The Episcopal Free Fellowship comes from one of the oldest Anglican Communions in existence with a rich history of Anglo-Catholic tradition. For a brief time, our province was The Anglican Free Fellowship to align with a former communion.

Bishop Rafael Seijo once served as Provincial Archbishop and his cofounder became Archbishop Coadjutor. On January 8, 2019 Archbishop Seijo retired upon his 75th birthday and current Bishop Edward Vaughan assumed his role.

The church is focused on the teachings of Jesus and the fruits of the Holy Spirit. The foundational document was a creed written especially for the church called the Creed of Charismata (Christ’s Creed). The creed was co-written by Archbishop Seijo and Rev. Vaughan to express the focus of the church and what makes us distinctive. . 

There are many ecumenical opportunities within the Episcopal Catholic Free Communion and we continue to grow and share the Good News of the renewal of all things.
