What Episcopalians Believe…
07/08/05
Episcopalians strongly believe in "Scripture, Reason and Tradition." While they aren't sure what they believe about these three things, there is almost universal agreement that that's hardly the point.
Episcopalians occasionally believe in miracles and sometimes even expect them, particularly during stewardship canvasses and on the assignment of vicars.
Episcopalians believe that everything in their life and faith is improved by the presence of good food and drink: This does not include lime-carrot Jell-O, tropical punch Kool-Aid nor any casserole containing canned tuna fish.
Episcopalians believe that anything worth doing is especially worth doing if it has an obscure title attached to it (sexton, thurifer, suffragan, canon, dean, etc.). Likewise, Episcopalians believe that any place worth visiting is greatly enhanced by a name that only obliquely describes it (nave, narthex, sacristy, undercroft, bride's room, etc.)
Episcopalians firmly believe that coffee hour is the third sacrament; if the coffee is caffeinated.
Episcopalians believe Rite I is the best expression of the liturgy. Some believe Rite II is better. Most Episcopalians haven't noticed the difference; they just hope the whole thing gets over with before noon.
Episcopalians believe that they are the only people God trusts enough to take summer off from Church. -- Originally by Ed Gasparini.
