Any Church of England Churches in East Central WI? (Sheboygan: shops, catholic church)

[Dr675]

Inquiring if there are any Church of England Churches in an area from Sheboygan to the east and north, Fond du Lac to the West and Mequon to the south. Thank you in advance. We recently relocated to the region.

Twenty seconds' worth of Googling reveals that there's at least three Episcopal churches in Sheboygan alone.

Thank you for the help.

Also, you are being the stereotypical Chicago/FIB person with the attitude. No thanks for that. I went directly to the Church of England Site before coming here without success.

Glad I could help.

Also, you're being the stereotypical Wisconsin whiner whining about FIBs, as though there's something uniquely FIBish about exasperation with people who can't perform the most basic Google search imaginable. But hey, I guess we each have our role to play.

Sounds like two nations divided by a common language here. The Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA belongs to the Anglican Communion, as does the Church of England. The website of one wouldn't necessarily find a church in the other. Episcopal Church in the United States of America has links to both.

Yeah, we don't technically have the "Church of England" in the U.S... The Episcopal Church is as close as you're going to get, but they don't report to the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Right, it's not like the Roman Catholic Church where everyone reports up the line to the Pope. The Archbishop of Canterbury is 'primus inter pares' - first among equals - basically the managing partner, not the CEO of the Anglican communion worldwide. A lot of Episcopal churches have broken away from the PECUSA of late and have affiliated themselves, as Anglican churches, with more conservative bishops outside of the US, so depending on where one's beliefs lie either the Episcopal church or the Anglican church would be the CofE equivalent in the US.
