    Just so happened that we got down with some Episcopalians tonight. My first time attending one of theirs.

    Because Benedict changed up our liturgy but the Episcopalians have kept it O.G., I'm still more familiar with their language choices than our new ones.

    Bruton Church was built in 1677, but I believe the current building was erected in 1711. It's a national landmark.

    There are booths still "owned" by the descendants of the folks who worshipped there.

    They put on a pretty darn good service.

      I’d say 300 years works for gravitas.

          Should have led with that. 😆

            Used to be that Episcapalopians were "Catholic lite."

            Now it's the other way around.

            Neat story, and a wonderful building though.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              That looks serene. The mass we went to yesterday was standing room only. Standing outside the church, watching on a projection screen.

              Education is extremely important.

                That's the word I was looking for.

                    Lots of Catholics in Texas.
