The Wider Church
St. Martha’s is a parish of [The Diocese of Lexington], which is a diocese of The Episcopal Church.

[The Episcopal Church] is an American development of the Anglican tradition, which traces its roots to the Church of England.  Over the last five hundred years, the hallmark of Anglicanism has been to chart a middle way between the historical continuity of Catholicism and the the self-reforming principle of Protestantism, between traditional liturgy and God's action in our lives today.

The Episcopal Church is a province of [The Anglican Communion], a community of independent churches with historic ties to the Church of England.
