U.S. Episcopal Church
and the worldwide Anglican Communion.
Our
church is an heir to a continuing Christian tradition
dating from the second century, when the faith was first brought
to the British Isles, and from Revolutionary times in the
United States, when the Church took on distinctly American
characteristics.
