When I became an Episcopalian (born loving smells and bells), my mother said, "...but dear, our family left England in the 1600's to escape the Anglicans and be free to worship in their way without being persecuted." (I come from a line of liberal heretics: Baptists, Heugenots, Cathars, Puritans/Calvinists, Masons!). Amazing how the wheel turns! So I find the same freedom in the church my ancestors had to leave. Of course, I'm a Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi, Pagan, Jungian, High Church Episcopalian. Go figure!<br><br>Love the snark, keep up the shadow-work!Carol Plummernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381472662149763328.post-86567950609700088452012-11-21T17:33:45.000-05:002012-11-21T17:33:45.000-05:00P.S.: Join us at 10 a.m., Cathedral Church of Sain...P.S.: Join us at 10 a.m., Cathedral Church of Saint Luke, Portland, ME, tomorrow.
