CHURCH (Iglesia espanola reformada) , a small community of Protestants in See also:Spain organized on the See also:model of the See also:Anglican Church. This See also:body of Spanish Episcopalians had its origin in a See also:congregation which met for the first See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time, in See also:June 1871, in the secularized church of See also:San Basilio at See also:Seville, under the leadership of Francisco Palomares, a See also:priest who had See also:left the See also:Roman communion. Before See also:long it was joined by See also:numbers of See also:lay See also:people and several clergymen, including Juan See also:Cabrera, an ex-Roman priest, who had for some time been a Presbyterian See also:minister. In See also:July 1878 a memorial was presented to the See also:Lambeth See also:Conference by nine congregations in Spain and See also:Portugal (see below) asking for the episcopate. The reply expressed the sympathy of the bishops, but only suggested that Dr See also:Riley,recently consecrated by the See also:Protestant Episcopal Church of the See also:United States to minister to the reformed congregations in See also:Mexico, should be invited to visit than and ordain and confirm for them. See also:Archbishop See also:Tait wrote a formal See also:letter to See also:Bishop Riley to this effect, and the See also:request was complied with. A second See also:petition for the episcopate was sent to the Irish bishops in 1879, and See also:early in 1881, at their request, See also:Lord See also:Plunket paid his first visit to the Spanish Reformed Church, though nothing immediately resulted from it. In 1880 the first " See also:synod' of the Church was held, under the See also:presidency of Bishop Riley; the principles of the Church were laid down, Senor Cabrera was chosen bishop-elect, the preparation of a See also:liturgy was begun, and the See also:Thirty-nine Articles of See also:Religion of the Church of See also:England, with certain modifications, were formally adopted as a See also:standard of See also:doctrine. Archbishop Plunket continued his efforts on their behalf; and at length the Irish bishops, having again received from them a petition for a bishop, brought the See also:matter before the Lambeth Conference of 1888. The conference deprecated " any See also:action that does not regard See also:primitive and established principles of See also:jurisdiction and the interests of the whole Anglican communion." The archbishop interpreted this as a modified consent; but the Irish bishops understood it otherwise, and again declined to consecrate a bishop for them. Meanwhile the See also:movement prospered, being largely helped with See also:money from See also:friends in England. The See also:foundation-See also:- STONE

stone of a new church was laid in See also:Madrid in 189r, on the site of the Quemadero, where the autos de fe were formerly held; and after considerable legal and other difficulties, religious See also:toleration in Spain being still imperfect, it was dedicated and opened for service. At length, at the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of the Irish See also:House of Bishops on the 21st of See also:February 1894, a letter was read from the archbishop of See also:Dublin and the bishops of See also:Clogher (C. M. Stack) and Down (C. Welland), in which they declared their intention, unless a formal protest were made by the bishops, or by the See also:general synod, to consecrate bishops for the Reformed churches in Spain and Portugal, subject to certain conditions being fulfilled by those churches. The bishops resolved, 'amine contradicente, although the bishops of Derry (W. See also:Alexander, subsequently See also:primate of See also:Armagh) and See also:Cork did not See also:vote, that they would not regard such action as " an indefensible exercise of the See also:powers entrusted to the episcopate "; and the general synod passed a See also:resolution leaving the matter in the hands of the bishops. Accordingly, on the 23rd of See also:September 1894, the three bishops laid hands on Senor Cabrera. The matter occasioned no little stir in the See also:English Church, more especially as the Old See also:Catholic bishops (see OLD CATHOLICS) had recently refused to take any See also:part in the matter. It called forth a letter of protest and repudiation from Lord See also:Halifax, as See also:president of the English Church See also:Union, to See also:Cardinal Monescillo, archbishop of See also:Toledo; and this in turn evoked a letter from Cardinal See also:Vaughan, which was widely circulated in Spain.
The See also:consecration of Bishop Cabrera certainly produced, from the point of view of Anglican churchmen, a somewhat anomalous See also:state of things, and the action, or inaction, of the Irish bishops laid them open to See also:criticism from many who were not unfriendly to such movements (see e.g. Bishop See also:John See also:Wordsworth, See also:Ministry of See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

order, and as unjustifiable in view of the nature of the Spanish Reformed Church itself. As regards the latter, it is true that the See also:Prayer-See also:book of the body (first
made in 1881 and published in a revised See also:form in 1889) cannot really justify the claim made on its behalf as a " revised Mozarabic rite ": it contains indeed many beautiful prayers from the Mozarabic and other offices, but its doctrinal teaching is more unambiguously " Protestant " than that of the English Prayer-book. The Church possessed in 1906 ten congregations with some dozen See also:clergy.
Lusitanian Church.—A similar movement began in See also:Lisbon in 1867, owing to the See also:work of a Spanish priest there, Senor See also:Mora; and at first its success was even greater than the movement in Spain, in spite of the fact that Portuguese priests who left the Roman communion had either to leave Portugal or to become subjects of another See also:power. In 1875 the adherents of this movement threw in their See also:lot with their Spanish brethren, and when Bishop Riley visited them in 1878 the Portuguese members organized themselves as the " Lusitanian Church," and the Rev. T. See also:Godfrey See also:Pope, D.D. (d. 1902), the English See also:chaplain at Lisbon, was subsequently chosen by them as president of the synod. A request made to the Irish bishops in 1897 for the consecration of See also:Canon Pope as their bishop led to an examination of the Lusitanian Prayer-book, which was found to be even more defective from the Anglican point of view than that of the Spanish Reformed Church. Consequently no action was taken. In 1906 the Church had only some Soo adherents with five clergy.
