The Reformed Episcopal Church (REC) is an Anglican Church It was founded in 1873 in New York City by George David Cummins, a former bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

The REC is a founding member of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), and its four U.S. dioceses are member dioceses of ACNA. The REC and ACNA are not members of the Anglican Communion. The REC is in communion with the Free Church of England, the Church of Nigeria, and the Anglican Province of America.

Due to the death of Royal U. Grote Jr. in 2016,[2][3] the then Vice President of the Reformed Episcopal Church, Ray Sutton became the Presiding Bishop of the REC. At the 55th General Council of the Reformed Episcopal Church in June 2017 in Dallas, Texas, USA, Sutton was elected to be the Presiding Bishop, and David L. Hicks, Bishop Ordinary of the Diocese of the North East and Mid-Atlantic, was elected as vice-president, of the Reformed Episcopal Church.

As of 2022, the REC reported 117 parishes and missions in the United States and two in Canada, and also has churches in Croatia, Cuba, Germany, and Serbia. The U.S. and Canadian-based dioceses reported 7,602 members at the end of 2022.[1]
