I like this video, as well as "Around One Table". I'm not Episcopalian, but have been considering visiting an Episcopal church. I have trouble with the idea of Biblical literalism, am resistant to the concepts of the incarnation and sacrificial absolution. I see about as much that's threatening in the BIble as what is hopeful. Yet - I cannot be unaffected by Christian ideals of love and compassion. The emerging identity of the Episcopal church seems like a place that I may feel welcome.

I am still amazed and saddened by the tone of the conversation between people on the subject of faith and justice issues. God calls us to love God and our neighbor. We love God BY loving our neighbor--be he or she a financial planner, a truck driver, a schoolteacher, or even a child. The Church isn't a building, it is a body of faithful people. We aren't called to like each other, we are called to love each other. I know it's difficult, but let's keep trying.

The TEC is spitting in the face of God's Word by consecrating Gay Bishops.

Time for all true believers in this "Church" to come home to Rome.

Thank you for making this video. Brought tears to my eyes! This is why I belong to TEC and keep coming back- one word: HOPE!

TEC, like the Wicked Witch in The Wiz, adopts a "Don't bring me no bad news" policy. Filtering the truth is propaganda. TEC has an agenda. State of the Church report was revised to the point of a whitewash before it was allowed to be published. When one knows 1st hand what happens in a diocese, then reads Ep. Life's spin on it, there is a disconnect. When the bad news is reported as equally as the good, we might begin to trust these publications.

There's only so many people they could survey, and there would be selection bias if they allowed people to ask to be included.

What specifically did you find to be like propaganda?

It's mainly a description of themes that come to mind when people think of the Episcopal Church, and its intent is to describe what unifies the church and to a degree what makes the EC unlike other churches. If these survey results have somehow been manipulated into propaganda, I'd like to see specific examples.

I enjoyed this video. Some people question where is faith. Well, I prefer to see faith in action through social programs. Helping is how you honor God.

boring

The video has nothing to do with the report, The report itself is a series of vague generalities that is useless and meaningless; the kind of thing corporations hire consultants to produce, then throw in a drawer. It's laughable.

Incidentally, how big a cup are we talking about? D or double D?
