Those may well be the unexaggerated facts; I have no reason – and not enough knowledge – to doubt you, so I believe you. What I also know, however, is that those huffery-puffery forum-score’em posts I referred to on this thread are not borne out by the programme of events pointed at by the OP. I’m only an Anglican by nationality 😉 but I sense a lot of posters here are like greyhounds in the slips waiting for a juicy opportunity to get outraged by the Episcopal Church. Don’t you?

I’m moderately restrained.

steido01 is correct.

Fair enough, fair enough. 😛

You may be right. The morsel given by the OP mightn’t be juicy enough, on its own, to warrant the salivating that’s gone on here - but I can’t entirely blame the hounds if the fox repeatedly trots across the lawn. Perception typically has at least some basis in the patterns of reality.

Thank you for your generosity. And … fair enough.

I am shocked but not surprised-somewhere there must be a happy medium-our Congregation is presently searching for a Rector-so we had a “fill in Priest” yesterday-

he is a Very right Reverend -sort of like a Catholic Monsignor-he conducted a very Anglo Catholic Service (fairly strict Rite 1) -the comments were furious-“well at least he left out the incense” sort of summed it up-

In the Episcopal Church most of the Congregations are middle of the road-wanting to keep our traditions but also desiring modernity -banging tambourines and rock music are not my cup of tea nor is the stiff non joyous service given yesterday-

Eastern religions do not belong in a Christian Church-

somebody in the Episcopal Church needs to says the words STOP & NO

Our Presiding Bishop is not about to do so

You are always welcome to come home! 🙂

And to get enraged by non far-right politics. Catholics and Evangelicals seem to me to be odd bed fellows, but they are united by far right politics. Only in the USA. 😦

Yes, the Stations are inspiring.
I have been there several times, each time we visit relatives in Milwaukee. Love it.
If you could suggest a Lutheran shrine-type place (Lutherans have shrines maybe?), preferably in the Eastern US or Canada, I would try to visit.
Or an Episcopal shrine. I’m pretty sure they have them.

A must see church in Milwaukee is the basilica of St. Josaphat on the south side of the city. One of the most beautiful churches anywhere.
 
My Anglican grandmother ( Church of Canada) always took me to St. Joseph’s Oratory (Brothr Andre) in Montreal when we would visit-she apparently met him and he once came to their house in Montreal-I highly recommend it

It was not till I was an adult that I realized it was a Catholic shrine-then that was the day when the Anglicans and Catholics in Canada had very cordial elations-before the Bishop Schorri regimen

I want to thank the person who invited me " to come home" -I love the Episcopal Church I just hate some of the things that are happening-the Anglican Church in North America has little if any traction in this part of Florida-every Episcopalean that converts to Rome makes the Catholic church more conservative and every Catholic that joins the Episcopal Church makes ECUSA more liberal

I visited the Oratory last Summer for the first time, loved it.
I agree that every Catholic who switches to Episcopal makes that church more liberal, etc. However, the Ordinariate will add something new to the Catholic Church; can’t say more liberal or conservative, just more interesting.

👍

Just think about it. Might be the Holy Spirit calling you home. 🙂

And maybe look into the Anglican Ordinariate the Vatican set up to bring Anglicans into the Church. 👍

God Bless!

Emphasis added.

Even Cardinal Kasper said “We are not fishing in the Anglican pond.”

From spiritual health, to physical, to …??? Directionally, seems to be in reverse order. I thought the Bible ask us to focus on heavenly stuff and those not those of earth. I forgot which verse but I thought there was something like that.
