Local residents prefering to worship in the Angelical tradition attend Eucharist services at Christ Episcopal Church of Puyallup. A reuniting of Catholicism and Protestantism, probably the most notable distinction of the Episcopalian/Angelical tradition is that sermons and teachings are taken from what is called The Book of Common Prayer.
Like Catholics, the catechism is used as the basis for teaching and, as in Protestantism, there's a strong emphasis placed upon ensuring that the congregation is permitted to worship in their first or native language, as opposed to Latin. At Church of Puyallup new-comers can expect a liturgical mass filled with hymns and prayers which lead up to the Eucharist or Holy Communion. Christ Episcopal offers two Eucharists on Sunday and a Wednesday Eucharist that includes lunch.
