The Episcopal Church in the Philippines is a province of the Anglican Communion and an offshoot of the Episcopal Church. It was founded in 1901 by American missionaries led by Charles Henry Brent, who served as the first resident bishop. It became an autonomous province of the Anglican Communion on May 1, 1990.
At present, the Episcopal Church has six dioceses. It is also responsible for founding and overseeing institutions such as St. Luke's Medical Center, Brent International School, St. Stephen's High School, and Trinity University of Asia. Its principal ministerial training institution is St. Andrew's Theological Seminary. Its current Prime Bishop is Ignacio C. Soliba. Its national headquarters is in Cathedral Heights, New Manila, Quezon City.The Church is in a concordat of full communion with the Philippine Independent Church and is a member of both the Christian Conference of Asia and the National Council of Churches in the Philippines.
At the last Provincial Synod held in Manila in May 2008, Edward Malecdan, Bishop of Northern Philippines, was unanimously elected the next Prime Bishop. He will take office in November.
