This is not an attack, but you’re still an Episcopalian??
It’s just too weird to even comment on...
It might seem strange to some.
My father's family was Episcopalian. My mother's family was profoundly puritanical, as was she; I never liked puritanism. I love the Episcopal Church for many reasons, one of which is its reasonable and practical approach to the divine. It has given me a structure of sorts from which to find deeper and deeper understandings, the foolishness of many Episcopalians notwithstanding.
Jesus Christ is my Guide and the only One to Whom I will entrust my immortal soul and rely upon--unconditionally--to lead me and protect me from any and all evil influences; I trust His guidance absolutely and completely. I made the commitment to follow Him wherever He should lead me at a very early age. I have never wavered. He has never let me down; on the contrary, He has brought me to a place very close to heaven on this earth. This commitment has taken me through many unexpected experiences and away from the Episcopal Church to a great extent but ever nearer to God.
This is deeply personal for me. I tell you this because I believe your question is sincere and one that I would not disregard.
"...and I thought this odd, considering the Founding Father of the Church of England..."
“Great, now we can get an abortion!”
Who gets custody of the butt plug?
You think a gay bishop getting divorced is too weird to comment on?
I raise you a former DRAG QUEEN running as a conservative Republican for the State Senate in North Carolina.

“Steve Wiles, 34, performed as “Miss Mona Sinclair” at Club Odyssey, the Winston-Salem Journal reported this weekend.”
He’s a minor primary challenger to an incumbent who’s sure to win.
The Jon Stewarts and Chelsea Handlers of the world will have a field day with this if they haven’t already.
“...You think a gay bishop getting divorced is too weird to comment on?...”
Yeah... overall, I think the whole damn fact that we ARE this far along the path to lunacy is too damned weird...
It’s just pathetic overall.
I’m pretty sure that when my old man and his band of brothers parachuted and glider-assaulted into Germany, making the world safe for psychosis like this wasn’t uppermost in their minds, ya know?
And besides... the last time a “Queen” was “dragged”... I think it was Marie Antoinette... dragged kicking and screaming to the guillotine.
(sorry.... had to...)
Now you have me wondering how the hell the word “drag” became associated with cross dressing.
Beats the hell outta me, brother.
Some slang from “back in the day” or whatever, who knows...
Lol! Good one.
I am still nondenominational currently with Mosaic church on MS gulf coast.
