The Episcopal Church, like the Roman Catholic Church and the Presbyterian Church, is a hierarchical church,

While the PCUSA now claims to be hierarchical for litigation purposes, true Presbyterians are not.

Who's the true Presbyterian? The name itself refers to a hierarchical structure, of Kirks, Presbyters, and General Assemblies, even once having synods. You might better argue that while Knox envisioned a Reformed Church, the Church of Scotland is, instead, very hierarchical.
