The Episcopal Church is a Christian church divided into nine provinces and has dioceses in the United States, Taiwan, Micronesia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, as well as the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe and the Navajoland Area Mission. Because of its origins, the Episcopal Church is considered apostolic, as its bishops can be traced back to the apostles via holy orders.
