I’ve just learned that there’s a dating app for Episcopalians, and I wanna know if there’s a section to list your kinks, or is that just kind of generally implied?

As a widowed Episcopalian in Texas who is navigating apps that did not EXIST when I dated before, I’ll try it. All my profiles say “Christian but not the mean kind” and some of those mean girls are still swiping right
*eyeing a queer couple* So…which one of you is “the body of Christ which is given for you preserve your body and soul unto everlasting life” and which one of you is “Take and eat this in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving”?
Have I told you how learning the history of the words of administration I had heard my whole life was a watershed moment for my faith & understanding of my tradition?
Literally “here are two fundamentally conflicting theologies of the Eucharist! We’re just gonna say em both. Figure it out.”
But also I grew up with a priest (my father!) saying these words spread out over four people…so that the words of administration are never just for one communicant but are shared by the congregation.
For some reason my brain is giving me Boromir: "Episcopalians have no kinks. Episcopalians need no kinks." However I know that is 100% wrong (and for that matter so was Boromir)
I met my (now ex) husband in the Social Justice Committee of the church I was attending in grad school. We joked we were part of the Cradle Episcopalian Breeding Program. My current Sweetheart grew up Episcopal and just joined the parish I attend. Clearly I'm onto something 😂
Have you ever witnessed the jockeying that goes on when fresh meat arrives at the retirement community? Well, I have. That’s what I imagine this app would be like.
I met my late wife at Trinity College Divinity, fell in love, came out, started a family and besieged the Anglican Church of Canada with devoted queerness for 38 years. There wasn’t an app for that in 1984, only grace. I’m not sure the software is that good even now. 😉
See, I just put in all caps on my OKC profile "I AM ON THE VESTRY OF MY LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING CHURCH WHERE I ALSO SING IN THE CHOIR. PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU." And then found a nice, only mildly church-traumatized Catholic Enby.
We're going on ten years together, eight married, through a global pandemic, multiple family crises, and a whole gender transition, and we're still going strong. *cues up the LeeAnn Rimes*
I also posted full body pics as a fat then-femme-presenting person. Those two things did a lot of winnowing of assholes *for* me. Which, honestly? A blessing.

*this is a lie; this post is the most on-brand thought you’ve ever had.
Literally “here are two fundamentally conflicting theologies of the Eucharist! We’re just gonna say em both. Figure it out.”
A rich text!!!
Jesus & myself returned as women & marry each other soon.
Jesus is female in gender.
Elijah is male in gender.
Fake ministers know Malachi 3:8 is telling THEM to return the money; Matthew 19:12 says God prefers same-sex marriage.
STAY OUT of the fake churches if you want to live!
(Where @guynamedbrian.bsky.social (the last straight, single, cat-loving Episcopalian west of the Mississippi) and I met. We’ve been married 17 years)
On the minus side we're never gonna flirt to convert huh
