That's very good news indeed. That means your sister's church has taken proactive steps and placed itself under the protection of one of the African bishops -- probably Archbishop Akinola of Nigeria. He is a "low church" man from the evangelical wing, but a good and faithful prelate.

We were "high church" - as my dad says, up in the rafters with the bats - so we swam the Tiber and are now Catholics.

It's amazing to me how little difference there is in theology between an Ultramontane Piskie and a Catholic. When we sat down with our current rector (who is everybody's idea of a Faithful Irish Priest with No Nonsense About Him), the only points of difference were the validity of Anglican Orders and the supremacy of the Pope. As my husband told Monsignor, "we can deal."

My 18 year old daughter still marvels occasionally at how little has changed.

That is good to know, they seemed happy with the change. God Bless! Glad we got this all straightened out. Freepers are a feisty lot.
