What's the Episcopal Church and how does it work? I've never even been in an Episcopal building, so I went for the first time and here's what happened.

well generally since it's also a western church, the liturgy, vestments and other things are extremely similar, the real differences come in the theological nitty-gritty, meaning that if you for example go to a lutheran service you're going to feel pretty similar, but if you talk to a lutheran theologian it'll be really different

Episcopalians in relation to the Anglican Church in the United States are derived from the anglican church, after the revolutionary war, they no longer called themselves anglican as it was tied to the crown, so they became "episcopalian" but remained in the Anglican Communion.

@@dugood70 While I think it is certainly possible, I also believe the Episcopal Church has some real opportunities to be what many people are seeking in the world right now. Times are uncertain, but as a denomination that values tradition and seeks to move forward with the rest of the world too I think we have a chance to thrive. We are not perfect and have much work to do, but I believe it is possible. The fact that we cannot know the future means it will always be scary, but we can look to the ways God has moved in our lives and throughout time and hold onto the hope that pattern will continue in the future. Even if the Episcopal Church dies off, God will always be active in the world through those who believe. Peace be with you.

I've been watching your series on visiting other Christian denominations and branches, and I'm drawn to this one in particular. I was born, baptized, and raised Presbyterian, then became non-denominational, then in recent years wavered close to agnostic because of how many hateful and hypocritical Christians of various denominations I've encountered as an adult. I think I will look into the Episcopal Church further. I had always heard other Churches label them as too lenient and laidback in their teachings, but that honestly sounds preferable to the Evangelicals I've seen screaming at everyone.

Jon Howard The first few apostles that Christ called sat under the preaching of John the Baptist and likely received baptism. We see later where the apostles ask those to whom they preach whether they have received baptism. Confused by the question, the reply was that they had received the baptism of John. We could then surmise that most who were believers in the Messiah and teachings of John would’ve received baptism. It’s likely all the apostles would’ve been baptized by water and we know for sure they were baptized by the Spirit.

Henry was given the title "Defender of the Faith" by Pope Leo X in 1521 - as stated in the video. However, when he took control of the English Church, that title was stripped from him by Pope Paul III in 1530 when he excommunicated Henry. In 1544, the English Parliament granted Henry a new title of "Defender of the Faith" - this time meaning Defender of the Anglican Faith. This title is the one passed down to the current Monarch of the United Kingdom.

I'm not a member of the Episcopal Church, but I did attend an Episcopal parish for 12 years. I don't want to contradict an Episcopal priest about his own church, but it seems to me that the fact that so many Episcopal parishes have courtyards, garth, gardens, etc. indicates something. At the same time, Episcopalians seem to have a high regard for God's role as Creator. So I think the reason so many Episcopal parishes have outdoor areas is to remind us that we are part of God's creation. As it says in the hymn "All People Who on Earth doth Dwell," "Without our help, he did us make." Just my 2 cents.

Thank you for this series! As a "capital c" Catholic, I've always loved learning about the differences among Protestant churches, especially those that are closer to Roman Catholicism. A lot of Episcopal church seemed very familiar to me, the "box" (tabernacle), the sanctuary lamp that's extinguished on Holy Thursday, the emphasis on Sacraments. I'd love to see a Roman Catholic church visit. :)

I think to cover Anglicanism he would need to visit a couple more churches and then try to stitch together an overall picture. Not easy to make sense of right now, but globally, the Anglican Communion is reforming broadly along the fault lines of postmodernism on the one hand, and historic, tried-and-true Christianity on the other. But COVID-19 is speeding up the process of the degeneration of the postmoderns.

Hello! Episcopal churches tend to be inclusive, yes! Wonderfully so. The worship style may feel "Catholic" but having grown up Catholic- they are wildly more open in general to evwryone. Most United Church of Christ (UCC) churches also are- the individual churches can choose for themselves (usually "Congregational" churches- but not all Congregational churches are in the UCC denomination), but are encouraged to be "open and affirming" or atleast welcoming to all. UCC churches will usually include some outward sign on their websites and FB pages that they are inclusive!

Not only did I appreciate the questions and answers, but I learned a lot about the Episcopal Church that I didn't previously know. I hope you continue these wonderful visits and interviews, and I pray that your efforts continue to show all of us that, as followers of Jesus, we can have so many approaches, but we're all running the same race toward the same goal!

A few things caught my attention from the visits you did that I watched (Eastern Orthodox, Anglican and Episcopalian) is the connection to the Catholic Church. I would love to see a visit to a Catholic Church and see how they answer your questions. I like it when you asked if what the person was saying was there opinion or the actual teaching if the Church.

I'm loving this series. I was raised as a Methodist, became Pentacostal as a young adult, married a Baptist/ Evangelical and lived that out for 18 yrs, and then we both became Roman Catholic. I'm particularly interested in how much of Roman Catholicism was preserved in these churches that split from the Catholic church early on. It would kind of be fascinating if you started with Catholicism and then followed the trail of all of the churches that came later in history just to see what "sticks"....better yet, Go to a synagogue! That would be super interesting.

@@MattWhitmanTMBH I really like the longer format. I don't think you can do the subject justice with a shorter video. As it is, it's only a taster on the complexity of a faith tradition. A short, ten minute taster would be a good addition to whet the appetite. I'm going back to teaching soon and I would be able to use something shorter in my classes with the kids so those who were interested could go on to the longer format. But I think the longer is necessary.

As a pastor with a few degrees under my own belt, I have to say that I haven’t had so much fun watching and learning, in some cases re-learning, about our brothers and sisters in the Lord. No, I do not agree with everything each of the pastors has said. In a couple of cases I wanted to jump through the screen and throt.............errr..........I mean, offer a.......thought provoking differing opinion than theirs lol!!! For far too long we have attempted to backbite each other. I know as I grew up Roman Catholic, was going to go to seminary after high school and took another route. Basically, I ran from God. Ashamed to admit it but I did for a decade or so. We need dialogue and no, talking alone will not mend the wounds overnight that took centuries to place. I did one master thesis on Luther’s reformation. All Luther desired was a dialogue to end the long train of abuses such as the selling of indulgences. For that he was nearly burned at the stake! We need more of this! Much much more! Thank you Matt for doing this series! It is incredible!

Quick note, in reference to one of the last things you said about being around some people who almost seem mad that everyone doesn't believe/think how they do... I LOVED the video you did at the Orthodox church, but kinda got the feeling several times the priest was trying to elevate his faith higher than all others, particularly over the Catholic Church. And I have found that to be a common situation... and it saddens me :/ I have really enjoyed this though! Keep it up!!
