So is that a cryptic way of saying you are not a member of a local church ... and under the authority of a plurality of elders who have been vetted and ordained and whose primary responsibility is to shepherd you in sound doctrine?

[SubMareener]

I attend a Episcopal Church because the liturgy still contains “sound doctrine” even if the Church leaders don’t. They are a combination of Anglican and Mainline.

Anglican – You have two cows. They have strikingly different concepts about what it even means to be a cow. Eventually, one submits to the Pope.

Mainline – You have two cows. One is dead. The other doesn’t look so good. You form a committee to study the issue. Or rather, to study other issues. You write up the committee’s findings for the newsletter. The second cow dies. You have some coffee cake and go home.
