charismatic episcopalians

So, one of the church growth methods taught was "Signs and Wonders" AKA the Christian Psychic Network. The experience was about as unpleasant as my life in the charismatic movement. And to make things worse the guy was about 10 years behind what is happening in those churches today.
The 'priest' spent a lot of time talking about kids being transformed by the Holy Spirit. I raised my kid in that crap until she was 12...She is 17. She doesn't want any part of it, neither do her friends who were raised in it. They are looking for contemplative worship and actually doing things for people without shoving the '4 spiritual laws' down their throats. Being Christ to those they meet and finding Christ in everyone.....What a concept.

long time no post

This weekend I went to an Evangelism Conference hosted by an Episcopal Church. OMG I thought I was back in the charismatic church. So the music was 'cringeworthy' smarmy praise stuff. The worst being The Sanctus done to the tune of the theme song of the movie MASH. For those of you who don't remember the original words it went something like this.
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The Sword of time will peirce our skins
it doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grin but
suicide is painless..........

Anyone else have a problem with this?
