	Welcome to Grace Walsingham Episcopal Church
		The supreme policymaking body is a triennial general convention, consisting of a house of bishops and a house of deputies.
		Bishops and deputies, the latter including both laity and clergy, are elected by diocesan conventions to which the constituent parishes of each diocese send lay and clerical representatives.
		The majority of its clergy in New York favored Great Britain during the American Revolution, but the loyalty to the colonies of such men as Samuel Provoost, bishop of New York, secured for the church the vast holdings left to it by Queen Anne.

	VirtueOnline - Theology, Research ... - The Humiliation of Anglicanism - by Ephraim Radner
		The Nonjuring episode was brought on by the conflict between a Christian leadership within the Church of England committed to a straightforward expression of responsible “word-keeping” before God on the one hand and the ecclesial press to adapt to changing political and cultural permissions and goals on the other.
		Clergy and people were uncertain of the meaning and implications of the Constitution for some time, and wavered between their moral and political commitments, on the one hand, and the sense that the Church they had known was actually under structural assault.
		In those regions where the majority of the clergy refused it, some were forced out of their cures by authorities and replaced with “constitutional clergy”; others were simply left in place, supported by their people, and deemed relatively unproblematic in the face of larger challenges to the government.

	.: The Jesuit Singapore Website :.
		In 1790, the infamous Civil Constitution of the Clergy was enacted and a national church in France was constituted, totally independent of the Pope.
		It was further decreed that all clergy were to take an oath to support this Civil Constitution, failing which they would lose their citizenship and the priests would be liable to prosecution as disturbers of the peace.
		With the dissolution of the monarchy, a commune was established which decreed that the nonjuring clergy were to be deported to South America and all nonjuring priests were hunted down and arrested.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America
		The appointment to parishes was almost wholly in the hands of vestries who refused to induct ministers and so give them a title to the emoluments of their office, but preferred to pay chaplains whom they could dismiss at their pleasure.
		This naturally resulted in filling the ranks of the ministry with very unworthy candidates, and reduced the clergy to a position of contempt in the eyes of the laity.
		But there were not wanting both clergymen and laymen most eminent in their loyalty to the cause of the colonies and in the patriotic sacrifices which they made to the cause of independence.

		Of the Scottish Church it must be said that all its Bishops and 300 of its clergy definitely became Nonjurors, and that the few clergy who conformed were soon driven out by their crude and bigoted masters.
		Many Nonjuring laymen would attend their parish churches, but marked their sentiments by standing at the State Prayers and in other ways which were understood.
		Time does not permit a discussion of the links which bound the Nonjuring school to the Tractarians on the one hand and to the Little Gidding folk on the other, as well as to the High Churchmen (as they had come to be called) of their own day.

	Life and Writings of Charles Leslie, M.A.
		The clergy were almost unanimously in favour of hereditary right, theoretically, though late experience had not tended to enliven their zeal in the cause; and they were, as now, an unwieldy, unorganized body, without that unity of action and combination which are necessary to any powerful influence upon society.
		He could not persuade the clergy of London to accompany him, so was fain to rest content with a posse of dissenting ministers.
		Irish clergy, who had determinately resisted James, eagerly presumed that the usurper would bid high for their support, but finding themselves mistaken, began to make overtures for reconciliation to their rightful sovereign, which were very ungraciously rejected.

	Life and Writings of Charles Leslie, M.A.
		Nonjuring clergy were no longer permitted to preach in parish churches, nor willing themselves or their supporters to countenance services where the king and queen's names were superseded.
		Tillotson, the intruding archbishop, himself admitted the propriety of this refusal with those who could not conscientiously assent; and the practice of some who were reluctant to leave their parish churches, of standing up or muttering protest against the usurpers' names, was not one to be commended upon any principle whatever.
		The Christian clergy are as notoriously a matter of fact as the tribe of Levi among the Jews, and the Gospel as much a law as the books of Moses.

		Permission was finally granted by the archbishop of Canterbury, and in 1787, bishops of the Church of England consecrated Samuel Provoost the first Episcopal bishop of New York, and William White the first of Pennsylvania.
		The priests, deacons, and bishops of Saint Matthew Church are free to marry and raise families or to remain celibate.
		To deny marriage to those who have an authentic vocation to the ministerial priesthood is to diminish the spiritual and psychological health and growth of the Church's clergy.
