The Reformed Episcopal Church est. 1873
Please visit the Reformed Episcopal Church website at http://www.recus.com. In these uncertian times- in the midst of changing values, moral decline, spiritual questioning and the advance of secular 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 man. It is an alternative which is rich in biblical preaching and consistent with the English Protestant Reformation as expressed by our American forefathers. The Reformed Episcopal Church is a continuation of the English Church established in the 16th century by the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. It was officially organized on December 2, 1873 by the Rt. Rev. George David Cummins, D.D.. Bishop Cummins was a duly consecrated Bishop in the Protestant Episcopal Church who became increasingly concerned about the manner in which that church was straying from its biblical and historical base. In founding the new denomination, Bisho Cummins' vision was of a church committed to the Holy Scriptures functioning within the historical framework of the ancient and reformational church. In his words, it was to be a church following the "old paths" The Reformed Episcopal Church, both liturgical and evangelical, has been careful to preserve its historic Episcopate ever since its founding in 1873. The Reformed Episcopal Church has remained faithful in her use of the Historic Book of Common Prayer as a vehicle for the public Worship of her members. This Liturgy has remained consistent with the language and theology of the English Reformation. We continue to follow this historic pattern of worship principally because we beleive it to be a most biblical and effective form of expressing our corporate praise to Almighty God. The Book of Common Prayer used in the Reformed Episcopal Church is composed almost entirely of selections from Scripture which are placed together in such a way as to move the participants in a logical and orderly manner in their expression of Almighty God's worthiness. Most importantly, God's revelation in the Bible remains central. This gives us the confidence that our worship is acceptable to God, for we speak to Him in the very words He has given us. Through the faithful administration of the Lord's Supper, the hearts of the participants are strenghtened and they are reminded of their union with Christ, their absolute reliance upon God, and their unique position of being the Children of God. In expressing our worship in this manner, the Reformed Episcopal Church maintains a link which the Church of Jesus Christ has given since her founding by our Lord in the first century.
