I am reaching out humbly to gain the wisdom of those who have forgotten more than I know.
Thus far, in life, I have been an Anglican/Episcopalian only (baptized, married, Son christened, confirmed by Bishop Jefferts-Schori, personally). My parents were from England, so there is also a familial draw to the Anglican church.
In my area of the country (Nevada), there is a far greater Lutheran presence here than there is an Episcopal presence. (In fact, we'd already decided that, barring events unknown yet to happen, we'd like our Son to attend Sierra Lutheran, here in town.)
But where I must plead absolute ignorance is as to the two churches: Lutheran and Episcopal. For my age (mid 40s) I seem to be a weirdo even in my own church, as I much prefer a rote, "Rite 1" service from "The Book of Common Prayer" than I do the 10-11 a.m., bongo-and-guitar-playing service.
Any information will help me to decide where I ought to be. Thank You!
