If that a shamed of the Christian faith, might as well close up shop and go home.

No worries here, episcopalians left Christianity a while back.

Arte Johnson said it well.

His post was in response to a video that was recently put online by the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts that explained the story of how the nautilus pediment design came to be. In it, the artist Donald Lipski explained that "I was trying to think of a symbol or an image that would be spiritual but not be religious."

What utter Hubris

They hired a secular idiot artiste and ended up with just what they asked for. Squat. But as one commenter reminded us, the Chief Priestess Shori was an expert on cephalopods, ie, squids and octopuses; and yes, nautiluses fit in that family. Too bad her squidness had no grounding in Christian theology before being "elected" to the high office of Pisky Priestess.

Episcopalians are not Christians. They’re just becoming more open about it.

I was senior warden of a very old (1832) Episcopal church in Tennessee back in the early 80s.
I guess it was just too good for the homosexuals and other assorted leftist to pass up.
It is so sad what became of the once great denomination.
I now attend the Catholic church.

"everyone I now refer to it as St. Paul's Fish House & Raw Bar since it looks more like the entrance to a fancy seafood restaurant than a cathedral." Father Jody Howard, a priest in Tennessee, agreed, commenting, "I sort of like the plain nautilus on the blue background. I'd especially like it if it were temporary... But the backlighting? It has Joe's Crab Shack written all over it..."

Ridicule the e-pals, they deserve it!

Wow is that ugly. It should be no surprise that the Ecopalian Presiding Bishopess, Ms Schori, wrote her PHD thesis on, I-kid-you-not: Giant Squids. Really.

Resembles a squid too in some ways.

I’m mildly curious to see the offending statue on this church from a religion no else likes anyway, but I don’t click on Huffington.

Many Italian churches built over the last 1600 or so years feature very disturbing decor pieces.

The front wall of the Sistine Chapel is a good example, including Michelangelo’s self-portrait of himself as an empty skin signifying how he felt after dealing with the church during his work on the chapel.

The good news is that none of this has the slightest thing to do with one’s salvation.
