Episcopal sect proposes reunion with Rome

SCARBOROUGH (Sep 29): A meeting in Portland last week
brought an Episcopalian sect closer to reunifying with
the Roman Catholic Church, in what would be the first
post-Reformation church to rejoin with Rome. 

The sect, called the Anglican Church in America, is
part of a worldwide group of conservative churches
that split from the mainstream Anglican Communion in
1979, opposing the ordination of women clergy and
changes to the Book of Common Prayer, which catalogues
the church’s basic doctrines and prayers.

The Anglican Communion has its roots in the Protestant
Reformation of the 16th century, which resulted in
several religious groups separating from the Roman
Catholic Church for theological and political reasons.
In the U.S., most Anglican churches go by the name
“Episcopal” while retaining their ties to the English
church, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Some churches, including St. Paul’s Cathedral in
Portland, split from the mainstream Episcopal Church
USA and joined a more conservative group, the Anglican
Church in America.
