MEGA-churches have open doors for all looking for Christ!

Ping.

Simple question. When you think of Episcopalians, do you think of young people or people in their sixties?

[bonfire]

Just LOVE the S and M letter! lol

[AmericaUnited]

A pox on all these joke denominations. Really? Why would anyone waste their time?

Young gays and old straight people.

Her "different gifts" answer would have worked just as well if the question had been about alcoholism.

[Past Your Eyes]

Sixties???? How about eighties and even nineties.

They've lost their way and it's very, very sad. When a religion becomes all things to all people it ceases to be anything at all. Without rules and a strict belief system it's at best a social club.

Me? Honestly?
The first Episcopalians who popped into my mind were George & Barbara Bush who are obviously even older.

In our town, the only thing keeping the doors open on the Episcopal church is a group of evangelicals that rents part of their building on Sunday mornings and holds contemporary worship services. Once they build their own place -- which probably won't be long -- it's adios!

Exactly! And the same goes for marriage.

---Young gays and old straight people.---

You nailed it! Last time I visited my parent's old church that was exactly the situation. The Sunday school was gone! Although it is a ELCA church, a woman Episcopal minister was conducting the service (joint communion). I was there for my mother's memorial service. It was doubly sad because that church had departed as certainly as she had.

Different "gifts", but certainly not the same Spirit we're familiar with...

I feel sorry for the older people in the still reasonably Christian Anglican & Episcopalian Parishes out in the hinterland.
Many aren't about to leave Churches they've devoted their whole lives to building by gathering in money nickle by dime through bake sales, etc. only to now have it siphoned off to an urban 'head office' where it's being blown - so to speak - on floats in "Pride Day" parades ... and likely much worse.

Beyond all of their theological sins, apostate Church leaders also stand guilty of openly defrauding the elderly.
