[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t Anglican and Episcopal the same?[/quote]

No. The Anglican Communion refers to all churches affiliated with The Church of England — the branch of Protestantism that broke away from the Catholic Church under Henry VIII. They all use The Book of Common Prayer for worship. There are churches of the Anglican Communion all over the world. The Episcopal church in America is part of the Anglican tradition. But it gets a little complicated in that some Episcopal congregations have now split from the Episcopal Church due to differences—and call themselves Anglican[b] (see the incredibly dramatic fight over the historic Falls Church in NOVA that I think went all the way up to the Supreme Court).[/b]

OP, there is no DCUM post that can answer your question. I’ve studied theology and even the posts here that people seem to think are good are so woefully inadequate as to be misleading.

Wikipedia isn’t perfect, but you can start there—read the entry for each denomination and go from there.[/quote]

No, not "The" Supreme Court.  It went up to the Supreme Court of VA.  https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/va-supreme-court/1628720.html[/quote]
