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.
