I guess its my Eastern European blood

[JohnKleeb]

but I identify with the Eastern Orthodox Christians more htan I do the Protestants, theres so few of them around here in Virginia but I like the Eastern church too, i also and I know this is weird but I almost identify with Jewish people more aasily than I do Protestants even though we're of different religions. Just my daily rant, btw thanks for posting the prayer of saint francis, I love it, its one of my personal fave prayers.

3. As an Episcopalian...

...(and, again many thanks for accepting me here), I identify much more closely with my Catholic and Orthodox friends that I do the Protestants we Anglicans are generally lumped in with.

In my case, our shared love of the Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament trumps any ecclesiastical or doctrinal differences.
