I grew up as a fundamentalist Evangelical. I chose to become an Episcopalian after university and attending a major Evangelical theological seminary. It became evident to me that conservative, fundamentalist Christianity is Christianity at its worst, most harmful, and most intellectually dishonest. I have found intellectual and spiritual freedom in the Episcopal Church.
Conservatives often condemn the Episcopal Church because it does not insist on only one theological understanding more specifically, not their own. They claim it is not Christian because it doesn't insist on their narrow Interpretation of Christianity.
Let's face it, liberal and progressive viewpoints are regularly attacked by more conservative Americans in all venues now, politics, religion, economics, and philosophy. As a progressive, I am getting used to it but I have no intention of changing the way I see life or the way I see God.
facebook's algorithm sometimes flags stuff more or less at random. once it does, there's basically no way to get them to reconsider. they don't seem to have humans double checking it at any point...so yeah, the best bet is just to repost with a different url.
Trump’s crypto scam is $Trump meme coin. $.18 to $75, now $17. 31 accts gain $669M. 813k accts lose a total of $2B. Trump family transaction fees=$100M. Trump reduces crypto regs as OMB kills consumer financial watchdog!💸
I grew up Episcopalian. The church has changed. It is barely a part of the Christian religion anymore. It has shrunk to the point of being barely a footnote in surveys of Americans. I loved the Book of Common Prayer - and even though I am now Catholic, I will recite the Prayer of Humble Access to myself before receiving communion. But the days of the Episcopal Church's faithfulness to salvation and righteousness have faded to mere memory. Historically, it appealed to the elite, but in a post-Christian society where no one feels compelled to attend a church, it has lost its attraction, and no amount of bending its beliefs to become fashionable again will restore its spiritual character. Theologians like C.S. Lewis would not recognize it anymore.
