The root of the word is "overseer." It refers to a Bishop. It also refers to the Christian denomination, the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, which is part of the worldwide Anglican Church with its origins in the Church of England. [In Canada, it is the Anglican Church, in England it is the Church of England, in Scottland it is the Episcopal Church.] It began when Henry VIII broke off the church in England with the Roman Catholic Church [the Pope in Rome] and declared that the Church of England would be ruled from England, not Rome.
Example
In the Episcopal Church in the Uniteed States, there is a structure of oversight which includes bishops with episcopal oversight over dioceses. Unlike the Anglican Church in other countries, Bishops are elected by conventions in each diocese with representation from clergy and laity.episcopal có nghĩa là
The Episcopal Academy is a preppy school. But what you don't realize is that the people writing these things in are just jealous cause they go to Haverford and lack girls. These people writing in go to one of the rival schools and have the same type cars, with the same "Main-Line" moms, and the same life style. The kids at EA are more real and down to earth then any of the schools in the Inter AC [the correct spelling]. Yes EA is misrepresented by losers that put their "sweet sixteen" on MTV.

Most commonly used to refer to the Episcopal Church or the Protestant Church in the United States of America. It is the National Church of the United States and a part of the Anglican Communion. The Episcopal Church has a membership of approximately 2.3 million and more than a quarter of all Presidents were Episcopalian. The Washington National Cathedral is an Episcopal Cathedral. The roots of the colonization, founding, leadership, and growth of the United States of America are very closely tied to the Episcopal Church.
Unlike many churches of similar liturgical background, the Episcopal Church allows ordained priests to be married, and the church ordains women [at every level, ie. Deacon, Priest, and Bishop].
Many consider the Episcopal Church to follow the via media or "middle way" between Protestant and strictly Catholic practices. Indeed, the Episcopal liturgy explicitly affirms belief in "one holy apostolic" church. Thus, many Episcopalians will argue that Roman Catholics are not the only "Catholics," but rather represent one of three branches of Catholicism--the Eastern Orthodox, the Roman Catholic, and the Episcopal or Anglo-Catholic. Episcopal liturgy, or the practice of the people in worship, does resemble that of the Roman Catholic Church, with certain differences, most notably the use of the Book of Common Prayer. -wikipedia
