Many decades ago I attended Episcopal convent school & saw no shortage of true faith in the students or, obviously, the nuns. The denomination isn’t as popular now as the conservative churches but that says much more about society than about Episcopal faith. Tbh a lot of Americans are authoritarian.

This too will pass
