Interesting discourse on the different pieties of various churches/denominations. The Good Citizenship Piety (nationalistic, good Christians are good Americans, bring back the good old days), the Saved Piety (focused on being Saved, uses guilt and fear as motivators), Positive Thinking Piety (Televangelist style), and the Sacramental Piety (Life is a gift from God, we are on a spiritual journey)

The opposite of faith is not doubt; it is fear. Have doubts. Ask questions. Read what you want. Ask what you want to know. They believe in Scripture, Tradition, and Reason in equal measures. Fundamentalism is idolatry - you are idolizing the Bible and making it equal to God. Holy spirit is more important than holy scripture. Science is just discovering God's world. Scripture has truth, but not the whole of truth.

Episcopalians reject the "I am saved" mentality. Salvation is a process, not a successful moment. Church is for hypocrites and sinners, not a club for elite "saved" people. It's not a hideout for the saved. Salvation requires growth, change, and maturation. It requires honesty toward yourself.

Interesting discourse on religion vs spirituality. 1) God is knowable. 2) Creation is good. 3) Embrace all of life.
Religion is about dogma. Spiritual life is about inquiry.
