I like conservative Anglicanism (Anglican Church in North America) (ACNA) (NOT The Episcopal Church, TEC). It’s the culturally English Church from the Reformation, not the culturally German/Scandinavian Church, which is Lutheranism.

Also, LCMS Lutheranism, and WELS, severely condemn those who don’t hold to their specific doctrine on holy communion, whereas in Anglicanism, while the favored view is the Real Presence, those who cannot quite accept that are welcome at the communion rail, as long as they confess Christ and are baptised.

The original break within Protestantism was Luther’s intolerance of the Swiss Reformer Zwingli’s view of holy communion...and I find that intolerance, the lasting result of it....quite sad.

The LCMS does not condemn those who do not share our view of communion. We just ask those who do not believe in the Real Presence as we do to refrain from communing at our altar, as I do when visiting a church where I do not share their beliefs about communion. Otherwise they are welcome in our services.

What do you do with the words, “This is my body; this is my blood.”.?
