| | Episcopal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Episcopal churches are the churches with bishops, those with episcopalian church governance, but generally those whose bishops are in Apostolic Succession. | | | Churches that are members of the Anglican Communion are episcopal churches in polity, and some are named "Episcopal." However, some Anglican churches do not belong to the Anglican Communion, and not all episcopally-governed churches are Anglican. | | | The Roman Catholic Church, the Old Catholic Churches (member of the Anglican Communion), and the Eastern Orthodox churches are recognized, and also their bishops, by Anglicans. |

| | Autocephaly - definition of Autocephaly in Encyclopedia |
| | Similarly, the Tewahedo Church of Ethiopia was granted autocephaly by the Coptic pope in 1950, and the Orthodox Church in America was granted autocephaly by the Patriarch of Moscow in 1970. | | | A church that is autonomous has its highest-ranking bishop, such as an archbishop or metropolitan, appointed by the patriarch of the parent church, but is self-governing in all other respects. | | | For example, the Cypriot Orthodox Church was granted autocephaly by the Council of Ephesus and is ruled by the Archbishop of Cyprus, who is not subject to any higher ecclesiastical authority, although his church remains in full communion with the other Eastern Orthodox churches. |

| | This sense of the church is dominant in Roman Catholicism. | | | This sense of the church implies the church is fundamentally an “event;” the institution of the church is secondary / incidental. | | | Therefore: the church can be holy only to the degree that the individuals making it up are holy. |

| | Episcopalian conservatives threaten church hierarchy - TheologyWeb Campus |
| | The Episcopal Church is the U.S. branch of the international Anglican Communion, consisting of denominations that stem from the Church of England. | | | First, I see the Catholic Church, wholly in procedural and doctrinal line with the paupacy, making an "accomodation" to the those who desire the "sin" of divorce by granting an annulment of longstanding marriages on the back of some pretext that the marriage of many years was not proper. | | | One reason conservative parishes don’t want to officially leave the church is that under secular law they usually surrender their properties to the denomination. |

| | In the church, Christians are "fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone" (Eph. | | | The constitutional articles and canons of the church are intrinsically insufficient parameters for adjudicating the faithfulness of the church's actual life. | | | What God requires of the Church in circumstances where fidelity to the faith of the apostles and good order are threatened is neither an exercise of power nor a rush to the doorways. |

| | If you want to become an Episcopalian to be able to take part in Diocesan and national church governance, or just to make clear that this is the denomination in which you wish to live out your faith, you can be confirmed or or received into the Episcopal Church. | | | The church is a "community of memory" that ties us to other christians throughout the world and through time. | | | Often, churches and other institution seem to imply that the answers they give work only for those who belong, or they impose standards that must be rigidly applied. |

| | The Eastern Orthodox Church holds that a bishop's consecration is less than fully valid if it is not within the "One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church", i.e., one of the canonical Eastern Orthodox churches. | | | The Roman Catholic Church holds that a bishop's consecration is valid if the sacrament of Holy Orders is validly done and the consecrating bishop's orders are valid, regardless of whether this takes place within or outside of the Catholic Church. | | | In many cases, the doctrine of ekonomia is applied to such bishops if they convert to Orthodoxy. |
