  About the comment on the homophobicness. Yes there are some in the church but things have changed drasticly since that happened. I should know I grew up in the church. Not all of us are homophobic. We had a funeral for one of the victims for goodness sake. I used to want to leave our church really badly. But now that I am going to youth group and seeing how certain things are changing. I am willing to stay and even suggest it to people. I hope you take this review into consideration and come visit our church. Thank you :)

  My background: I'm black, and was raised Episcopalian. I tried other denominations as an adult, but really loved the tradition, structure and attitude of the Episcopal church, so I stayed in this denomination. I'm also a moderate liberal.
  
  Friendliness = 5/5. 1) My first visit was on June 12, 2016 for the 10:15am service. I was late and accidentally entered the bookstore instead of the sanctuary. The bookstore volunteer immediately offered to walk me to where service was being held. 2) People walked around greeting each other instead of just staying in their seats during The Peace. 3) The ushers ensured that approaching the alter for Communion was a breeze. The elderly/disabled received Communion in the pews. 4) A church leader approached me after service and asked if they could pay for my lunch (they were having a church fundraiser....proceeds would fund their upcoming mission trip). 5) I attended the free 12pm church tour. My tour guide, Tyler, was very knowledgeable and took me behind the scenes. 6) A churchgoer saw me walking outside after service and stopped in their car to see if I needed a ride home. I was only exploring the area and had my own car, but I appreciated her concern.
  
  Music = 4/5. I love their traditional hymns and organs! I hope they sing other kinds of hymns too. I also appreciated the singsong rendition of some parts of service (like the Lord's Prayer).
  
  Sermon = 4/5. The sermon on June 12 was powerful (that Jesus died for us knowing that we're sinners, and that we should reach out and take steps to find grace within ourselves and others). Specific Bible verses were used as well.
  
  Pews = 4/5. They were wooden, but very comfortable. I also really appreciated that Bibles were in the pews (instead of just the Book of Common Prayer and Hymnal). Not all churches have Bibles in their pews. I do hope though that they add the African American Hymnal to the pews.
  
  Parking/location = 5/5. 1) An usher immediately gave me a rebate pass to use for the Regions parking lot when I entered the church, without my asking. Either a lucky guess to where I parked, or most people park in that lot. 2) For a downtown church, it was actually very peaceful and not cramped at all.
  
  LGBTQ support = 5/5. My first time at this church was the same day as the Pulse nightclub shooting. They not only prayed for those injured and the 50 people who died in the incident (including the shooter) during the Prayers of the People, they also asked people to donate blood and food to those affected. The church also announced that Deacon Nancy Oliver was absent because she was at the Orlando Regional Medical Center and the Hampton Inn counseling those affected by the shooting. They posted their stance against violence and their support for the LGBTQ community on their Facebook and website since the shooting. They're also holding a funeral for one of the victims, and leading a processional to the citywide vigil at Lake Eola.
  
  Diversity = 4/5. The area's population is mostly Caucasian, but there were also black and Hispanic people in the congregation. There might've been other ethnicities as well. I also saw people of all ages.
  
  That's my spiel. I hope you do your research and consider attending this church!

  This has become my sanctuary. I've never felt such a strong presence of God in a church. Often I feel the focus is on money and not God. I feel nothing but love and acceptance. God bless

  Gorgeous old architecture with a very warm and loving congregation. Music and preaching are wonderful!
