Before we begin...no...it's not the diet where you reduce your meat consumption to fish and chicken. Episcopalian refers to a Christian who adheres to the Episcopal Church of the United States and any other Church that calls itself 'Episcopal' with a capital "E." The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion which is a group of self governing Anglican Churches headed by the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Episcopal Church, along with the other Anglican/Episcopal bodies, act like a blend between 90% Roman Catholicism, 3% Calvinism, and 7% Baptist. Hence being neither Protestant nor Catholic, rather a nice blend between both because Queen Elizabeth needed to satisfy two very powerful Christian groups in a short period of time before they all murdered one another and her in a bid for superiority. Priests in the Episcopal Church are allowed to be men, women, or non binary; gay, straight; celibate or non (in the confines of marriage). Bishops act as leaders over swaths of land called dioceses. And Archbishops oversee entire national churches along with a large Synod. Eucharist is open for all baptized Christians (regardless of whichever church they are affiliated with) to receive.
