As an Episcopalian it may be counterintuitive for your DH to think that participating in a religious service is disrespectful, but that is the case with the Catholics.[/quote]

There are many situations when a person who doesn't belong to a religious group can participate only in limited ways. For instance, I have heard Episcopal ministers invite "all baptized Christians" to take communion. That leaves out an awful lot of people. The Episcopal DH can't help to form a minyan (maybe if he's Jewish by descent?).  The Mormon temple is, as I understand it, off-limits to those who don't belong to the church. I would not speak in a Quaker meeting for worship unless I became a regular attender and then felt called to speak.

And so on -- there are examples all over the place.

You are giving extreme examples. Episcopal service is almost exactly the same as Catholic mass - hence why an episcopal person would not think it was against the rules to take Eucharist in a catholic mass. Now, if an episcopal person went to a Hindu rite, it would be obvious to him that they don't belong and only observe.[/quote]
