Apparently the Cathedral's planners weren't satisfied with a hodge-podge building comprising various ill-applied historic European traditions—what it really needed was a contest for children to design a few pop elements. Much as I respect Darth Vader—I cherish the Dark Lord of the Sith more than I do most other Lords out there—I'd call this an aesthetic crime on par with the questionable establishment-clause propriety of the whole affair.

Mike, you have not yet realized your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to these Protestants.

If you only knew the power of the Dark Side.

It is your destiny. Join me, and we can rule the Episcopals. Come with me, it is the only way.

I have been waiting for you Obi Wan. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the the learner, now I am the master.

They are not Episcopals. They are Episcopalians. The word "Episcopal" is used as an adjective. "Episcopalians" is used as a noun. Episcopalians are not Protestants. They are Anglicans. This is a via media - somewhere between Protestant and Roman Catholic. Forgive me. This is a pet peeve of mine. Peace of the Lord.
