Reply #52: The Episcopal Church also has the

[Jane Austin]

line of episcopal (bishops) succession all the way back to St. Peter.

The break back in England was a political one, which broke the ties to the Papacy in Rome, but not the line of succession.

The Episcopal liturgy is virtually identical to the Roman Catholic one, and even includes transubstantiation, unlike most other Protestant churches.

You can find a parish that will have a smorgasbord of services, from folk masses to high church services complete with inscence. There are even some charismatic Episcopal Churches.

Besides the lack of fealty to Rome, there is also less emphasis on Mary than the Roman church generally practices.

Try a few parishes out. You will find plenty of other communicants there who grew up in the Roman Catholic Church.
