I am an Episcopalian because The Episcopal Church is not afraid
to explore what Baptism really means. When one is sealed as Christ’s Own
Forever, there are no asterisks. Women, men, gay, straight, trans, black,
white, Asian, Native American, Hispanic, mixed race – all are acknowledged as
part of the Body. Figuring out what this means in the context of scripture is
hard work. At its best, The Episcopal Church calls on everyone – bishops,
priests, deacons, lay people -- to work in partnership to figure it out. We don’t always get the balance right, but
what I love is that we keep trying, struggling to love one another even when we may not like one another.
