"charismatic episcopal church" history
"charismatic episcopal church began"

What bunk.  The church was started by the apostles (Acts:  They were first
called Christans in Antioch) and their disciples.  Through apostolic
succession the church spread to Rome, North Africa, Greece, Turkey, Sudan,
Ethiopia, Persia, India and points between.  There were 5 Patriarchs of
the church: Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria.  It was
the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.  The first council was Nicea
in 325, as Christianity had recent;y become legal and open
(305-Constantine) where the church beliefs and rules were formalized.  A
total of seven councils were held through the 700s.  In 1054, the Great
schism occured where the Rome church split from the others.  Rome became
Roman Catholic (universal) and the others became Orthodox (right worship).
 The reason for the split was the Church of Rome declaring itself superior
to the others and the insertion of the filoque in the Nicene creed (325)
without any other Church's approval.  Subsequent branching occurred with
the start of the Episcopal church and the Lutheran church in the 1500s. 
Those splits occur to this day with over 26,000 Christian faiths claiming
to be correct.  The Roman church has made changes of law and practice to
this day.  The Orthodox church remains changeless.  Both claim apostolic
succession.  There are many more facts and many resources to list.  But
this is just a response to the adultered and not truthful answer to the
question

Great comment so far mezmar-ga!

The Greek word for church used in the Bible is ekklesia;
from two words, ek for from out of,
and kaleo to call,  an assembly, a (religious) congregation.

Some great, but easier to read books (simpler language without being
dumbed down)
for an interested beginner are:
History:
Church History in Plain Language, Updated Edition by Bruce Shelly
ISBN 0849938619
Beliefs:
Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem / Zondervan Corp. / 1994
ISBN: 0310286700
Both are available from amazon.com or CBD,
http://www.christianbook.com/

The Systematic Theology book tries to fairly contrast and balance all
the major
different Christian historical traditions that try to use the Bible as
their starting point.
Grudem also covers the Roman Catholic position in every chapter
 and occasionally liberal theologians as well.
The history of the Eastern Orthodox Church is mentioned,
 but not emphasized as this is not primarily a history book,
 but a book with views about what we should believe the Bible teaches
us TODAY
 about a topic (sometimes some history is needed and given)
 and what might be important to be ready for tomorrow's controversies.

I would guess that mezmar-ga might be Eastern Orthodox,
 given his mention of the 5 Patriarchs and the seven councils
 next to the idea of apostolic succession.
Most westerners are ignorant of such important basics,
 including when the western crusaiders, in their greed,
 forgot about Jerusalem and looted the Eastern Church,
 sacking Zara and Constantinople in 1202, 1204 during the fourth
crusade.

The two big subjects I have left out are:
1) What should someone DO given what they believe to be true?
-- this is called ethics
2) why should we believe in the scriptures/Bible
 as the basis for our understanding of 'Truth'
 instead of what some philosophers, scientists, or elders and their
traditions say,
 be they Pharisees, Cardinals or Patriarchs?
-- Questions of this nature fall under the term "apologetics"

To betsamus-ga and jbf777-ga:
I must apologize for my earlier comment.
I did not read the second line of the question and thus started
rambling about the early church.
I'm new here, sorry

The bible is the basis for the christian religion. The Bible says that
Jesus christ is God`s only begotten son [ Jesus is not God] The bible
was written by many men over a period of fifteen hundred years,
starting with Moses writing Genesis through to the disciple John
writing Revelation , 96 years after Jesus` birth or 63 years after he
died. 2 Timothy 3;16 states that ALL scripturte is inspired of God and
beneficial for teaching, reproving and setting things straight. God
has a name found at Psalm 83;18. Matthew 6;9,10 [ the standard Lord`s
prayer] says " Let your NAME be sanctified. Any church that does not
use god`s name or has had his name removed from their bibles is not
approved by God.
The word " TRINITY" does not appear in the Bible but was introduced by
the Council of Nicea. Doesn`t make it right. The Catholics use the
Trinity, scrub them, The Muslims start with Abraham, but got
sidetracked by having to depend on memory alone, and all the splinter
groups are doing their own thing. But God must have a group who are
doing all the right things. Not going to war, Totally united, Love
their fellow man, Follow jesus` example and preach the good news, as
Jesus did, "From door to door" . If you search for God`s approved
religion, you can find it. The Bible mentions two covenants. the first
one, God made with abraham, and then when Jesus came along, He, as
God`s representative, made a new covenant stated at Luke 22;29. 1
Corinthians 11;25. Using the bible sorts the wheat from the chaff.

I like the original answer. Seems to get to the point of the question,
which implied a specific faction or denomination within the larger
Christian faith. The other comments show how big the issue really is
if you go beyond the original question. Hats off to jbf777-ga.
