dsc - As a former Episcopalian I can feel your pain. LOL! The Episcopal church I attended before I became Catholic was a beautiful gothic-style church, the liturgy was Rite I, and the music was heavenly English choral with excellent organ. But it is all a “whited sepulchre” because of various reasons. Anyway, yesterday we attended the little Catholic church near our farm and I specifically wore my long chapel veil, so that I could discreetly put my hands over my ears while the “choir” was singing, accompanied by some sort of electronic synthesizer piano/organ, played in a very old-timey Southern Baptist way! Although it was hard, I “offered up” my suffering (which it literally was) and asked the angels to sing louder than the “choir.” Plus, the homily was really questionable. But Jesus was there and that's really all that counts.
