Every community has a revolving door, even cults, although leaving these can be problematic. The ritualistic ceremonialism, and formalised liturgy of the Anglican tradition appeals to many. I know of Anglicans who loathe and despise all things Pentecostal, and on the flip side I have met...

Easy, the servants of Satan masquerade as servants of righteousness, promoting stuff and nonsense about Satan not being a fallen angel.
