I’d bet that a significant number of these women are attracted to Islam because it is theologically simplistic and because the idea of living a life steeped day-to-day religious devotion is very appealing to many women.

Of course, they could get the same thing out of Christianity if so many Christians didn’t roll their eyes every time these women said grace in public or refused to wear painted on clothing.

We don’t do a lot to recognize and support women who need the milk of custom and ritual before they tackle the meat of study and faith. In fact, we do everything we can to make our religion look just like our culture: a social justice wasteland.

No wonder some women are drawn to a belief system that is unashamedly religious. It’s the wrong religion, to be sure, but it admits to being a religion which is more than you’ll get out of the average Episcopal church these days.

That's if you get anything out of the Episcopal Church these days. Why else do you think we voted to leave?
