The rise and fall of the Episcopal Church arose from our direct membership, the downfall of the ministry, the lies and false practices and the unbelievable actions of those in power and the priest. If anyone asked me today what one word I would use to describe the Episcopal Church, I would say "RUN" ..in any direction, just get away. I have never in my life experience such boldfaced liars, corruption not only of the Vestry but of the ministry . As our poor experience grew, I began to find more and more negative things about the church that few knew and fewer would acknowledge. I have gathered the facts as best possible and present them here as the foundation as to why we left the church.
