I'd be tempted to attend. As it stands now, I won't get within 10 feet of one. Nothing but toxic energy.

Not to mention, our pastor is a lesbian. But I do understand where you're coming from-- most other churches around here really disgust me, what with some of the things they say.

All we have around where I live are right wing evangelical churches (like Warren's huge Saddleback Church) and of course the catholic churches.

Granted, not all Episcopal churches are good ones, but the ones that are good are great. I attend an amazing church in Oakland.

If you check their website and see they're a member of either Oasis or Integrity, they're LGBT affirming and likely to be a good congregation.

I guess the logic behind that stupid joke has been flown into the ground now.

Thanks for this post, in my humble opinion we really need to hear more stories like this.
