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. Five congregations are listed by the CofEC as of 2006 (St. Mary's, Castle Street, Reading, Berkshire ; Nuffield Parish Church, near Henley-on-Thames , Oxfordshire ; St. John's Church, Colliers Wood, London ; St. Silas Church, Wolverhampton and Holy Trinity Church, Frinton-on-Sea ). The current presiding bishop of the Church of England (Continuing) is the Rt. Rev'd Edward Malcolm. Its American representative is the Rt. Rev'd Albion Knight, Jr. who was formerly the presiding bishop of the United Episcopal Church of North America. EXTERNAL LINKS
