8. I am also Episcopalian. "All the pomp and none of the guilt."

Here in the Washington diocese the atmosphere is very open and liberal. Many Episcopalians are also involved in other spiritual pursuits aside from classic Christian practice.

Same-sex marriage ceremonies are performed here, including at National Cathedral. Our former assistant rector was married there to her partner. There are many female clergy, and many gay clergy. Open and welcoming.

Though there are conservative pockets in our diocese, and a few conservative dioceses themselves, most who are trying to take themselves out of the church.
