Churches are trying but they are up against it, alot of them struggle to keep open so eco friendly up grades are not possible, also the older churches are not always allowed to change things, they have to apply for faculties to make major building work and some minor changes, these are not...

There are Reformed Anglicans who follow TULIP, so I wondered, all those people who are Reformed Anglicans, how do you feel about the direction the church is heading in? Would you consider moving to a different church or would you stay and work towards trying to reform the church from within?

I am an Anglican, I have traditional views and have an interest in reformed theology, I post in lots of places, it depends on what is being said and weather I feel I can contribute. :)

Fair question. The Church has a stone partition inside it which seperates the pews where the congregation sits from the choir stalls and alter, the lecten is built into the the partition so can't be removed. The Bible is too big to sit elsewhere and because the pews are fixed and it's a small...

Welcome, I think you will find the Anglican church will offer you what your looking for. Lots of Anglicans identify as one path eg Anglo-Catholic, but uses lots of things from the other paths aswell without accepting all the teachings, as long as you do stay within the 39 Articles your fine. :)...

I was wondering, does anyone here know anything about the Anglican Rosary? if you use it do you find it useful and where can you get them? I know they are different to the Catholic Rosary but that it all I know. Thank you.

In a service there are two lessons, a gospel and one from another book, not in all churches but in my local area these lessons are read by two people (each lesson has one person reading it unless it's children then they read in pairs) because the lessons have different people reading them they...

In England most churches offically prefer the NRSV or the KJV but in practice unless a service requires a certain bible, any bible is used, it really depends on the person reading from it as they use there personal bibles so, there is no set version. In my private study I use the KJV but I was...

I am a member of the Church of England, I go to a Church which worships in a Central Worship style, which basically means we worship in many different ways taking things from different areas of the Anglican commuion depending on what the service is and who the Vicar (or whoever is taking the...

I found these links for the Homilies, thought everyone else may find them useful. http://www.anglicanlibrary.org/homilies/index.htm The two books of homilies appointed to be read in churches : Church of England. Homilies : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive :)

Maybe. It would be nice if there was an auctual Quaker on here, I have found it quite hard to find information about them, a person who follows that way of life I think would be fasinating to talk to. Not that everyone else isn't fasinating of course. :)

I read some of the posts on the link you attached above and it's very interesting, thank you. :)

The Religious Society of Friends. Can anyone help me with information about this Christian Group? Thank you. :)
