Where did Anglicans or Episcopalians come from?
Some think that we began with Henry the Eight in the fifteenth century, but that is emphatically wrong. We can trace our bishops back to the apostles (apostolic succession). There are three branches of Christianity that can trace themselves back to the apostles: Eastern Orthodoxy, the Roman Catholic Church, and Anglicans or Episcopalians. The Reformed Episcopal Church was formed out of American Anglicans in 1873, called at that time the Protestant Episcopal Church.
