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

Yes.

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.
