Episcopalians and the Real Presence

Question:

Do Episcopalians believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the consecrated Eucharist?

Answer:

Some Anglicans believe that the bread and wine truly become the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist, and other Anglicans believe the species are merely a symbol. Both versions are accepted by the various churches in the Anglican communion, including the U.S. Episcopal Church.
