Diocese of the Advent of the Anglican Orthodox Church

The diocese of the Advent is a result of the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church being accepted into the Anglican Orthodox Church in September 2011.

Between 2008-2009 the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church came under attack from a recently consecrated disloyal and renegade Assisting Bishop Delbert Murray, assisted by schismatics, attempted to reorganize the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church into a hyper-calvinist/Presbyterian denomination. Their efforts included changing the three fold Apostolicministry of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons to two offices (Presbyters and Deacons), acceptance of modern/liberal Bible translations based on the critical greek text, allowing of the objecting to the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, and a subtle hostility towards the sacraments. Assisting Bishop Delbert Murray attempted to undermine the Presiding Bishop of the TPEC and divide or expel the clergy faithful to the TPEC. These schismatics and hyper calvinists eventually left the TPEC, gaining legal ownership of previously discussed and proposed new ecclesiastical names and seals. The efforts of the Assisting Bishop and schismatics caused ecclesiastical chaos and damage.

The Presiding Bishop of the TPEC, in an effort to preserve historic Protestant Anglicanism, requested the TPEC, her churches and clergy, be accepted into the Anglican Orthodox Church as the Diocese of the Advent. In September of 2011 the Anglican Orthodox Church was accepted into the Anglican Orthodox Church to become the Diocese of the Advent of the Anglican Orthodox Church.
