I appreciate your history and remarks. I left TEC in NOV 2003 when it consecrated the new, open homosexual, NH bishop Gene Robinson. Fled to the LC-MS and found a home. My last 3 strongest memories of the national cathedral are (1) POTUS #40 RWR’s 2006 funeral (positive), (2) the 2001 memorial service for the victims of 9/11 (negative), and (3) the 2011 Virginia earthquake which damaged some of the finial stones and buttresses - a Divine sign, perhaps? The 9/11 service, for me, was marred when they invited an Islamic cleric into the sanctuary and allowed him to deliver a prayer. I support eccumenism, to a point. All I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11. The current dean of the national cathedral is wallowing/celebrating in the mire of a dying denomination. It is hard to watch, and I try not to for fear of ending up like Lott’s wife.
