The Episcopal Church in the Philippines was forged from missionary work of the early twentieth century. High Church or Anglo-Catholic Episcopalians dominated this work, and their theology was most clearly articulated by the first bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Philippines, Charles Henry Brent. Brent's ecclesiology has been adopted and adapted by Filipino Episcopalians; they have taken up themes sounded by him but used those themes to develop an indigenous ecclesiology quite different from that of the missionary bishop.
