We started out as the Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA (PECUSA).
That has been shortened to ECUSA, the Episcopal Church in the USA
Ironically, we are: "Protestant" as in, not Catholic or Orthodox
and "Episcopal" as in, not Protestant
We are: a branch of the Worldwide Anglican Communion,
We are: in communion with the See (Diocesan seat) of Canterbury
The Book of Common Prayer is central to our identity as Anglicans.
The overwhelming majority of the words in the Book of Common Prayer are words of Scripture.
IT IS THE BIBLE PUT INTO PRAYER!
(Maynard, p. 35)
Question: I always say that the Episcopal Church is the best kept secret around. If that is true, why do you suppose it is?
