. I was raised in the Episcopal church, sang in our children's choir - Gregorian chant, Latin canticles, etc. We were good. I miss it. """

ME too. The Episcopal Church had so many treasures - beautiful buildings, prayer book, hymns anthems and other music -- all tossed away (except the buildings, which are emptying out as a result). There really isn't anyplace that offers what the Episcopal Church used to. You can hear good Christian preaching at conservative protestant - or even some Catholic - churches, but you have to sit through a "christian" version of MTV music or worse. The dignity and beauty that was the Episcopal Church can't be found. And our kids are culturally (and spiritually and intellectually) deprived as a result.
