 "Episcopalians are known as people who place a high value on reason and thoughtful debate about theological issues and social policy. We fill the middle ground between Catholic and Protestant traditions as a sacramental church that stresses individual responsibilities and decision-making. Worship services range from contemporary to traditional, with one just right for you. We hope this site answers your most pressing questions, but if not, please contact us for more information. We're looking forward to meeting you."

7) You don't have to check your brains at the door
6) Pew aerobics
5) Church year is color-coded
4) Free wine on Sundays
3) All of the pagentry, none of the guilt
2) You don't have to swim to get baptized
And the #1 reason is...
No matter what you believe, there's bound to be at least one other Episcopalian who agrees with you.
-- Attributed to Robin Williams, a card-carrying Episcopalian. No, he didn't invent the phrase "We're like Catholic-lite: 1/3 less guilt," but he's said it many times.
