Episcopalianism is the belief system promoted by the Episcopal Church, which is part of the Anglican Communion. It is a mainline Protestant denomination.
The Episcopal Church has ordained women since 1974 and consecrated women bishops since 1989. It has ordained gay and lesbian priests since 1989 and consecrated a gay bishop, Gene Robinson, in 2003, and a lesbian bishop, Mary Douglas Glasspool, in 2010. It may perform same-sex weddings (at the discretion of the local bishop, since 2009).
The Episcopal Church maintains full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht, the Philippine Independent Church, the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar, the Church of Bangladesh, the Church of North India, the Church of South India, and the Church of Pakistan.
