53. It tends to rarely be true anymore

TEC are encouraged to be part of the community, and have been a leader in helping immigrants, refugees, LGBT+, the unhoused, teh environment, etc. Not every Episcopal Church is as active as ours, I'm sure, but we constantly ahve something going on that includes both the community outside teh church walls.

We are also part of a group that includes other local TEC, Lutheran ELCA, and Methodists that help one another with this.

I am in Sacramento.
