The Episcopal Church is the centre of my life. It was the first body of people, outside of my blood family, to accept me into their fold without question. That occurred on September 20, 1964, the day of my baptism. I've belonged to that Church ever since. I am fortunate in that I was brought up in the Church that would become my spiritual home. I know many people who, dissatisfied or alienated from the Church in which they were brought up, had to go and find their parish home (or their own religion) as adults. There has never been any doubt that the Episcopal Church is where I belong. That's not to say that the Church is perfect, for I often find myself angry at some of the things I see happening in the Church. Neither do I agree with everything that she teaches. Far from it. But, there is room in this Church for diversity, and there is room for dissent, in spite of what the naysayers (particularly the AMiA) would have us believe. Right or wrong, I truly believe that the Episcopal Church tries to accept all. It's the attempt that counts, at least for me. Even if the attempt fails, the willingness allows for a second attempt that just might succeed.

Below are a few topics which I find to be relevant about the Church. Being the historian that I am, I have written a short ecclesiastical history, from the Anglican perspective. I have also written a few words about the issue of sexuality, which of course, is dear to my heart, and which the Church is honestly confronting in a serious, determined matter. I will be adding them to this site in the near future. Other topics will be added in the future, some may be deleted.. I have separated them, since I know that not every body will be interested in all of them. But, enjoy the ones you do read. And, if you wish to write me concerning anything I have written, please feel free to email me. I'd be glad to hear from you.
