Is an episcopalian the same a christians?

Answer 1

Christians are members of the religion called Christianity - that is they follow Jesus Christ as God incarnate, worship him as God the Son, and regard Jesus as one of the three persons of a trinitarian ("3 in one") God, One God yet Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Christianity is split into different 'denominations' - groups of Christians that differ slightly. They may have very slightly different beliefs about minor things (for example, Catholics believe in praying to saints but others do not) but overall the major christian beliefs across the denominations are the same. The main differences between denominations is in their style of worship and the way the groups are organised - for example, Baptists baptise by fully immersing the new Christian, whereas Anglicans tend to sprinkle water on the head instead.

Among the different denominations are Roman Catholics, Baptists, Methodists and many more. The Anglican Church (which originated as the Church of England) in America is called the Episcopalian Church. So this Church is a mamber of the 'Anglican' group of churches worldwide, and is a Christian Church much in the same way as catholics, Baptists and so on are Christian Churches.

Answer 2

Episcopalians are most definitely not excluded from becoming Christians.

Answer 3

Yes.
