I missed the celebration of the Feast of William Laud yesterday. To do penance, I will reverence the altar and bow at the Holy Name every chance I get and will direct you to Affirming Laudianism.

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.

Humor: The Anglican Blue (by Huber)

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

Affirming Laudianism, much like another organisation in the Anglican Church, does not expect its members to have any firm beliefs or doctrinal commitments but is solely concerned with:

1. The externals of religion
and
2. Including the ambitious.


Doesn't matter what you believe as long as it "looks pretty".
Sounds like simiolar to Affirming Catholicism.

[sionnsar]

It's a bit of a jest, if you read the piece on Laud himself. "Affirming" he was not.

Yeah, I looked around the site some more after I posted and decided it was a satire. Too bad that the way the world and the church have declined that even something said in jest can be taken for reality without batting an eye.

I know Laud wasn't affirming, he was a True Believer.
