Fuckin word! I claim the Church of England, American branch, when asked cuz I was brung up that way. I was even an acolyte and no touching that I can remember occurred. We even let the kids get some wine, that shit was awesome when I was 10. Plus us Episcopalians have a schedule, if you are in church at 10, you are out at 11.15 unless it is Easter or something. No long drawn out services. Maybe the Baptists are fat cuz they have to gas up on calories to make it through a 3 hour service every week. The east coast NFL jeebus loves the Episcopal church, all it's followers are at sports bars or at home by 1pm kickoff.

We Episcopers had donuts and coffee after the late service, but it would just be poor form to eat more than 1. Even as a kid, I knew the Others were watching me and passing silent judgement. You eat 2 donuts and next week the priest gave you half of a broken wafer at communion, just to send a message.
