Welcome to Christianity.SE. For a quick overview, please take the Site Tour. About your question, it's not clear to me exactly what you're asking. Are you asking what the Episcopal Church means when it uses the response, "The Word of the Lord" in its liturgy? If so, that could be answerable here. But if you're asking a general question about what the Word of the Lord is, that's far too broad for this site. See: What topics can I ask about here? – Lee Woofenden Dec 13 '16 at 0:59

The answer to this question is defined for the Episcopal Church in particular, and Anglicans more generally, in the sixth of the Thirty Nine Articles [of Religion].
More particularly, the phrase "The Word of the Lord" is used in the service of Holy Communion, and in the offices of Morning and Evening Prayer to denote the conclusion of a reading from the Bible, the beginning of which was denoted by announcing the source of the reading, for example "A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians". The chapter and verse at which the reading begins may also be specified.
