Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

[LauraleeBraswell]

The Episcopalian Church was founded because Henry the 8th a gluttonous monarch who bankrupted the England wanted to divorce his wife, and then he beheaded his next 5 wives.


The head of the Episcopalian church will be Prince Charles if his mother gives her title to him.

"Why I am an Episcopalian and Why that Frightens Me"

A title like that reminds me why I love Anglicans. :^D

"While I have spent my whole life in God’s Church, I have not spent my whole life as an Episcopalian, having made this choice seventeen years ago."

What the @#$&*! for? They have been committed to abortion on demand since 1975.

[PetroniusMaximus]

***made this choice seventeen years ago***

Let's see, 17 years ago was 1988. the Episcopal Church was solidly liberal.


***I became an Episcopalian, then, for three reasons:
1) I wanted a church that was committed to the historic Christian faith.
2) I wanted a church with Eucharist at the center.
3) I wanted a church that had a liturgical standard, The Book Of Common Prayer, with a clear biblical basis... and roots in the practices of the early Christian Church.****


Hmmm, sounds like the Episcopal Church..... YEA RIGHT!


***I am now so deeply distraught over the many changes that have begun to reshape the Episcopal Church***

Wake up time!!! These "changes" were well under way in the 70's!

Sounds like this guy didn't do his research and is suffering from buyer's remorse.

(Do lemon laws apply to churches?)

Really, he should have known what he was getting into.

This was a very good and moving read.

The classic theological rootedness which drew me to the Episcopal Church has all but been replaced at the national level by a trendy American theology rooted in cultural experience rather than historic faith. The commitment to Eucharist and the liturgical standard of the Prayer Book seem farcical as many parishes clearly disregard the liturgy altogether, and have so learned to read the creeds and Eucharistic rites from a metaphorical perspective that they have no real meaning. As a result I find myself in ongoing turmoil.

Excepting that I'm nowhere near the caliber of this individual, he speaks for this Roman Catholic who is also frightened.

[Tribune7]

I wish him luck.

I need to get new Episc. joke material.

All I have is the "Why's it so hard to play chess with an Episcopalian..?"
