What is an Episcopalian?

 

The Episcopal Church in the United States is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. 

 

The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Rowan Williams, is the titular leader of the Anglican  Communion.  In the United States, the Presiding Bishop is the “Chief Pastor and

Primate” of the Episcopal Church. The individual elected to this position serves for nine years. The current Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States  is the Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori.

 

Bishop Jeffery Lee was ordained and consecrated as the 12th Bishop of  The Episcopal Dioceses of Chicago in 2008 and seated as diocesan bishop in St. James Cathedral Chicago.

 

Episcopal Sheild

The Episcopal Church embraces a diverse people united by the common recognition of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason as authoritative in all that we think, say and do.

 

It is a church that encourages dialogue, discussion, ongoing study and active participation in the liturgy and sacraments. 

 

The Book of Common Prayer is the source of much of our liturgy, sacramental rites, prayers and theology, and is used by most Episcopal churches in the United States.
