I suppose he encourages Morning Prayer.

I am curious, are you offering the eucharist in complete physical solitude, with no one present to give the responses? I've seen here in Texas that there is at least one person, usually about four, to give responses, in the local Episcopal parish, though everyone stays spaced out. At least the...

Note -- I read you as saying "spiritual communion," but some may nevertheless find the resource useful.

There are resources of this that have grown up in Anglican tradition, this being one example. The Armed Forces Prayer Book

Very well done!

My initial reaction is against them, but used in this manner you described, perhaps there is a "via media" here.

I am not really doing anything that I have not before kept as part of my spiritual discipline. Nothing can really replace the sacraments. But my prayer corner has taken a new feel as it has become my primary source of nourishment. I may be meeting in online services with a friend for...

I am considering joining a friend in another state via Zoom for morning prayer. As bad as this situation is, there are opportunities for making connections at this time that may not have otherwise arisen.

Anyone else doing anything in place of Sunday worship? What do you do? I do not actually do anything additional, although I offer prayers and intercessions and psalms daily. I don't really know what to add. But my devotions take on a different feel now that that's all I do. In a way, I am...

But the parish has lost a priest and having a difficult time finding a conservative priest to take over, especially one who will use the 1928 BCP.

I do not know, but these sorts of endeavors distress me! I spend the bulk of my prayer life in private devotions (which no hierarchy can take away from me) and as much as possible attend traditional worship or the closest I can find. I doubt all congregations will be required to use whatever...

Well, I can only say this is my own opinion, and I do not know of a stance on this issue that would officially bind Anglicans, but I would argue the boundaries of the Church are ambiguous. Many who said "Lord, Lord," will be told to depart, "I never knew you," and yet others will be recognized...

I disagree with the Islamic theological tradition, but who decides the "true" Islamic teaching if there is a more violent and a more peaceful interpretation? How could there be a legitimate authority to decide such a matter in a false religion? As regards Muslims, I believe they ought to be...

I do think she meant not with the times because she also loathed to refer to the sacrament as "the Body" or "Blood" even after a "heavenly and spiritual" manner, preferring to refer to it as a "story." Now, I do not wish to presume too much in what this clergy person may have meant or intended...

Though I am likely not as well versed as you in the fathers, I have enough learning to sense the truth in what you say. To put my sense of tradition into words, I'd say a man ought to inform his own opinion about a matter of faith and morals and hold himself before the good Lord responsible for...
