The Scottish Episcopal Church is a historic and prominent religious institution in Scotland. As with any proper noun, there are no direct synonyms for the name of the church itself. However, when discussing the church more generally, there are a few related terms that might be useful to know. One is the Anglican Church in Scotland, which refers to the fact that the Scottish Episcopal Church is in the Anglican Communion. Another is the Episcopal Church, which is what it is typically called in the United States. Finally, some may refer to it as simply the Scottish Church or the Episcopal Church of Scotland, which still accurately describes the institution.
