To: Salvation
The short answer is that it is a conservative denomination, created in 1873. They debated whether to call it the Reformed Episcopal Church or the Restored Episcopal Church. They are Calvinists; there are no female clergy; their ministers are called presbyters or ministers, not priests (evidencing their commitment to the priesthood of all believers); bishops are pastors of local churches, not cathedrals; they use the old Book of Common Prayer; they do not teach transubstatiation; their clergy either wear the Geneva preaching robe, or the simple vestments of the Anglican; they preach personal salvation; they preach the Word intently; etc.

I will post in a separate posting their history if anyone wants to read it.

It sounds a lot like the Anglican with the Book of Common Prayer.

God bless you in your pursuits.
