Episcopal

The root of the word is "overseer." It refers to a Bishop. It also refers to the Christian denomination, the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, which is part of the worldwide Anglican Church with its origins in the Church of England. (In Canada, it is the Anglican Church, in England it is the Church of England, in Scottland it is the Episcopal Church.) It began when Henry VIII broke off the church in England with the Roman Catholic Church (the Pope in Rome) and declared that the Church of England would be ruled from England, not Rome.

In the Episcopal Church in the Uniteed States, there is a structure of oversight which includes bishops with episcopal oversight over dioceses. Unlike the Anglican Church in other countries, Bishops are elected by conventions in each diocese with representation from clergy and laity.

wikipedia

An online encyclopedia that was created using a socialist method of production. Nobody owns Wikipedia, and nobody sells it or profits monetarily from it. Eveyone contributes what they can, and everyone shares equally in the finished product.

Wikipedia currently has over 200,000 articles.

Wikipedia and other GNU projects are proof of the power of socialism to accomplish what capitalism can't.

Clarita

From the little Filipina Clarita of Gubat. The word is Latin derived which means little Clara. Clara is derived from the Medieval name derived from Latin clarus "clear, bright, famous". Saint Clare, a follower of Saint Francis of Assisi, left her wealthy family to found the order of nuns known as the Poor Clares. This is also the name of an Irish county which was named for the Norman invader Richard de Clare (known as Strongbow), whose surname is derived from an English river.

Hi Clarita! It's me John.
