has gloss | eng: The Free Church of England (FCE) is an Anglican church which separated from the established Church of England in the course of the 19th century. The church was founded by evangelical clergy and congregations in response to Anglo-Catholicism. The first congregations were formed in 1844. In the early years ministers were often provided by the Countess of Huntingdons Connexion which had its origins in the 18th century Evangelical Revival. In 1863 the Annual Conference of the Countess of Huntingdons Connexion created a Constitution for the new congregations under the title The Free Church of England (though the name had been in use since the 1840s). The Constitution made provision for the creation of Dioceses, each to be under the oversight of a bishop. The first Bishop was Benjamin Price, who initially had oversight of all the new congregations. |
