I love Greek church festivals in the summer, including the food and
the church tour, but I keep quiet on the tour and when visiting any
book-sale booth at such festivals. I once said I was visiting from an
Episcopal parish, thinking they'd like the liturgical-church
connection, but it simply gave the priest there a cue to start working
on me about why I don't just go all the way and become Orthodox
(similar to traditional Roman Catholics who wonder why we wouldn't
"just come home" to the "Catholic Church").
