I haven’t read every post in this thread so I may be repeating what has already been said. I know the Church of England has exorcists. I watched a TV documentary on it. I was surprised to learn they had them. I obviously cannot say whether other churches or provinces in the Anglican Communion has exorcists. I don’t think it’s an Anglo-Catholic thing. Quite a few of the exorcists in the documentary I watched were female. I was also surprised to find out how frequently exorcists are used.

To directly answer the OP’s question - I don’t know but I think this link may be the Church of England’s exorcism service.
 
Last time I ate a steak…1988:p. Not a meat guy. I drive people in here nuts. I’m liberal in some ways, highly conservative in others. You can’t put me in a box very well. I guess that’s why I fit the Anglican mold LOL…the platypus

I voted for six democrats, six republicans in the recent elections. Nobody can fence me in! Moderate right here 👍:cool:

It must have been too shocking for me to really take it in. You seem like a steak guy to me.

I guess so - though maybe you should reconsider the possibility of the EO - as a vegetarian you’d be a step ahead!

My wife thinks balut is disgusting! She never ate it and she grew up in the Philippines! I just think it’s a tad barbaric the way they eat over there. I’m a vegetarian anyway so…LOL:p

I do not think you got to taste the real food when you were there… by the way, let me make an educated guess…is your wife a nurse? If she is from Baguio…and she went to college there…she is either a graduate of St Louie Univ or UP Baguio?
 
Nope, wrong on both counts but close. She went to Baguio Colleges Foundation which is now University of Cordilleras. She majored in and got her BS in Computer Science.

However NOW she is in the RN nursing program here in town, in two years, God willing, she’ll be an RN. We joke that pinoys really can only be nurses or military! 😛

:cool: Hey Gurney…smucks…she does not like being in computers? I am always asked if I am in the medical field, when I say no, i am asked if my wife is one, and no too…🤷

I just read an news article this morning about a civil suit in Stockton regarding a schismatic Anglican group…a lawsuit being reverted back to court by the Court of appeals…i think it is regarding church property where an anglican group that is separating wants to have or so. I presume you are aware of this.
 
yep. my parish is being sued by TEC AND they are suing the actual vestry members individually for tens of thousands! They’re trying to bankrupt our church:mad:

That is sad, Gurney…seems like vindictiveness on the TEC part. What will happen now to your parish? From the article, it stated that the decision is a setback for the seceding parishes. I hope this is not true.
 
What’s crazy is that our bishop, +John David Schofield, gave the parishes all the opportunity to vote at a parish level if they wanted to go OUT of the TEC. Schofield said that he would hold no ill will, no ill wishes, and definitely NO lawsuits against them. He said he’d honor anyone’s wishes one way or the other. And he kept his promise. Seven parishes in the entire diocese wished to stay Episcopalian and they did. No reprisals or nasty comments from the diocese or Schofield. St. Paul’s, my parish, voted to leave TEC with Schofield. Our rector told the congregation that liberals were welcome to stay or go. The liberals left then regrouped with Jerry Lamb and sued. Just about every parish is being sued. TEC is spending millions across America to take property.

And what’s sad is “Bishop” Jerry Lamb, the TEC stooge, said openly in an article in the Modesto Bee months back that Katharine Jefforts Schiori told the bishops, “many of these parishes we’re suing are too big for us. We have too few liberals to staff and run the parishes so we’ll just flip them and sell them. At least we’ll make $$$ off it. But my standing rule is NOBODY sells the properties back to the conservative Anglicans who lost it. Better to sell it off as a restaurant than for the conservatives to get their property back, period.”

Diabolical…

I read it otherwise. It’s not a clear cut victory for the Anglican diocese, over the TEC rump, but it bodes well for the next go-around, setting the dispute in the commonly accepted parameters of property law.

At least, that’s how I saw it.
