From Joy In The Journey-Why the Episcopal Church? The Episcopal Church exists for people like me, and people quite different from me, of course. People who differ in race, ethnicity, background, social status, occupation, theology, and preferences of pizza toppings, but people who are similar in their commitment to the saving grace of God in Christ. I tried to compose a list, or an essay extolling the virtues of the Episcopal Church. However, I guess I am becoming a true Episcopalian, because all I could come up with was a story of when the church broke open my heart.
Three years ago, I was a fledgeling Christian searching for a new spiritual home. I was all atwitter with thoughts. The mystery of Christ entranced me, the mystery of a God who so loved the world--this crazy, messed-up, petty, polluted world and all of us crazy people in it--that he gave up his own son--a part of himself--to save it. Once I bought into this incredible story, then I wanted to experience it. I wanted to be knocked down by it, made quiet by it, brought to tears by it. I wanted the whole extravaganza. But, I was nervous.
