You don’t have to be a former Episcopalian (or a recovering Roman Catholic) to enjoy Julia Jonas’s hilarious, smart new “Your Own Personal Exegesis” currently playing at Lincoln Center Theater.
Aug, there are not too many former Episcopalians. Once an Episcopalian, always an Episcopalian. For one thing, we not only have gay marriage (and had union ceremonies for many years before gay marriage was legal), we have gay married clergy. We not only have female priests, we have female bishops. We don't believe in hell. We do believe in doing what Jesus told us to, so there's a soup kitchen at the Church of the Holy Apostles that serves 1,000 meals a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, to anyone wbo lines up, no questions asked. We don't believe in capital punishment, but we do believe the decision to have an abortion should be between a woman and her doctor. It's hard to think of a reason to leave the Episcopal church.
