"I belong to an Episcopal Church in CT. Its just the opposite. They sermons are invariably based on the days readings. No politics has ever been mentioned by any of the four rotating ministers. I feel pretty good going there. The church is mostly made up of Catholics who go there to get away from the Catholic Churchs weekly begging for money and animosity towards its own parishioners."
What a nasty thing to say. This is a thread about the Episcopal Church. Your nasty, petty, unkind, remark was quite unnecessary.
If you have confession in your Episcopal Church, you might want to think about going.

Our former bishop, now Jolette, Indiana’s problem, exemplifies that statement. He closed nine churches. Although mine was one of those, I understood why. Attendance was down because population decreased from when many churches were built. However, he then demanded, saying that God instructed (?!), that we give $9 million for a new cathedral. Needless to say this did not go over well. Those who sent their WWII checks to build the current cathedral were now being asked to leave their life’s savings for the new?

I report to you what people have told me about why they moved to the church and you tell me I've sinned.
What's that about judging others the Church teaches us?
