I am Anglican going through RCIA right now. Yes, the view on sin is the same in both churches, and confession is equally important in both churches, however in the Episcopal church there was no “confessional” (at least in my parish).

Glad to know you have a devout faith. That is what is important right now. Don’t worry about telling this forum your personal problems, or anyone else in your parish you don’t feel comfortable discussing your personal problems with for that matter. It is good, however, that you are speaking with your vicar. I might add that our parish allows us to be placed on the prayer list without explanation. General prayers for well being are helpful too, I think.

I will be praying for you. I hate to see someone going through hard times.

Let’s give thanks to God that you are alive and that you do have communication with people that care about you!

He would ‘let’ me be on the prayer list because he knows fully whats happening. The biggest problem is that my parents who go, don’t know anything going on.(my choice, they are too close for comfort. They would be the harder ones to fend of as to why am I on the prayer list. It

bit embarrassing today, nearly set fire to myself. well not literally but being a server, I light all the little memorial votive candles we have out over Christmas period. I normally do one side and another server does the other side. I did the whole lot today and the other side a whole lot more breezier and was battling with the flame not realising burnt a very very tiny hole in my alb (now I have to see to that somehow, wonder how much they are) #b:blush: the candle wax didn’t worry me.

The organist was playing Ave Maria before service too which was good. The Vicar, Father Kevin, I will name, only been with us since end of July. He started to sing it quietly in Latin to me.(I was the one there) I was pleased that I knew he was singing what the organist was playing. I was listening to the organ anyway but just added to that soothing factor.Though I kind of ruined the moment as I wanted to prove I knew what he was singing though all helped to forget the embarrassment, too until just before 9 and a change of alb occurred which was far too big in reality but at least candlewax free and burnt hole free. Anyone got spare alb same kind:-}
