The Episcopal Church is a catholic (universal) church in liturgy and sacraments, but not a strictly hierarchical church. Here at St. Matthew's Cathedral we are under the authority of our local Bishop Pro Temporare, Paul E. Lambert. We are a church governed by bishops, priests, deacons, and laypersons.
The Episcopal Church is part of a worldwide Anglican Community that is loving, open, and welcomes all people. Follow this link to the website for the Anglican Communion.
