Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi 1.2

Like every other Christian tradition, the Episcopal Church is founded upon the affirmation that Jesus Christ is Lord. The Episcopal Church comes out of the Anglican tradition, which represents a continuous tradition of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church in England, which became a distinctive political entity during the Reformation era. As Anglican Christians, Episcopalians worship according to an authorized edition of The Book of Common Prayer and are in communion with Anglicans worldwide through the See of Canterbury (the seat or jurisdiction of a bishop).
