I go to a liberal church

What, you can't find a good one?

It’s complicated. I’ve gone to this church for almost 40 years. As far as Sunday services are concerned, no liberal stance or slant is discernible.

It’s only if you delve into the political side or take classes from a liberal teacher that you see the dark side.

The Episcopal Church in Texas is quite divided. My own diocese is mostly conservative but beneath the surface, battles rage as to whether to stick with the national church or break away.

At this point, I’ve done everything in the church from Sunday School teaching to altar guild and so on.

I’ve done my time. All I want now is a good service on Sunday and people I love and these things are present in my church.

The priest is a really nice woman but she’s a feminist. We also have a more conservative male priest.

No church is perfect.

I guess I stay in the church for the same reason Fish stays in a blue state. It’s where we are.
