Their denomination is "not just a lifeboat for disenchanted Episcopalians," James Mathis said. "We want this to be a place anyone can come, regardless of religious background."

Relatively few of those in my APCK church are ex-Episcopalians. As often or more, we've been home to Catholic-Protestant marriages who found common ground.

St. Philip's inclusiveness included hiring a lesbian priest ... The vestry "felt she was the best candidate the diocese gave us," she said.

I'm willing to believe that she is probably correct. What does that say about the other candidates -- and the bishop?

I'm glad the writer at least attempted to balance both sides. You can tell it went against the grain, though. The progressive church has "flair" while the Anglo-Cathlics use "archaic" language.

Funny. I never noticed that the language in the 1928 BCP was archaic. I guess if you manage to read the KJV more than once in your life, the repetition improves your English so much that you have to go back to Chaucer for really archaic language. Sheesh!
