Wow! I'm planning on being in the area late April/early May, and hope to visit (conflict with my province's national HQ on O Street, D.C.).
Being a good Baptist I wasn't paying much attention to the split until I got out here. It's worse than a very public, messy divorce.
You are SO correct on that! But heresy has that effect...
On the plus side, I am learning all about the Book of Common Prayer while I'm out here. :-)
Are they using the 1928 BCP (and not the horrible 1979)? If you want to know about Anglicanism, it's all there -- as somebody said, our "magisterium" is bound up in that book. I'm very interested in hearing your reactions, back-channel or otherwise...
It's a lovely church. Lots of history, going back to George Washington's day. And Rector Yates is wonderful. He's a very calming personality, even with all the turmoil going on with the diocese.
As to which version, I'll check tomorrow and let you know. :-)
