Yes and No. The Episcopal Church has two views on what it means to be a saint. The first understanding of a saint, is any person who is a Christian, living or dead. Whether they have lived an ordinary life or an extraordinary life, being a Christian alone makes them a saint. The second understanding of a saint is a Christian who has been called by God to do extraordinary things and has followed that call. These people have lived extraordinary lives and have often times performed great acts of charity and even miraculous events both while alive and after death. Typically those Episcopalians that ascribe to the second view on saints have a deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and other saints as well. Episcopalians who ascribe more to the first view on saints typically do not have a devotion to Mary or to other saints, but rather see them as role models that we should look to when dealing with issues in our Christian journey. Episcopalians who ascribe to the first "higher" view on saints believe this as well, but they take it a step farther while in doing so, actually ask the saint to intercede for them.
