There really is no Episcopal church anymore. What used to be the Episcopal church has become a meeting place for various individuals who want pretend to be religious. The various changes over the past twenty-five years have reduced the Episcopal church to a rude joke from what was otherwise a major religion.

Well that could be said of almost any religion; all kind of people show up, for all kinds of reasons.

But most, I think are finding a 'way' to practice some spiritual dicipline and trying to find, or sustain some Faith.

It's the result of separation form true Apostolic teaching authority 500 years ago.

When a church is founded by an earthly king, where else might that church go, except off into error and oblivion?

The changes actually started back in the 60s -- but yes, it's dying.

Church used to be a place where you learned about His word, His love and your resposibility. Today you hear about his love, now go love one another.

Eh, responsibility? What's that?

No thanks.

I went to a christening at an Episcopal church several years ago, although you could have fooled me. The service was more like a meeting of the Communist Party USA than any religious ceremony.
