History

The Reformed Anglican Church is a Continuing Anglican denomination that was created in 2009 as a result of a schism with the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church, another Continuing Anglican denomination with origins in the Anglican Catholic Church that merged into the Anglican Orthodox Church in 2011.^[4]^[5] As with its parent denomination, the Reformed Anglican Church aims at upholding Reformed Anglicanism.
