👉 Episcopalism is a theological belief that all believers are members of one and the same Godhead, and that this divine unity is expressed through the Church as an ecclesiastical body. It also emphasizes the importance of prayer, fasting, and charity in Christian worship and life. The term was first used by John Wesley in his 1729 sermon "A Sermon on the Epistle to the Romans" and has since become a central part of the Protestant faith.
