This Communion  was established in England on 2 November 1897 by a union of several small British episcopates established in the 1870s in reaction to the rising Anglo-Catholicism of the Church of England.

 

The Most Rev'd Leon Checkemian (1848 - 1920), an Armenian Uniate bishop, had moved to Britain and became a protestant Anglican and served as the first primate of the new Church.
