| | Episcopalian |
| | Episcopalians believe in the "apostolic succession" or unbroken line of succession through its bishops since the first apostles of Jesus in the first century A.D. There would not be an Episcopal Church without the bishops and the participation of the members of the other orders of ministers - the laity, deacons, and priests. | | | Episcopalians do not talk in church before a service but use this time for personal meditation and devotions. | | | In many churches it is also the custom to bow to the altar on entering and leaving the church as an act of reverence for Christ. |

| | Episcopalians took the unprecedented step only days after the Catholic Church reaffirmed its opposition to homosexual practice, and less than 48 hours after allegations of inappropriate physical conduct were made against Robinson by a church member. | | | Episcopalians "have taken a huge, risky, and courageous step that will be very instructive for other denominations like ours," says the Rev. Laird Stuart of Calvary Presbyterian in San Francisco, who supports greater church accommodation of homosexuality. | | | He says moderate Episcopalians will be crucial to preventing a split within that church. |

| | But Episcopalians are confident that in and through this kind of engagement with eaqch other, they will become closer to understanding what God is up to and who God wants them, as a church, to be. | | | Episcopalians live and proclaim the gospel in community, through the Eucharist, and seek a servanthood ministry. | | | I am an Episcopalian ultimately because I believe that in this Church and Communion the great truth of Christianity is most adequately and fully set forth in balance and proportion and that through its life of worship and witness it makes possible the richest kind of fellowship with God and with fellowmen. |

| | As was their usual custom with all prelates and clergy of other bodies, the Episcopalian bishops urged Bishop Raphael to recognize the validity of their Orders and to permit his people to receive sacramental ministrations from the Episcopal Church. | | | Bishop Raphael found that his association with Episcopalians was made a basis for most insidious, injurious, and unwarranted propaganda in favor of the Protestant Episcopal Church among his parishes and faithful. | | | He believed that the Episcopal Church considered the Orthodox Church to be the oldest Church and that only the Orthodox Church preserved the truth of the Christian Faith without changes. |

| | Anglicans Online Essays Episcopalian Democracy, by Pierre Whalon |
| | But Episcopalians are especially accountable for the freedom and responsibility to make good use of this instrument of the General Convention to further the mission and work of the Church of Jesus Christ, among "the Americans" and away to the ends of the earth. | | | Similarly, and with perhaps more precedent from antiquity, we Episcopalians have put our faith in an elected government, a prayerful voting assembly of laypeople and clergy, themselves wisely and prayerfully chosen by ballot (we should expect). | | | Let each Episcopalian become personally involved in the processes for selecting bishops and deputies (and alternates), and in holding them accountable to the people of God. |

| | Corrupt Christianity: Sixpence None The Richer: Association |
| | The Episcopalian Church accepts all faiths, they openly condone homosexuality and even aid in funding AIDS causes. | | | They also condone all religions - one who enters an Episcopalian church may see many symbols around the church representing Muslims, Buddhists, Tao, Judaism, Eastern Religions, Christianity, Catholicism....etc, as the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, California displays. | | | Because of their slant toward the New Age beliefs and their acceptance of so much ungodliness, it is no wonder that they would belong to a false denomination like the Episcopalian church! |

| | It is the view of a person who was formed as a Christian within the bosom of the Episcopal Church, who served for ten years as a missionary of that church in East Africa, and who has taught several generations of its clergy. | | | No one looks upon them with the calm of a “view from nowhere.” My own view is that of a person who was born into a family of Episcopalians whose allegiance to that church stretches as far back as anyone can remember. | | | The Episcopal Church, according to this view, was taking a lead in calling attention to God’s work in history and giving prophetic support to divine providence. |
