Christian denomination

Anglican / Episcopal

Gfluencers Christian profiles are respectful, factual and sourced. We don't rank denominations or Christian leaders, teachings are attributed to their source, ministry titles are shown as publicly used, and verification of a profile is not an endorsement.

About the tradition

Anglicanism developed from the Church of England. The Anglican Communion is a worldwide family of self-governing churches — including the Episcopal Church in the United States — that regard the Archbishop of Canterbury as a focus of unity.

A neutral summary for orientation. Gfluencers does not rank or compare Christian traditions.
