Carroll Eugene Simcox (April 14, 1912 – October 16, 2002) was an American Episcopal priest and editor of The Living Church magazine. Simcox was born in Lisbon, North Dakota and educated at the University of North Dakota. He received his Masters Degree from Oberlin Theological Seminary and later his Doctorate in Classical Philology from the University of Illinois. He was ordained deacon in 1937 and priest in 1938. Simcox was rector of Zion Episcopal Church, Manchester, Vermont, and instructor at Bennington College from 1950 to 1955. In the 1950s he was on the staff of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Fifth Avenue in New York City. He served as rector of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Tampa, Florida from 1958 to 1964.
In Vermont, Simcox began a serious writing career. In 1982, he left the Episcopal Church to join the American Episcopal Church, and later served as a priest in the Anglican Church in America.

The September 14-16, 1977 Congress of St. Louis was an international gathering of nearly 2,000 Anglicans in St. Louis, Missouri, united in their rejection of theological changes introduced by the Anglican Church of Canada and by the Episcopal Church in the United States of America in its General Convention of 1976. Anglicans who attended this congress felt that these changes amounted to foundational alterations in the American and Canadian provinces of the Anglican Communion and meant that they had "departed from Christ's One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church." Theological liberalism, revisions to the Book of Common Prayer, and the ordination of women priests were not the only reasons for the split, but they were seen by these churches as evidence of the mainline church's departure from Anglican orthodoxy. This congress was sponsored by the Fellowship of Concerned Churchmen, an organization founded in 1973 as a coordinating agent for laypeople and clergy concerned about the breakdown of faith and order within the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada.
The Living Church is a magazine based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, providing commentary and news on the Episcopal Church and the wider Anglican Communion. In continuous publication since 1878, it has generally been identified with the Anglo-Catholic wing of Anglicanism, and has been cited by national newspapers as a representative of that party. It absorbed a number of earlier Anglo-Catholic publications, including The American Churchman, Catholic Champion (1901), and The Angelus (1904). Theologically and culturally, it tends to have a moderate-to-conservative slant.
