    Catholic priest joins Episcopal Church to be with woman he loves.

    People have the choice of rejecting it, period, and vast numbers have done so in recent years. They do not have to go 'somewhere else'- but this man did so, having remained with Rome, with Rome's apparent collusion, while flagrantly flouting its authority. That says a great deal about this man...

    Does a person's denomination matter?

    Do they matter to God, or to men?

    Does a person's denomination matter?

    I think that's going a touch too far. One might equally opine that the next comment will say that it does not matter if you go to two churches, or more. There are people who do just that, though of course they can be full members of only one. There are quite a few regular church attendees who...

    Boston Tea Party?

    Gay marriage approval sounds death knell for Anglican unity -Times Online "What do you think of the French Revolution?" "It's too early to say." Is this the death knell for Anglicanism itself in the USA? Has the Boston Tea Party played out to an inevitable conclusion?

    Theological Statement of the ACNA

    We may suppose that it is, perhaps. ;)

    Theological Statement of the ACNA

    Unfortunately, the 'Anglo-Catholic movement' has always given that upstart impression (even its name is a nonsense), and it is over a century old. The roots of this faux pas lie way back with the Tractarians. But then people still believe in a pope, and that soap characters actually exist. An...

    I assume tongue lies within cheek. :)

    Theological Statement of the ACNA

    Real theologians won't. The Anglo-Catholic imagination (seeking refuge, and solace, perhaps, :) ) might. But the cold reality gives no support to a fond notion, and with just a few words ACNA has declared itself incompetent and of no significance among those who matter. Now acne, that does...

    Why do we reject the papacy?

    That is a falsehood. Some Anglicans do precisely that, for the reasons already given. [/SIZE]

    Personal pronouns? Tut, tut.

    Why do we reject the papacy?

    The EOC and the RCC need the publicity, anyway. ;)

    Theological Statement of the ACNA

    If that is what Presbyterians, Baptists etc. recognise as their own polity, then there is no difficulty. Is that the case?

    Theological Statement of the ACNA

    The Quadrilateral is not evidence. Repetition of nonsense is an unacceptable way to 'debate'. If anyone can find support in the historic formularies of Anglicanism for ACNA's element #3 , let him now declare it. But bravely dealing with the question in my first post will probably render the...

    The Quadrilateral goes beyond Anglicanism. You have been told that already, iirc.

    Theological Statement of the ACNA

    Now are non-episcopalian churches, whose members are in the majority in the USA, among the divided branches of Christendom? Or are Presbyterians, Baptists, Congregationalists etc. to be consigned to 'other religions'? If not, how is unity to be restored when 'The Historic Episcopate' is a...
