[quote=Anonymous]Also a "cradle" Episcopalian here.  When my children were younger, we went to St. Columba's.  It is extremely well-organized for the preschool crowd.  However, when I attended the "real" service (ie, the non-preschool service in the main church) I found it too political for me.

We recently joined St. John's Norwood (this may be too far for you - it's in Chevy Chase @ corner of Bradley and Wisconsin).  It is smaller, family-friendly and I really like it.  The Sunday school is very well-organized and attended, but the church is not huge.  I really like the rector, and so far I am happier with the sermons at this church than maybe any other church I've attended so far - the sermon is always directly related to the reading/gospel of the day (for people of non-Episcopalian background this comment may sound strange but this is the first church I've gone to where this is reliably the case!)  I don't feel like I'm being "preached at" or the sermon is aimed at congratulating me on the rightness of my political views.  I actually like listening to the sermon (new for me), and I often I feel like I learn something.  The church also is very committed to social outreach which I appreciate.[/quote]
