The Episcopal Church is a theologically
liberal, Protestant Christian denomination within the Anglican Communion, The
Church of England. Episcopal worship is marked by the use of the Book

The denomination was officially formed as an
organization in the United States in 1789 and adopted its current name in
1967. The Episcopal Church currently has approximately 2,537,000 members with 7,355
