My wife and I have been church exiles (self-imposed) for several years. Recently we began attending St. Paul’s Episcopal church here in Bellingham. The Episcopal Church is a branch of the Anglican communion world-wide, having split off from Anglicanism as a result of the American revolution, but remaining very much Anglican in theology and practice.
I had never attended an Episcopal Church before, nor did I know much about Episcopalians. I did, however, come with some expectations. In particular, I expected to encounter a liturgical church service relatively devoid of life and energy, and something theologically liberal.
