ER2 helps as well (not a drama queen as noted above..THE QUEEN!)...It is about power that has been seen as being part of being Episcopalian. The symbols, Bishops, Miters, priests, nuns, we are seen in a more mysterious way that Lutherans (my grandparents were high Lutheran, but not that high.....now if TEC and ELCA merged those of us on the catholic side would be pleased as this would bring the full catholic faith to Lutheranism (again) as demonstrated in Porvoo Churches.....and we would gain so much as well...we should use our "power" to convert, transform and help people find faith....good days ahead?
