Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams. You know I don't get this. It just boggles my mind. I don't think the majority of Espicoplians I know are for this at all.
This title is what attracted many of the new breed of Episcopagans to the clergy.
That'll pack 'em in.
Is Episcopalianism still a religion????
Just one more step in the dumbing down of sacraments and their vitiation of meaning. "Inclusiveness" at the expense of actual faith is the only true sacrament to these people.
An interesting question: is it better to be unbaptized and remain "ignorant" or to be baptized and then turn apostate?
(Of course, we all know the answer to this one...)
They need to keep the lights off at the Episcopal Church.
"We don't ask if you believe what we believe. We ask if you will break bread with us before the Lord."
I was just in attendance at some baptisms last night. I distinctly recall a whole list of "do you believes" as we recited and affirmed, verse by verse, the Apostles' Creed. What sort of baptismal vows are they using at this churh, anyway?
This whole thing is absurd. I can just hear this conversation:
"Oh, look, John. They're having baptisms down at the Episcopal Church. We didn't have any plans for tonight. What do you say we go get baptised?"
"Hey, Marcia, I'm down with that. You never know, there might be something to all this God stuff and a person sure can't be too careful these days. I'll go start the car."
