Episcopalian
Protestant liturgical churchgoer
An Episcopalian is a member of the Episcopal Church, the American branch of the Anglican Communion.
The word comes from *episkopos*, Greek for bishop—Episcopal churches are governed by bishops rather than congregations or elders.
As an adjective, Episcopalian describes things related to this denomination: an Episcopalian priest, Episcopalian traditions.
The church is often associated with mainline Protestantism and liturgical worship similar to Catholicism.
