Would this be considered a mandatory belief among the Anglican/Episcopal Church? Is there a middle path to take with something this crucial?

I was speaking to a friend and coworker about prayer, and we got on the subject of mediation. I asked him if he prays directly to the Father, to the Son, or to the Holy Spirit. He thought about it for a while, and then said he prays mostly to the Father in the name of the Son, and that less...

I am creating this thread because I do not wish to continue the derailment going on in the thread about Eucharistic beliefs. The OP asked for it not to become a debate thread and I think that should be respected. Regarding the above statement, this is a huge misconception that really should...

I am unfamiliar with this term but I noticed the term 'Bible Believers' in an article attached to a recent thread. Is this another way to describe Sola Scriptura? Are there non bible believing evangelicals?

I have just begun reading this book in an effort to learn more about the teaching of purgatory. Has anyone here on this forum read or heard of the book? Does it agree or contradict what is commonly believed?

I think this is something that all of us can benefit from discussing. Who doesn't wish to be blessed? 1. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Ok first off, what is poor in spirit? Does 'for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven' mean that the poor in spirit...

Can someone please explain these terms to me? I've seen them quite often but I've never had them explained.

Please help me understand something. It is my understanding that Jesus is the Word of God, and Christ is present in the Eucharist...so wouldn't participating in the Eucharist be focusing on the Word of God? Do we view the Eucharist as something beneath reading scripture? I am assuming nothing...

Hello to you all. I would like to know if the Eastern Orthodox Church requires a married couple to join the church together. To clarify, I do not live near an EO Church, but within the next couple of years I will very likely be moving to an area where I will be able to attend one. I spoke...

Hello again I was wondering if the Orthodox Church has set doctrine on the death penalty, and abortion? Once again this is purely for my own learning, not to spark any disagreement. Pax Christi CC

Hello Would someone please explain to me the theology behind the closed communion of the Orthodox Church? This is in no way a debate, I am trying to learn. Pax Christi CC

Would someone be kind enough to share with me the Roman Catholic teachings on Hell? CC

In Luke 9:26-27 it reads: 26Those who are ashamed of me and of my words, of them the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27But truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom...

First off I'm an Episcopalian, and a pretty new one at that. I'm asking my question in this forum because I think more people here would be able to answer. My parish and a nearby Roman Catholic parish are going to start doing something called Stations of the Cross together. Apparently it will...

Today was baptism day!:clap::amen: It feels like I've been waiting forever, but patience has always been a weak point of mine :). Today was also my first time partaking in the Eucharist...someone really should have prepared me for the taste of the bread..whoa :P. It was a lovely day, one I'll...

I had a conversation with a friend at work today, and I thought I might pose of of the unresolved questions here while I searched for answers myself. We began talking about the Holy Spirit and I asked him if he knew at what point we are granted the Holy Spirit. Neither of us were very certain...
