CHURCH OF See also:ENGLAND , a See also:Protestant episcopal church " essentially one with the established church of England, but free to go into any See also:parish, to use a revised edition of the See also:Book of See also:Common See also:Prayer, to See also:associate the laity with the See also:clergy in the See also:government and See also:work of the church, and to hold communion with Christians of other denominations." It was founded in 1844
in opposition to the Tractarian See also:movement, and embodies the distinctively evangelical elements of the See also:Reformation. It pre-serves and maintains to the See also:letter all that is Protestant and evangelical in the See also:liturgy and services of the See also:Anglican church, while its free constitution and revised formularies meet the needs of members of that communion who resent sacerdotal and ritualistic tendencies. There are two dioceses (See also:northern and See also:southern) each with a See also:bishop, about 30 churches and ministers, and about 1300 members.
