I thought the Episcopal Church refused to recognize divorce...

At least a good friend, a life-long Episcopalian, was not allowed to marry in the Episcopal Church, in the 21st century, because one of the parties was divorced...

...and I thought this odd, considering the Founding Father of the Church of England...

...and I'm an Episcopalian.

I'm sure it's just me. I'm confused. I'm sure that if if understood I would understand...or something like that...

Not sure how to take your post, so I'll choose black & white. Your close friend may well have been tyring to marry in 1 of the "continuing Anglican churches" which broke away from ECUSA/TEC. Some of them are very orthodox and will not marry a divorced person.

This is not an attack, but you’re still an Episcopalian??
