To answer your question, that aside from tradition or habit, there is no reason to attend the Episcopal church, or any other liberal denomination. They are all cut from the same cloth. Personally, I love the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and the denomination's liturgical tradition; however, the clergy don't believe the content of their own liturgy. When a denomination prides itself on being opened minded and nonjudgmental, it can't turn around and say to someone that this is what you're suppose to believe, and this is how you're suppose to behave. So why not have books from all religions?

There's a simple litmus test: If your church belongs to the National Council of Churches, get out. They're really not churches, they're left-wing propaganda machines intended to promote socialism and communism.

So true. Also it is why a lot have separated from their "Mother Church" or head, and joined with another branch, I forget where,m but I think Africa somewhere? Don't quote me on that however.
