What does it mean to be an Anglican and Episcopalian?

Many of us in the Episcopal Church come from different traditions, or from none at all. (It doesn’t matter!) There are lots of things that puzzle even cradle Episcopalians. In this six part series, we will try to address some questions about basic beliefs and traditions in our church.

Please come and be part of the discussion. We’ll all learn something, and we’ll get to know each other better. No homework, and no tests!
