5. I adore my Episcopal church

I was raised Episcopalian, so when I decided to go back to church after 40 years away, that's where I went.

Not only is the church doing good things for LGBT rights, but it's also standing up to the international church and even some less...ahem...enlightened dioceses in the US. It makes me very proud. It would be easy to cave in in the name of getting along.

Plus, there's a woman in charge.

The ritual and liturgy are beautiful, as is the music. My hour+ on Sunday morning is my time of beauty and contemplation. I've even written words for a hymn, which my church performed a few weeks back. Definitely a high point of my life.

If you pressed me about my beliefs, I'd probably confess to being an agnostic, but because I'm Episcopalian, I call myself a Christian. (BTW, non-believers are welcome in my church as long as they respect the faith of the people around them.)
