Thanks for the info - I'm in Canada

Pickings are slim up there for Christians. The Catholics must be doing something right, given recent attacks on them. The PCA has planted a few churches (and recently approved the formation of a Presbytery of Western Canada). The Anglicans, for the most part are a lost cause, as are those that joined the United Church. The Southern Baptists are trying to plant 1000 new churches in Canada by 2020.

I used to joke that I was a closet Pentecostal/Charismatic.

Apparently I was right.

Not any more. You're out of the closet now... *\;-)

Only one surprise here. I thought the Roman quotient would be a bit higher. Probably got me on the question of church government. As a barely hanging in there Anglican (a thinner thread all the time) I am understandably a bit skeptical of the bishopric these days.

Guess it's a good thing I crossed the Tiber when I did.

You've got that right - though maybe no slimmer than in many parts of the U.S. .....
