The Church of England (Continuing) is part of the Continuing Anglican Movement. It was founded in England on 10 February 1994 at a meeting chaired by Dr. David N. Samuel held at St. Mary's, Castle Street, Reading, in reaction to the use of Common Worship and to the ordination of women. Unlike the Free Church of England, which also broke from the Church of England, the Church of England (Continuing) holds to the unmodified Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion of the Church of England and to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer which alone is used by its parishes for worship.

Although the CofEC was widely discussed in Anglican circles at the time of its founding, it has not achieved significant growth since that time. The suggestion has been made that one reason for this may be the greater acceptance of vernacular worship and women clergy among younger Christians, many of whom would logically have come to the Church through the evangelical movement.

Four congregations are listed by the CofEC as of 2009[1]

  • St. Mary's, Castle Street, Reading, Berkshire, minister Rev'd Edward J. Malcolm
  • St. John's Church, Colliers Wood, London, minister Rev'd Peter Ratcliff
  • St. Silas Church, Wolverhampton, minister Rt. Rev'd Edward Malcolm
  • Holy Trinity Church, Frinton-on-Sea, minister Mr. Phillip Lievesley

A fifth congregation in Nuffield near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire meets with Nuffield Parish Church. Two congregation, St. Silas and St. Mary's own their own buildings with the remaining congregations meeting at shared venues.

The first bishop of The Church of England (Continuing) was the Rt. Rev'd David Norman Samuel, now retired and assistant bishop. The current presiding bishop is the Rt. Rev'd Edward Malcolm, minister of St. Silas, Wolverhampton. In addition the Rev'd John Shearer serves as a freelance minister and there are several lay readers and preachers.

The Episcopal Succession of the Church of England (Continuing) from the Mother Church of England is through the following lineage of bishops:

John Moore, Archbishop of Canterbury, cons. on 4 Feb. 1787 William White who cons. on 31 Oct. 1832 John Henry Hopkins who cons. on 1 May 1867 Daniel Sylvester Tutile who cons. on 6 June 1911 James DeWolf Perry who cons. on 14 Oct. 1930 Henry Knox Sherrill who cons. on 5 Apr. 1951 Arthur Carl Lichtenberger who cons. on 1 Oct. 1962 Arthur Albert Chambers who cons. on 28 Jan. 1978 Charles Dale David Doren who cons. on 2 June 1984 Albion Williamson Knight, Jr. who cons. on 11 June 1995 David Norman Samuel who cons. on 13 Sept. 1998 Edward Malcolm.
