The answer is determined by the church you wish to be a part of. It may be eight years, it may be no time at all, or anything in between. Utah attempted to set a legal requirement for schooling of ministers, and the law was overturned. In short, there cannot be a legal requirement to be a minister, that conflicts with the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution, so the requirements are all set by the church.

The Episcopal Church is the American province of the Anglican Communion. When the Anglican Church came to America, the church was re-named after the American Revolution in order to distinguish itself from the English Church (The Church of England). The Term 'Episcopal' was chosen since the Anglican Church has an 'episcopal' governmental structure. The word 'episcopal' or 'episcopos' is Greek for 'bishop.' Thus all churches that are governed by bishops have an 'episcopal' structure. It seemed like a logical choice of term to identify the new Anglican province in the America's. Thus, the name 'The Episcopal Church' was chosen. However, it's full legal title, which is used on formal documents and resolutions is 'The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America'However, for the sake of ease, this title is used solely on legal documents and resolutions. In the 1950's there was great debate as to drop the term 'protestant' from the title. The argument was that the Anglican Church came out of The English Reformation as opposed to the Protestant Reformation. The English Reformation, which gave birth to the Anglican Communion, broke ties with Rome over politics, not theology. The Protestant Reformation, which was started by Martin Luther, began as an uprising due to theological corruption in the Roman Church. Ultimately the resolution was passed, and the term 'protestant' was dropped from the title. Currently, the church is known best as just 'The Episcopal Church'. ---- ; Main Entry : epis·co·pal ; Pronunciation : \i-ˈpis-kə-pəl, -bəl\ ; Function : adjective ; Etymology : Middle English, from Late Latin episcopalis, from episcopus bishop - more at bishop ; Date : 15th century 1: of or relating to a bishop2: of, having, or constituting government by bishops3capitalized : of or relating to The Episcopal Church representing the Anglican communion in the United States
The Anglicans do not have a Pope, but rather have a collegial system, similar to the Orthodox Church. In theory, the reigning British Sovereign, currently Queen Elizabeth II of England, is still considered to be the "supreme governor of the Church of England" and Defender of the Faith. In practice, the Archbishop of Canterbury, currently Rowan Williams, usually exercises primatial authority over the worldwide Anglican Communion. As the Anglican Primate, he exercises authority as first among equals, similar to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople in the Orthodox Church. The Anglicans also have a General Synod, which makes their legal decisions and also decides on spiritual matters.
