About the Episcopal Church..............
The Episcopal Church is
one branch of the world-wide Anglican Communion numbering 60 million
members in over 160 countries. It is often referred to as a
"bridge" church because it includes both Roman Catholic and Reformed
traditions. It preserves the ancient Catholic faith and
sacraments and the historic ministry with bishops as chief pastors
(Episcopal comes from the Greek word for "bishop"). It is at
the same time Reformed, focusing on the authority of Holy Scripture
and the proclamation of the Word of God, concerned for a personal
commitment to Jesus Christ. We are governed by clergy and lay
people working together. Similarly we have been called the "thinking
man's church", valuing the gift and training of human reason
used in matters of faith and morals.
