Changes

The '''Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church''' (TPEC) was an [[American]] [[Protestant]] [[Episcopal]] church that espoused the Calvinist theology that was characteristic of Anglicanism at an earlier time. It differed from most Reformed churches in that it was [[episcopal]] in church government. It subscribed to the [[Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion]]. At one time in the early twenty-first century, nearly twenty clergy and a half-dozen parishes were affiliated with the TPEC. Between approximately 2008-2009 schismatic’s, led by a recently consecrated disloyal and renegade Bishop, Delbert Murray, believed the denomination should no longer affirm historic Anglican principles, but pushed for a revamping of the TPEC with a radical hyper Calvinistic, anti sacramental, acceptance of Bible translations based on critical text and higher critical methods of translations, and Presbyterian church government agenda. The schismatic’s caused ecclesiastical chaos and withdrawals which reduced the church to a handful of churches. In September, 2011, the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church and their Bishop-Charles Morley sought to maintain the historic Anglican witness and merged into the Anglican Orthodox Church to become the Diocese of the Advent in the Anglican Orthodox Church.

Although the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church counted a half-dozen parishes in the early years of the twenty-first century, recent withdrawals reduced the church to one parish which, as of September, 2011, appears to have dissolved or abandoned the TPEC.
