Episcopalian
The term "Episcopalian" refers to members of the Episcopal Church, a Christian denomination that is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Episcopalians emphasize a balance of scripture, tradition, and reason in their faith and practice. They are known for their structured worship services, which often include the Book of Common Prayer.
Episcopalians believe in the importance of the sacraments, particularly baptism and the Eucharist. The church is governed by bishops, which is reflected in the name "Episcopal," derived from the Greek word for "bishop." This hierarchical structure allows for a connection between local congregations and the broader church community.
