​Philippine Independent Church (1961)
                 The Philippine Independent Church was established in 1902 as a protest movement against the Roman Catholic Church, and as an alternative expression of the Christianity of the Filipino people.  In 1961 The Episcopal Church provided the historic succession to the PIC, who in turn conditionally consecrated all clergy in the PIC.  With increasing immigration of Filipinos into the United States, many PIC congregations have been established, which have been organized into a missionary diocese.  In 2006 the concordat of full communion between the two churches was updated and signed by both Presiding Bishops, pledging more cooperation between the two churches.
