Love your list!! Good luck with those. :-)
Quite a list! I noticed that converting to the Episcopal Church was the one item on your list that was followed by a question mark, which perhaps means that you're not convinced that it really belongs on your list. So I'll put in a plug for Episcopalianism. The national church has fabulous politics and policies, although things do vary at the local level. The wallpaper on my computer is the "holy huddle," an overhead photograph of the Anglican bishops gathered in a circle to consecrate the oh-so-dreamy +Gene Robinson as the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion; this photograph is my daily reminder to be optimistic about the possibilities of progress. Also, check out Anglicans Online, which calls itself "The online centre of the Anglican/Episcopal world" and is updated every Sunday.
And if the question mark on your list meant something altogether different, please pardon my Episcopalian enthusiasm! :-)
