I've seen it before. It fits us to a T. I particularly like the line "same religion half the guilt"

until I converted to atheism. As a child, I was a Southern Baptist and started attending the Episcopal church when I was a teen because I was tired of hearing sermons by the Baptist preachers about how we were all going to hell if we did not accept Jesus.

It always filled me with a bit of pride being part of the same church he was.

But that is the one where he talks about Thanksgiving - which is THE Episcopal holiday now.

Of course, that is because John Wesley started out as Church of England.

I came from Lutheran, too much emphasis on sin nature and not enough on love and redemption. I have never felt more home since we've been going to an Episcopal church. We have attended for about a year, and plan to have our baby girl baptized their soon. Our Priest is very progressive but also very balanced and has been able to bring many people from different sides of issues to common agreement.
