal Church is present in the U.S., Canada, England, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Gabon and India.
