4. Hi, friend. So, a long answer to a short question!

Mar 2013

Since my wife was coming from pretty rigid (catholic) and me from quite flexible/liberal (UCC - which in New England is very informal), we thought Episcopal was a good blend of ritual (the prayer book, but no pope, celibacy, and far more diverse and accepting - more liberal) and great music. Music is really important to us - Vaughan Williams wrote the Episcopal hymnal! - so it kind of fit in all sorts of ways.

The only reason we are not practicing Episcopal here in Raleigh is that it seems to have a far more bible belt, evangelical feel to it down here in the south, relative to the north - and we are not comfortable with that.

Hope that helps!
