Thank you, sitetest.

May I also mention --

The sisters of the Community of Saint Mary, an Anglican order of nuns, make rosaries which they send to the Anglican missions in Africa. In this task they are aided by parishioners of local Episcopal parishes, including their priests (male and female, BTW) who pray the rosary togther and celebrate Holy Eucharist at their frequent gatherings.

The Society of Mary is an old Anglican "sodality" which prays and promotes the use of the rosary. And as I said in another posting above, lots and lots of us would never leave the house without our rosaries in our pockets.

Instead of backing away from each other, let's try to find in our Blessed Mother a rich source of common ground.

This is not the "Rotten Fruit" of a "False Ecumenism." It is certainly the real fruit of true charity.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace....... pray for us sinners -- ALL of us sinners.

Dear TheRevEN,

You're welcome.

I have a question for you.

Let's say that the hierarchy of the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church were able to come to agreement clearing away all obstacles to re-establishment of communion (and that's quite an assumption!). I find it difficult to believe that most of the faithful of the Anglican Communion would follow.

You're a self-professed Anglo-Catholic. For you, it would be all well and good, especially if Rome were to recognize, say, an autonomous Anglican Catholic Rite. But what about faithful evangelical Anglicans? Would they follow?

I'm interested in your thoughts.


Thanks,
