Episcopalian has some church hierarchy (bishops, etc.). I don't think that Baptists have a church hierarchy.

There is a Baptist hierarchy within the church consisting of the Pastor and selected Deacons; however, if you are refering to a hierarchy within the denomination, then no, there is not a Baptist hierarchy.

Episcopalians are part of the Anglican Communion and have a hierarchical structure with bishops, while Baptists are autonomous and congregationalist with no central authority. Episcopalians practice infant baptism and believe in sacraments, while Baptists practice believer's baptism and focus on the symbolic nature of ordinances. Episcopalians also tend to have a more liturgical worship style compared to Baptists.
