Ah, Trinity . . . home of the most famous Clown "Eucharist" that constantly gets passed off as Catholic. I was expecting this video to contain Thunder & Blazes or Send in the Clowns, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Too bad it was just a concert and not a liturgy.
If one wanted to criticize their liturgies, one would need look no further than their website . . .
But, before poking fun at the Episcopalians, why not take a look at our own liturgies?
@Brent S,
As a recent convert from Anglo-catholic Episcopalianism, I can assure you that all of the Catholic liturgies I have attended (all since about 1994), despite the insipid and banal hymnody in what I have learned here to refer to as "four hymn sandwiches" were at least as reverent as any of the Episcopal liturgies I experienced in the past decade and more. And I wasn't even in parishes that directly exposed me to the liturgical abuses and theological heresies that have become rampant within that ecclesial community.
