The Episcopal Church welcomes all who worship Jesus Christ, in 109 dioceses and three mission areas across twenty-two nations and territories. The Episcopal Church is a member province of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
"""Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, who published the first Prayer Book in 1549, spoke of the need for the Church's liturgy to be in a language that would be understood by the people . . . all the people. Only in this way would our prayer truly be common, or shared. The Way of Love demands it, for it would not be love if some are ignored."" --Michael B. Curry, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church"
