The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, a global fellowship of 73 million Christians in 38 self-governing provinces. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. Justin Welby. While he is sometimes compared to the Roman Catholic Pope, a more accurate description of Archbishop Welby’s role is that he is \u201cfirst among equals\u201d with his brother and sister bishops from throughout the Anglican Communion. Holy Spirit is a member of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, a diocese within the national Episcopal Church. The Bishop of our diocese is The Rt. Rev. Glenda Curry, whose office is located in downtown Birmingham.<\/p>\n
