The
Episcopal Church in the USA is a part of Christ’s Church and, as
such, has unbroken existence since the founding of the Church by Christ. The
Episcopal Church was brought to America as the Church of England by early
colonists and settler. Following the War of Independence it adopted the name
Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA. Our Presiding Bishop and Primate is
Katherine Jefferts Schori.
The Anglican Communion is made up
of 38 self-governing—and largely self-supporting—provinces located in more than
164 countries. Linked by tradition and a common worship, they are in full
communion with the See of Canterbury. 
The
Church of England, the “Mother Church” has two spiritual leaders, the Archbishop
of Canterbury who is Primate of all England and Metropolitan and, in the
northern Province, the Archbishop of York who is primate of England and
Metropolitan.
