My experience in the local Episcopal Diocese where I live has also not been the same. One local church even has a Kirkin O'the Tartan service complete with Highland Cathedral played by The Citadel Pipe Band.
I understand you wouldn't wish to argue with the gentleman. I'll bet that Kirkin' is a sound to behold though. You'll have to grab some pictures next time.
