I very much agree. At that time I was still unchurched, having left Rome as a teenager. When I came back, we found an Anglo-Catholic parish (a huge one, btw) which used the 1977 BCP, both Rites I and II. I never felt totally comfortable with the service (and didn't really know why) though the Holy Spirit was truly with the congregation. Still, the difference when I found the 1928 BCP was stark and final and while I pray for ultimate reunion among the various traditional Anglican provinces, I am happy with the Province I am now in.

In Christ,

As was the difference when I rediscovered the 1928.

We really had no choice, because we are in a modernist, heterodox ECUSA diocese that is not only 110% behind the national church and Vicki Gene, but is actively persecuting the orthodox faithful. (The bishop went to Nottingham as part of the crowd trying to (a) horn in where not wanted and (b) excuse the inexcusable. That should tell you where his head is at. And he runs the diocese with an iron fist.) The breakaway churches here are small and overwhelmingly evangelical.

In contrast, our new Archdiocese and especially our new parish is not just a breath of fresh air - it's a whole planetary atmosphere . . . whew!
