No really, what the heck is an "Episcopalian"?

Sometimes when people find out that I am an Episcopalian, I get asked: "Episcopalian"? "What is that?" "Are you like a Catholic?" "Are you a Protestant? , etc...  So thinking about that, I decided for the moment to take a more comical view (per Robin Williams) of what it means to be an Episcopalian, and later I will put some thought into what it means to me....
