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.


Most of all we miss the weekly communion!!!

"The dignity and beauty that was the Episcopal Church can't be found."

Our Church left ECUSA in '92 and joined the The Episcopal Missionary Church. 1928 Prayer book, the first requirement for Priests is that they are heterosexual males, etc.

We've been growing about 20% a year until Robinson happened and since then it's been 35%.

There are alternatives out there, use a search engine for 1928 Book of Common Prayer and your location and most likely you'll find something.

Hang in, it's worth saving, just not with ECUSA, that's a lost cause.
