OP, while an Anglo-Saxon of the period in question for this article would recognize a Latin, Greek and Celtic Rite Christian they would be baffled by your type of Christianity which is a later innovation. Gain legitimacy for your rite in other ways then to attempt to fit your square peg in the round hole of history.

My challenge to you is this: If the faith you now claim is the same faith of the Anglo-Saxon or Celtic church of old then I suggest you lose the modern trappings and innovations of the Presbyterians and return to the source and embrace all that they embraced.

PS: Make a new thread for the pop quiz material.
