[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:49, in some DC-area Episcopal churches you will see extraordinary racial, ethnic and economic diversity. Follow the Bishop and the EDOW and you will also see that the theology is not akin to Catholic theology. The EDOW came out strongly and publicly in support of gay marriage, for example, and gays and lesbians can marry at the National Cathedral. I find the Episcopal Church to be far more accepting and universal than you suggest.[/quote]

This is why our family loves our Episcopal Parish.  The congregation and the priests are diverse, accepting, loving and the theology has evolved away from the strict dogma and politics of the Catholic Church.  Say what you will about how liberal your Catholic Parish is, but if you are gay you can't be married in it.  And if you are strict practicing Catholic there is no room for conversations about contraception, divorce, or women holding leadership positions in the church.  Spend a morning with Bishop Mariann Budde (or just google her) and you will get a sense of how incredibly different the Episcopal Church is from the Catholic Church.  So to answer your question, the EDOW is NOT Catholic light, it is completely different in very fundamental ways.[/quote]
