This publication serves as a comprehensive and accessible guide to the terminology, doctrines, customs, and history associated with the American Episcopal Church. It aims to provide churchgoers, clergy, and interested individuals with a thorough understanding of various aspects of the church and its practices. At the start of the text, the author expresses the need for a practical church dictionary that is complete yet affordable for all members of the congregation. He shares his conviction that familiarity with the church's language can enhance disciples' understanding of their faith. The author emphasizes the intended audience as "busy people" requiring a concise reference, and outlines the dictionary's structure, which will be organized alphabetically, with cross-references to enhance comprehension. This opening sets the stage for a thorough exploration of topics relating to the church's traditions, rituals, and ecclesiastical terminology. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
