As one who who was raised in a non-spirit-filled Episcopalian church, I'll take a Spirit filled church ANY DAY (even with its problems), over a dead Protestant church.
The differences between "us" and "them" are HUGE. The differences are not minor, as you seem to be trying to make it sound.

We do need to step back, in some places, and take our time to allow God to do the work and not we forcing the Spirit to work.
Fortunately, I am in a church that is patient to allow the Spirit to direct us!  |
Thanks, Pressing On!
I agree that there is huge difference between "spirit filled" churches and Episcopalian church services. Where I don't see much difference is on Monday at work! I happen to work with a guy who's family attends an Episcopal church in Nashville. I must admit that his family lives by the every day Christian principals of integrity and godly attitude as much as my family does. His family takes the birth and death of Christ very seriously.
His heritage tells him that he is doing the right thing, just as my Apostolic heritage tells me that I am doing the right thing! Of course, I think my way is the right way and his family is just caught up in religious tradition!
