"Here at St. Anna's Episcopal Church, we believe that Jesus died to take away our sins, not our minds."
~ Fr Bill Terry
I know it's very difficult for an ex-Catholic to join a different Christian denomination (i.e., Protestant), especially anyone of Irish descent, but the Anglican Communion is worth consideration by anyone thinking about resuming church attendance after a few decades' absense.
The liturgy is very familar, but the hardass attitude is completely absent, and a progressive political viewpoint is not only accepted, but regarded as the intelligent norm. "All the ritual, none of the guilt."
