    Most Liberal/Radical

    Thank you so much for this recommendation. When I began posting on Anglican message boards my spiritual beliefs were in a complete state of upheaval and reformation. I do attend an Episcopal Church but this particular prayer book gets closer to the theology I have chosen to embrace, the theology...

    Liturgy online

    does anyone here know of a resource for viewing Church of England services online? I’m looking for something for when I miss church.

    Thank Rev.! I’m going to buy them... I am currently using the 1662 BCP and supplementing with the Monastic Diurnal. So I need a “palate cleanser”.

    Liberal/Radical

    This is a question I posted on another board but I thought I'd ask it over here. What is the most liberal/radical prayer/office book you've encountered. Feel free to use whatever definition of liberal and radical you want. Thank you for considering my question CFD

    Most Liberal/Radical

    I love asking questions here because you are all better informed than I. So here goes... what is the most liberal/radical prayer/office book you know of. I leave it to you all to define the words liberal and radical yourselves. CFS

    Private prayer...

    The Episcopalian visitor is back with another question. I will be meeting with a Pentecostal pastor on Saturday but I have to ask... aside from Sunday/corporate worship... how do you pray in private? Teach me to pray... simply.

    Baptism in The Holy Spirit

    In 2016 I was Roman Catholic (now I am an Episcopalian). I went to auricular confession and confessed every sin I had committed from the age of reason to that day. For two years after that I was free of my addiction but fell away from being a devout Christian. Now I am having a reversion...

    Baptism in The Holy Spirit

    Ok... so here I am. I want to get down on my knees, repent and pray to receive baptism in the Spirit. How do I do that? Is it as simple as asking?

    Baptism in The Holy Spirit

    Thank you so very much so far but please be patient with my questions. What things “quench the Spirit”? And can I receive the Spirit and then turn my back to it, only needing to repent again? Can a person be too far gone in a state of sin to repent and receive the gifts of the Spirit?

    Baptism in The Holy Spirit

    Ok... when it comes to repentance I have some questions. I have a besetting sin, an addiction. Do I need to be completely free of this sin, this addiction, before baptism in the Spirit takes place?

    Baptism in The Holy Spirit

    Dear friends! I am a visitor to this board and I have a question. Do you need to be a member of a Pentecostal Church to be baptized in the spirit or can it happen while you are alone in personal prayer? What conditions must exist in your life for the baptism in the Spirit to take place? And...

    Objective Truth

    @everbecoming2007, @Albion... thank you both for your posts, you hit on the key issues that I needed resolved in my mind. Now I have a great deal of peace about my decision to leave Rome and become Episcopalian. Also I now feel like I have direction in my continuing conversion. God bless...

    Objective Truth

    dear friends... I think, or hope, we can all agree that truth is objective. There can only be one truth. When I was a Roman Catholic I believed I had cornered the market on the one and only truth given to me by the one and only true church. Over the past few days I have come to question quite a...

    Sola...

    Thank you for your answer. I’m trying to keep an open mind, I’m interested in truth and some of what I have read on this forum is challenging some of my decades long held beliefs.
