in South Africa since the late
eighteenth century. However, when in 1833 an Anglo-Catholic Bishop was appointed
to lead the Church, there were those who preferred to follow the
Reformation principles and teachings of the Church of England. On the advice of, and with the assistance of Archbishop Mowll of Sydney, those evangelicals who wished to remain true to their heritage adopted a Constitution in 1938. This Constitution enshrines the Reformed, Protestant and Evangelical faith handed down by our forefathers.
Together with other groups of similar persuasion, we are endeavouring to present the evangelical voice in Southern Africa. For a more detailed history of the Church of England
