What is the difference between Anglican and Episcopalian? When I read histories of Reformation and CounterReformation England I hear both Anglican and Episcopalian. Are they one in the same? Or actually 2 seperate congregations?

The Episcopal [i.e. the Bishops'] Church it the American branch of the Anglican Communion. The name was changed after the American Revolution; it was not considered wise at the time to be called the Church of England!

I can't help you there, Samwise. I think there is an Anglican ping list and someone from that will know all the nuances for sure.
