If only it were true.
I'm not an Episcopalian (I'm a member of the UMC), but I think it's a cool shirt. Wear it with pride.
Here is an opportunity you may be interested in.LC† Wise Ones and Wisdom Seekers
Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays
July 22nd - August 29th
Who is Wisdom?
Throughout the biblical story, this dynamic figure seems to be both human and divine. She is a person we might meet and know, and the symbolic metaphor of all we yearn for. Wisdom embodies all that is good in the essence of how God made us, and she is also elusive, far wiser than we could ever be. In the Wisdom of Solomon, Wisdom becomes identified with Jesus and in other contexts she is associated with Creation.
Join us Fridays through Mondays every weekend from July 22 to August 29, as we delve into the identity and meaning of biblical Wisdom. Along the way we will also explore the wisdom figures of other cultures and traditions. This summer, let's search together for the wisdom that feeds our souls and stirs our hearts into mission. May the wisdom of the Holy Spirit guide us as we go.
(For those who are new to Lutherans Connect devotions, you can find them posted to the Lutherans Connect Facebook page and on Twitter starting July 22nd. Or, write to lutheransconnect@gmail.com and ask to be put on the email list.)

How do we participate? I don’t see any way to connect, even in the Lutherans Connect page.
