going through the door

a few weeks ago ewa and i went to a hindu/christian wedding and we ended up spending quite a bit of time at the reception talking to father john, the episcopalian minister who delivered the christian part of the ceremony. our conversation centered on the much more liberal and socially aware beliefs of the episcopalian church versus the very conservative and socially myopic views of the catholic church. at one point, ewa asked what it took to become episcopalian (beacause becoming a catholic is a long process of classes, retreats, baptism, confirmation, etc.), father john answered, 'just walk in the door.' after seeing this article, that door is looking good.
