Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners, ends partnership with US government

[sir pball]

63. I was baptized Episcopalian...in the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine.

Not even kidding, if you go pay the nominal fee (it's worth it) and go round back to the baptimsal font…that's where I got my head dipped. My mom's family lived just around the corner, 445 Riverside, so it was their home church!

I've long since lapsed but never formally renounced; I've never felt the need since The Church is about as on the right side as it gets, and I get to play the WASP card for kicks…not only were 11 Presidents, including Washington, Episcopalian, but when I was growing up in my small New England town we had to go to the GOOD Episcopalian church, not the declassé one across the street*, or worse yet the one actually in town that was just for the nouveaus. I mean, my family was literally one of Lovecraft's "gently bred" bloodlines of New England so we had to maintain appearances.

* - The one across the street was destroyed by a tornado, so there may have been a point there…
