The Episcopal Church and My Reflections on Service Attendance History The earliest beginnings of what is now known as the Episcopal Church were rooted in the Church of England.

Catholic Church abused it by exploiting the uneducated laity in a variety of different ways. Luther had his tower experience in 1516, while he was studying the Bible he came to a realisation that the Catholics have misinterpreted it and they are not following the word of God.
