[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up Catholic and attended an Episcopalian church for a few years as an adult. It felt like a country club with communion thrown in once a week. I was originally drawn to it for its lack of extreme positions on anything, but it all just felt pretty bland after a while. Lots of rich old white people who live in the nicest neighborhood of a very segregated city trying by really hard to appear to care about contemporary social issues and happy to throw money at them, but ultimately just looking for opportunities to trade business cards under the guise of fellowship.

But that’s an isolated impression and obviously all Episcopalian churches are not like that. [/quote]

Wait . . . did I write this?  Seriously, I totally get what you're saying PP.  The Frozen Chosen.   [/quote]

I could have so written this.  I was active with an Episcopalian group though kid activities a long time ago but got tired of the forced snobbishness and forced exclusivity.  I don't think those people can help themselves.  It's way too entrenched in their culture.  The Episcopalian church can be wonderful (Truro in Fairfax City, but haven't gone in eons).  It can also be hidebound and at its worst it is nothing less than an extension of a country club social circle. [/quote]
