How does the Episcopal tradition address the issue of happiness?

In terms of my particular tradition in the Episcopal church, the fact that we build those connections not just through community but through history by trying to connect ourselves to ancient liturgy and traditions so that, that you are connected through time and connected to a wonderful tradition of people who really grapple with the use of their mind and use of reason, it is one of the corner stones of the Anglican tradition in terms of approaching faith and scripture. So, that what you think and what you experience and feel and in addition to what you read goes to informing your relationship with god and with everyone else. So I think that notion of being in a community over a period of time really adds a lot to our lives as we struggle with our true happiness.
