From the home office at 815 2nd Avenue, NYC:
10) No Snake Handling
9) You can believe in dinosaurs
8) Male and female, God created them; male and female, we ordain them
7) You don't have to check your brains at the door
6) Pew aerobics
5) Church year is color-coded
4) Free wine on Sundays
3) All of the pageantry--none of the guilt
2) You don't have to know how to swim to get baptized
And the #1 reason is...
1) No matter what you believe, there's bound to be at least one other Episcopalian who agrees with you.
Attributed to Robin Williams, a card-carrying Episcopalian. No, he didn't invent the phrase "we're like Catholic lite--1/3 less guilt," but he's said it many times.

Well done.
I found your link through Megan. It seems she collects clergyfolk.
Don't know if you've been to the site of Louie Crew but he's up to about 400+ reasons to be Episcopalian. His site is: http://newark.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/365plus.html
Have scanned your blog & enjoy what you've written. Found you thru rlp who I was introduced to by our Parish Priest. Congrats on your Ordination, our Parish just had one in early December and they're always great.
Keep up the good work.
