Can someone explain to me the relationship between the Anglican, Lutheran, and Episcopal churches

Not sure about the Lutherans, but I do know that their ceremonies are very similar to those of the Episcopalians and the Catholics.

To put it in simplest terms, the Anglican Church is another name for the Church of England, and the Episcopal Church is the American branch of the Anglicans. I'm not sure if branches in other countries (besides England) call themselves Anglican or Episcopalian. Regardless, these churches all have ceremonies similar to those of the Catholic Church, as they all have common roots from the Catholics.

Thanks for clearing that up.
