I was glad to see that the Churchshoppers finally found a parish to their liking: "fairly small," "fairly high," with the only rite they seem to have experienced, and with all the amenities. They were lucky. Most Episcopalians do not live close by four churches from which to choose.

This family's preferences indicate that upon leaving the Roman Communion and the Baptists and becoming Anglican, their orientation upon reception did not prepare them for the varieties found in the Real Church. Rather, the priest who prepared them seems to have taught them his proclivities, which coincide with the author's. But instruction in the faith should prepare people to go anywhere in the church and be happy, enjoying its varieties. Wanting to see the priest's face, to interrupt his conversation with the parents, finding a server "cute," and all the rest of the child-oriented thinking, indicate that the child mind should be the determinant factor.

The Churchshoppers comprise four distinct personalities, so why cannot parishes vary? It is Anglican variety that prevents dead uniformity.
