What do you know about the "Reformed Episcopal Church"? I'm thinking about visiting one.

The REC split from the Episcopal Church some time ago -- 1878 is the year I remember if I remember correctly. The details are not clear, but I think it was in reaction to the Oxford Movement. More info on REC here..

Basically, the REC is on the evangelical wing of Anglicanism. On sites that focus on online sermons (mainly Prydain), you will find many from REC ministers (along with some from a couple of APCK priests, including -cough- mine).

The REC has recently revised its prayerbook, I think going back towards the 1662 though I could be wrong. It is several years into a process of affiliation with the APA, though I have heard more recently from an APA contact that the process has stalled or at least slowed.

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
