    Explosion kills seven outside Egyptian church

    Yeah, I read about that before I went to bed last night. Just an illustration of how such terrorist fronts hiding behind the symbols of Islam are devoid of any genuine religious insight or awareness of God, despite claiming to do things in God's name. According to the Q'uran, to kill people...

    What would the world be like if everyone became Catholic?

    Diversity of thought has at times been considered a strength of Catholicism, and those who feel that way would be celebrating, but for those wishing for strict compliance and conformity it would be a disaster.

    Best copy of 1979 BoCP (Episcopalian) for daily use?

    Hello. I am looking for a decent copy of this book which can stand up to regular and frequent use. There are copies listed on the Episcopal Church website but not much info and few details/no reviews. Amazon et al have a confusing number of similar sounding choices, including one that claims...

    Baptism on the Feast of St. Mary

    There are many issues which can divide us, but there are also things which unite us. I was baptized on August 15, 2010 in the local Episcopal parish. OK, break's over, back at it guys. :D

    For all of the infighting & hand-wringing over gay ordination & other disagreements

    Unchanging and universal eh? I sure hope the folks who believe that don't eat shellfish or wear clothes that use a cotton-polyester blend... ;)

    For all of the infighting & hand-wringing over gay ordination & other disagreements

    I am not suggesting it is irrelevant at all levels, just wondering about it "on the ground."

    Congratulations -- God bless you and guide you.

    For all of the infighting & hand-wringing over gay ordination & other disagreements

    None of it has affected the local Anglo-Catholic style/moderate to slightly liberal theologically oriented TEC church in my town in a way that noticeably impacts on me, or as far as I can tell on the church's services, its priorities or concerns over local outreach, etc. Honestly, other than...

    Can we pin/sticky one of these "Liberal Catholic?!?!" threads

    Whichever seems to have the best content. It seems like whenever one drops off from age another one springs up. There are two back to back at the top of the forum as I write this. Here are examples to choose from posted/replied to over the past year: Liberal Catholic? Sorry, LIBERAL...

    Two speak for 'soul' of Catholic Church

    It's sad to say, but the US Bishops have been moving at light speed compared to the upper echelons of the hierarchy, but that may just be part of how the institution is supposed to work. They definitely need to do more.

    Truth and Beauty

    So I wandered into a chat room on Sunday (I am practically never in chat rooms) where someone was asking a Catholic about why its better than so-called "plain" Christianity. As a tangent, there was a discussion about how to know something was true. This led me to talk about different...

    Two speak for 'soul' of Catholic Church

    From the Faith and Reason blog from USA Today...The Catholic Church -- the one in the hearts its people and the dusty streets of the world, not the much-troubled, abuse-rocked Vatican hierarchy -- gets some proud and profound defense this week from two directions. Columnist Nicholas Kristof...
