80. The liturgy is familiar--

Jun 2021

but it seems to me that the theology emphasizes the gospel's message of love, rather than original sin. I saw a meme recently that said, "The Episcopal Church--worship like a Catholic, think like a hippie." Priests are allowed to marry (including same-sex marriages) and women are ordained. There has been some splintering off over the years because of decisions like that, but they've held strong. Bishop Curry is great.

I hope you enjoy if you try it!
