What Episcopalians Are Like?
One of the coolest things about being Episcopalian is that there are all different kinds. Conservatives, liberals, funny people, serious people, blacks, whites, Hispanics, and Asians can all be Episcopalian. Some are old, and some are young. Some are straight, and some are gay. Some are really sure about their faith, and some find it to be a constant struggle. Chances are, there's at least one other Episcopalian out there just like you.
What ties us together is our belief in the love of God, especially as Jesus talked about it. Jesus taught us that God's biggest hope for us is that we would love God and love our neighbors (Matt. 22:37-40). Although we're not always great at it, that's what we're trying to do.
