I realized, at some point before my first communion in the late 60's, that American Episcopalians are just plain wierd.

I'll present myself as exhibit A...

It didn't start with gay bishops.

It didn't start with ordaining women decades ago.

It probably didn't start with the revision of the Book of Common Prayer in the mid 60's, but that's when it came to my awareness.

People say Mormons, Christian Scientists, etc. are wierd.

Just wait until some of us unhinged Epicopalians come knocking at your door.

I recall an interview with the Sr priest of a large Episcopal church in Baltimore in the late 60's. He was proud to inform me that he did not consider himself a Christian. "Buddhism is closer to my spiritual beliefs," he said.
