That's just the local Bishop, hell the man has also reduced me to tears twice.
OK, fair enough. I don't reckon episcopalianism is so bad today, since the flock are now in demand. It's more its political uses throughout history that fuel my knee-jerk reactions.

1. A decision taken allowing a certain minister to retain his position despite his inclinations (guess who)
2. They reintroduced pagan festivals (OK this was a while ago but still)
3. There is a stained-glass window with Jesus on it and now they put crosses everywhere in the church
4. Nobody knows anything about doctrines, I don't really ask them but I can tell, the only people I know who take religion seriously go to congregational churches
5. They are doing ecumenical work with the Catholic Church, which is having bad influences on our own church, but saying this would not doubt make me bigoted
6. Fuelled by their ecumenical frenzies, they united with the episcopalian church in denying to provide a serive to an Orange walk because they want to disassociate themselves with sectarianism... religion should not matter to people apparently
7. my minister only talks about the nice stuff in christianity, how Jesus united people, brings them in, never judges, basically all the nonsense stereotypes... people serve God because they think he will serve them, this is not how it should be, they should be convicted of their sins
8. more stuff I am too tired to remember...
