A nice essay from Episcopalian Tucker Carlson of MSNBC (hat tip: Drell’s Descants). Excerpt:
If you needed someone to hold your wallet, or if you were lost in an unfamiliar
neighborhood and had to duck into a stranger’s house to use the bathroom, you
could do a whole lot worse than to meet up with an Episcopalian. No one has
better manners.And that may be the problem.
There’s a notable lack of urgency in most Episcopal churches. * * *[E]very once in a while, as I shift in my pew listening to one of our unusually
well-educated preachers expand on the Aramaic understanding of discipleship, I
do wish Jesus would come back, preferably in a massive ball of fire through the
ceiling of the church. Spiritually, I’m nowhere near ready to face something
like that. But it’d be worth it for the shock value.
