About the Province

The Province of Christ the King represents Apostolic Christianity in the Anglican tradition. Our beliefs are stated on the pages of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.

The Province of Christ the King is an Anglican Church committed to traditional forms of doctrine and liturgy. The Province is a body composed of five dioceses with parishes and missions throughout the United States.

The Church's responsibility is to reveal Christ to the world. The Province of Christ the King holds the "faith once delivered to the saints" as handed down from the apostolic fathers.

T. S. Eliot expresses our understanding of contemporary culture from the Christian perspective:

The Universal Church is today, it seems to me, more definitely set against the World than at any time since Pagan Rome. I do not mean that our times are particularly corrupt; all times are corrupt. In spite of certain local appearances, Christianity is not and cannot be within measurable time, 'official'. The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide.

--- T. S. Eliot, Thoughts After Lambeth (1931)
