Did you know that originally The Episcopal Church didn't have bishops?
Before The Episcopal Church became The Episcopal Church, we were essentially a mission branch of the Church of England. Specifically, we were run through the Diocese of London. Technically the Bishop of London was our bishop.
That changed when the American Revolution happened. To survive as a church, we could no longer be connected to the Church of England. This meant we were no longer a part of the Diocese of London and we no longer had a bishop.
To ordain a bishop, you must first have 3 other bishops present for the ordination. In England, though, to be ordained a bishop you must pledge loyalty to the crown. This was going to be a problem for American bishops.
Fortunately the Scottish Episcopal Church was willing to help. They were willing to ordain our first bishop, The Rt. Rev. Samual Seabury, as long as the soon-to-be-known Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States of America would consider some things for the first American Prayer Book, including adopting their Eucharistic Prayer, which we did.
If we didn't have bishops, we couldn't have been called The Episcopal Church. The Scotts helped us on the road to making bishops a reality for our Church.
