Episcopalianism is a branch of the Christian faith that is part of the Anglican Communion. It emphasizes a structured church hierarchy led by bishops, which is reflected in its name derived from the Greek word for "bishop." Episcopalians value tradition, liturgy, and the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist, as central to their worship. The Episcopal Church in the United States is the primary expression of Episcopalianism. It promotes inclusivity and social justice, welcoming diverse perspectives within its congregations. Episcopalians often engage in community service and advocate for various social issues, aligning their faith with active participation in the world.
