A sensitive matter.
First off I would like to say that I am an established member of this forum. If you PM me asking I will tell you who I am. However considering the nature of this post, I don't want to post under my usual name. I will also delete this post if requested.
The question I am asking is this. I am a baptized Roman Catholic, but have been having issues with some of the doctrine of the Church for a while. From what I have seen, I have a feeling that I would like the Episcopal Church. Would it be possible for any members of the Episcopal Church to PM me any reliable websites where I can read up on some of the doctrines and beliefs?

Why create a sock puppet to ask about another church?
That seems silly to me.

Like with the Roman Catholic Church there is some uniformity of services across geographic territories, however there are many types of Episcopal congregations. There are some that are more ritualistic than most Roman and many Orthodox churches (these are called Anglo-Catholic congregations) there are some that are little more than Methodist who take communion every Sunday, and there is the wide range between them. Some congregations are more high church, some low church, some very conservative, some very liberal. In addition to looking into the Episcopal Church as a whole I would recommend visiting different congregations until you decide whether or not you wish to join. As a Catholic you will be welcome to partake in communion and most congregations are very welcoming. You will find most congregations very similar to the Roman Church as far a liturgy goes, although doctrinally there are some big differences. If you do decide to join the Episcopal Church you will eventually have to be confirmed, as a catholic you will have no trouble with that at all. If you have any questions about the Episcopal Church as a whole do not hesitate to PM me. Good luck on your spiritual journey.

It sounds like "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" (by Judy Blume) would be a suitable book for the OP to read. It may be a little "young" but it definitely is all about self-discovery vis a vis faith, etc.

If this was an attempt at Stealth Spam, and KappaSig Pirate is your wingman, this is the weirdest thread I've ever seen. Actually, scratch that first part. THIS IS THE WEIRDEST THREAD I'VE EVER SEEN.

There are quite a few Episcopal congregations that have broken away from the greater Episcopalian/Anglican church over the gay minister question. Be sure you're getting what you think you're getting.

Yep! The former Episcopal church that is down the street from my house broke away and became the Anglican church over this issue. And, lost a lot of members.

The Catholic churches here are dropping members left and right due to the sex-priest scandals (a few priests here are accused).
The Baptist, Christian, and Vineyard churches are popping up everywhere.
