That's the one I was thinking of. Do you know where to get it?
Another cafepress.com special.
My parish is an Anglican Use. It uses the "Book of Divine Worship" which is basically the BCP reworked with the Roman Canon. If only more of the high church, rosary praying, Anglo-Catholic churches would "cross over", together as an Anglican Use parish, many problems would be on the way to being solved. Individual churches would not have to wait for a large organization to join, the parish would still continue Anglo-Catholic practices (communion kneeling at the altar rail, bells and smells, etc.), and devout Christians would not feel so overwhelmed and discouraged. I wish my old Anglo-catholic parish would "cross over." Many people said that it was "more Catholic than the Catholic church" (Mass celebrated "ad orientum," beautiful liturgy and building, fabulous choir and music, etc. etc.).
I agree that Episcopal apostacy may be a step toward Christian unity. It got me out of my comfortable Anglo-Catholic mindset (i.e., we're just another branch of the one, true church) to realizing that if the Holy Father is crucial for the orthodoxy of Christian belief, then Christ's words about building the church on Peter are as true today as they were then. It was a real "duh" moment for me! Thanks for the welcome, Im4L&L. The only thing my staunch Presbyterian mother said when I told her was, "What took you so long?" haha!!
They're so funny! But where would one wear it? General Convention?
But I don't. (I try my best not to look at car wrecks too.)
I hear you. It's not worth the money, time, or energy.
