Some other things we Episcopalians don’t talk about:
1.
Henry
VIII -- he always was a bit of an
embarrassment, but it’s gotten worse since The
Tudors was on TV.
2.
The Trinity – I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a
sermon explaining the Trinity. On Trinity
Sunday, the priest will usually say something about how we can’t understand the
Trinity and maybe make a joke. “Now
let’s talk about something else.”
3.
The Church of England’s position on women
bishops. (Only if there are
non-Episcopalians present. Among
ourselves, we enjoy being indignant.)
4.
Mary – She’s easier to talk to (at least for
women), but she’s so “Rome-ish.” And what
do you call her -- Mary, the Blessed
Virgin Mother, Our Lady, Jesus’s mom, Mrs. God?
5.
Love – We’re told God showers it on us and that
we are supposed to accept it, give it back and shower it on others. But we’re not told how and we’re too scared or embarrassed to ask.
Is there anything you wish we’d talk about?
