Episcopalians "believe in" the communion of saints, but (as a general rule) don't "pray to" them for favors. I was raised RC and as a child, if I lost something, my mother would say "Pray to St. Anthony!" I don't believe that anymore.

Mary is revered as the mother of Jesus, but not as an advocate of Jesus or of God. The Assumption is not canon, although I'm sure a lot of "recovering Catholics" in the Anglican communion still subscribe to that belief.

They name their churches after various saints.
