I'm not an Episcopalian, and cannot speak authoritatively on their canonization process, but my impression is that they don't have one in the formal sense in which the Romans do. In terms of actually officially naming anybody a newly minted Saint, I don't think they do so, but limit themselves to those who had already been canonized before Henry decided it was high time we had an English pope and besides, who says I can't get a divorce? watch me! (This was intended as 21st century humor, not 16th century diatribe.) However, certain more recent figures get treated as if... King, Bonhoeffer, maybe Mother Teresa? After all, half the time the last few years the Catholics talk like they've decided to award Martin Luther a posthumous cardinal's cap. And as far as the ecumenical implications of beatifying a Baptist preacher, it's worth noting that not one of the people the Anglicans formally venerate as Saints was actually an Anglican. And one of them (John the Forerunner) was a Baptist... [ Oh... it's not? ;-) ]
