The Rt. Rev. Delbert N. Murray, Presiding Bishop Bishop Ordinary, Diocese of the Good Shepherd - Pensacola Florida
Welcome to The Protestant Episcopal Church USA. We are glad for your interest. We hope that you will find here information that helps you live a Christian's life in God's kingdom. Please feel free to contact us as well. As you will see, the PEC is a unique place in today’s denominational landscape. The PEC is a part of the body of Christ. We are not a new church. We are an Anglican Church. We are the church of this country's founding fathers. We are a place for those who are Bible Christians; Gospel preaching and promoting Christians; Christians who recognize and teach the values of the church of Bible times and of the Protestant Reformation. We are not Roman Catholic. We are not Anglo-Catholic. We are not part of the “Anglican Communion”. We believe that the witness of the Protestant Reformation in England is of great value as the expression of a real and Biblical faith. For us, tradition is not that which is dead, but that which is living. The Christian and Anglican tradition is a living tradition. It is a Bible tradition, a liturgical tradition, a missionary, Gospel preaching tradition. Christians of the year fifty, one hundred, five hundred, one thousand, or fifteen hundred would recognize our worship and our belief as their worship and their belief - as Christan worship and belief. In February 2008 we drafted a new constitution for our church in order to address both the questions of who we are, and where we are going. We have entered a season of planting new churches and founding new schools based on classical teaching traditions. Perhaps there is a place for you to be a co-worker with us. We are seeking people of God who feel called to the ministry of our tradition and who have a heart for the Gospel and a mission to build and plant churches. If you think that you are one of those people, I invite you to contact one of the Bishops or one of our clergy.
Be Original, Be Informed
