I grew up as an Episcopalian, at that time as close to Anglican as one could get.
In my earlier days, the episcopal church in America was as fine as one could get.
In my later years I became the senior warden of the oldest (1832) episcopal church in west Tennessee.
Later came the gays to take over not only my church, but the entire ECUSA, and destroy it.

Now in the Philippines, I have no option but to align with the RC church. The central Catholic church in my town is older then America.
No doubt, many former Episcopalians have moved to the Catholic or Anglican church.
Unfortunately, it may be only a short time before the Anglican church becomes infected.

I’m RC. When I was younger I went to an Episcopalian service with a friend. I thought it was one of the most beautiful and elegant forms of worship I had ever seen.

The Anglicans are doing quite well, at least the majority in Africa, that hold to very traditional moral views, and now shun both the British Anglicans and the American Episcopalians.

Conservative Episcopalians in the US have been taking their churches out of their liberal dioceses and becoming African Missionary churches, which is perfect timing, because they now send wealth to Africa, where it is needed to build a huge number of churches right now, to handle all the formerly Muslim converts. Islam is hemorrhaging in black Africa.

Some of the conservative African Anglican bishops and archbishops have so many in their dioceses that they are effectively princes. Not leftist blowhards like Desmond Tutu, but profoundly conservative and moral people.

I grew up in the DC area and attended a wonderful Episcopalian church. We had a Children’s Choir (not jr choir) that rehearsed every Saturday morning from 9:00 am until noon. Mrs Adams was very demanding and expected nothing less than perfection. It was a thriving traditional family church. Now I belong to a local very small conservative Anglican congregation.
