FWIW, if I learned anything as an Episcopal priest it's that if you asked most of what was then "us" and is now "them" if they believed in the Bible they'd start by saying that it depended on what you meant by "believe," and go on to say that Anglicanism was supported on the three-legged stool of Scripture, Reason, and Tradition. To this, while I was in seminary people who knew neither that four legs will usually wobble or what "reason" means were trying to add the fourth leg of "experience".
Ah, I'd like to hear your story someday!

Yes, people of this day and age oftentimes will take what they find as convenient towards their own projects. Nothing wrong with "experience" per sec, but without an objective grounding - the Church - it is highly subjective and we have very little proof to show it is from God or not.
