Actually, I’d put its beginning at the merger with the United Brethren to become the United Methodist Church. Mid-60s - downhill ever since

I must agree. Recently I went to a "traditional Anglican" church that is one that did not follow the Episcopal Church (ECUSA)'s slide into homosexualism. I was so moved by the liturgy, completely reminiscent of my childhood in the Methodist Episcopal faith.

I spent my high school years in an Anglican church (that was one of two choices in Caracas for English-speakers)and got a bit bored with the liturgy’s repetitiveness. Then I grew up - 20 years later, I realized that virtually all that stuff came from Scripture or one of the Creeds, and that I had memorized it an now knew what it meant! There are times when I love the liturgy - more and more as I get tired of the emotional manipulation (probably unintentional) that happens (or is attempted) at our contemporary service (and I’m a worship leader/musician). Problem is, the “traditional” service doesn’t use liturgy either. Not sure where Mrs. jagusafr and I will end up, now that the kids are grown. I want the teaching of an Acts 29 church without the smoke machines.
