ECUSA has been very parish-oriented for decades. If your own parish is in pretty good shape and you have a decent rector, you can ignore what's going on at 815 and the House of Bishops.

I will confirm this. Though a cradle Episcopalian, I had never heard of 815 or the House of Bishops. It wasn't until I attended a diocesan convention (ca. 1981) that I had any idea that things really weren't right in the church.

Since my parents are political animals from the word go, and we used to attend the local Cathedral, I knew as early as the 70s that things were running off the rails and there would be hell to pay someday.

But we just switched to a local parish with a (then) orthodox rector and ignored the problem for another 30 years . . . kinda dumb in retrospect, coulda joined the Catholic church back then and not had to make 45 years' worth of Confession all at once . . . < g >
