Heaven is a state in which the vision of God is enjoyed in a "life of perfect service" of God.

Episcopalians do not believe in a physical heaven or hell; these are "states of being." The departed in whom there is some possibility of goodness are prepared for full enjoyment of God by such cleansing and purifying as they may require--in a way, this resembles the idea of "purgatory." But Episcopalians do not use the term in the official teaching because they feel that it is often associated with crude ideas of payment and penalty and the like.

By "resurrection," the Episcopal Church means not raising of the physical body we now possess but the re-creation by God of the total personality of man with a "spiritual body"--that is, with an instrument of self-expression and a means for continuing fellowship, appropriate to a heavenly life.
