Episcopalians are members of the Episcopal Church, a Christian denomination that is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. They follow a liturgical tradition and emphasize the importance of the sacraments, particularly Baptism and Holy Communion. The church is known for its inclusive approach and commitment to social justice. The governance of the Episcopal Church is hierarchical, with bishops overseeing local congregations. The term "Episcopal" comes from the Greek word for "bishop," reflecting this structure. Episcopalians value scripture, tradition, and reason in their faith, fostering a diverse community of believers.
