The Reformed Anglican Church (formerly named the Protestant Episcopal Church, USA) is a Continuing Anglican denomination of the Reformed Anglican tradition. It has an episcopal polity and is based in the United States. It was founded as a split in 2009 from the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church, another Continuing Anglican body. The church is strongly confessional, Reformed and evangelical.[1] It uses the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.[2]

The current Bishop is the Rt. Rev. Robert S. Biermann.[3]

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.
