Is the Protestant church the same as the Lutheran Church?

The Anglican Communion is based upon individual churches organized nationally, with various names around the world, who are in communion with the Church of England. The original name of the Episcopal Church was the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America (PECUSA). Episcopal is simply a word meaning "having bishops."

In the UK there are four national churches, none of which is called the Anglican Church. (The Church of England, the Church in Wales, the Church of Ireland, and the Scottish Episcopal Church.) There is an Anglican Church in Canada and in Australia, but many different names throughout the world. http://www.anglicancommunion.org/tour/in... In the United States some schismatic bodies objecting to the inclusion of women and/or non-celibate homosexuals in the clergy call themselves "Anglican," but they are not, as yet, in communion with the Church of England.

It would probably be correct to say that the U.S. and Canadian branches of the Anglican Communion are more "liberal" (as that term is employed) then much of the communion in Africa and South America.

I am an Episcopalian in a socially liberal parish with very traditional worship--and we are booming with 20s and 30s new members. The Episcopal Church does generally tend to be more liberal than its UK parent. We use the term Episcopal because we have bishops (episkopoi in Greek), and yet we are independent of the Anglican mother church.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
