The Southern Episcopal Church (SEC) is an American religious group, established in Nashville, Tennessee in 1962 in reaction to liberal political and theological trends within the Episcopal Church USA. SEC was founded by Burnice Hoyle Webster, a physician turned clergyman, and a number of former members of the Episcopal Church USA. Webster became the SEC's first presiding bishop. The SEC now considers itself a "Continuing Anglican" church, though the founding of the SEC preceded the start of the Continuing Anglican Movement by over a decade.

Cocolo is a term used in the Hispanic Caribbean to refer to Afro-Caribbean migrant descendants. The term originated in the Dominican Republic and is historically used to refer to the Anglophone Caribbean immigrants and their descendants and more rarely, towards those from the Francophone Caribbean. It is mainly used to refer to the migrants in San Pedro de Macorís, Puerto Plata, the Samaná Peninsula, and other Afro-descendants who arrived in the Atlantic coastal areas of the country in the late 1800s and early 1900s. At the time these migrants were culturally distinct from the lighter Dominicans who primarily lived in the northern interior of the country and had a higher degree of colonial Spanish ancestry.
