Most Christians are completely unaware that for over 200 years
there has existed in England, and at times in Wales, Scotland,
Canada, Bermuda, Australia, New Zealand, Russia and the USA, an
episcopal Church, similar in many respects to the Church of
England, worshipping with a Prayer Book virtually identical to the
1662 Book of Common Prayer, and served by bishops, presbyters and
deacons whose orders derive directly from Canterbury, and
ecumenically enriched by Old Catholic, Swedish, Moravian and other
successions. The Free Church of England as an independent
jurisdiction within the Universal Church began in the reign of
George III. In 1991 the Church sent a bishop to George Carey's
Enthronement as Archbishop of Canterbury. In addition to presenting
for the first time a detailed history of the Free Church of
England, John Fenwick also explores the distinctive doctrinal
emphases of the denomination, its Constitution, its liturgical
tradition, its experience of the historic episcopate, and its many
connections with other churches (including the Reformed Episcopal
Church in the USA). He discusses why the Church has, so far, failed
to fulfil the vision of its founders, and what the possible future
of the Church might be - including a very significant expansion as
many Anglicans and other Christians considering new options
discover this historic, episcopal, disestablished, Church with its
international connections and ecumenical character.
