Out of curiosity, is the 2019 BCP mandated in ACNA, or are there still dioceses or parishes where the 1979 BCP, or the 1928 BCP, or the officially sanctioned traditional language version of the 1979 BCP, the Anglican Service Book, etc, are still allowed? I would assume the Reformed Episcopal...

I recently published an article about the United Church of Christ supporting abortion, and now I feel its time to call attention to the fact that, unknown to myself when I was a member, the Episcopal Church has officially supported abortion since before Roe vs. Wade, even though many...

I will not include using video tags to link to this vulgar event: https://youtu.be/a999t7n04KI It seems to me that such an event epitomizes everything wrong with the Episcopal Church USA. My indignation would be much less, I should add, if they had not had a boys choir present, but the fact...

As many of you know, I love Gloucester Cathedral: the exquisite, luminous architecture, wherein the roof of the cathedral seems to float atop curtains of stained glass, the music program, indeed, even the service of Choral Evensong composed for the cathedral by Herbert Howells is my favorite of...

Thirty-Nine Articles, or Articles of Religion – The Episcopal Church What do people think of the 39 Articles? I understand that the Episcopal Church has never required subscription to them, but do people find them useful or not? My priest and I had a brief conversation before service this...

Merry Christmas to all members on the Gregorian Calendar. The Ethiopian and Coptic Orthodox Churches are among those who will be celebrating Christmas on the 6th and 7th. While reading my English translation of the Ethiopian Qedase (“Holies”, the Divine Liturgy) specifically to compare their...

I am compiling a list of parishes, cathedrals, chapels and local churches in Mainline and other denominations that have unusual and potentially erroneous practices and beliefs. Presently the list includes the following parishes, local churches, and cathedrals, in alphabetical order: All...

Hi, Relatively speaking, I'm a traditional Christian (I identify most closely with Anglican), but I'm moving soon far away, to a town with no traditional Anglican churches but many mainline churches (Episcopal Church, PC USA, Evangelical Lutheran, United Methodist, etc.) Of the mainline...

Good Evening, After many years of searching for a church denomination, I settled on traditional (non-mainline) Anglicanism a few years back, and I don't regret it. I think the middle way of the Anglican tradition is closest among all existing churches to the way of the early church. However, I...

This started as a reply to @PloverWing in the thread on altar guilds, but as I continued to explore the question of church hierarchy I decided that this needed to be a new thread. I do beg your pardon, but I fear you inadvertently made me uncomfortable, because the way you quoted me in the...

I shared this video on my Facebook account and thought the folks here would appreciate it too.

I would attend an American Anglican church but the closest one is just under 2 hours away and there's an Episcopal Church about 10 minutes south of where I live. Any ideas?

I am legitimately curious now to see whether any other of our active practising Anglicans have been in a parish or congregation where a creed other than the Apostles' Creed or Nicene Creed has been used. At our parish, our praise service, that is the contemporary 'evangelical' service, uses a...

The Scottish Episcopal Church voted in favour of allowing legal same-sex marriages in church in their 2nd Reading of the proposal joining The Episcopal Church (US) in doing so. The Anglican Church of Canada passed the 1st Reading last year and some dioceses went ahead with final approval early...

Since 'Anglican' is the option given to all of us in or related to the Anglican Communion, what are the different provinces and churches represented here?

Personally, I have been supportive of full communion between the Episcopal Church and the UMC for awhile. We already have full communion with the ELCA, in which I grew up, the Old Catholic Church, the Mar Thoma Church, and the Moravian Church. What do y'all think? United Methodist Church...

After GAFCON, a conservative or traditionalist alliance of Anglican churches, announced that they are going to appoint a missionary bishop for England and Scotland, the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church wrote a letter rebuking that. He argued that the bonds of affection that hold the...

WHAT were they thinking?! This is a horrible apostasy and heresy. A passage from the Koran that denies one of the central tenets of the Christian faith was sung aloud at a cathedral service in Scotland. The passage from Surah 19, which specifically denies that Jesus was the Son of God and...
