    Anglican prayer beads related to incontinence?

    I just ordered a set of Anglican prayer beads, and the confirmation page had a list of related items that included Depends incontinence underwear. I've never bought anything like that from them or would have any such cookies, so I have no idea where that suggestion came from. o_O

    Orthodox position on praying to Mary as intercessor

    How common is praying to the Blessed Mother for intercession in Eastern Orthodoxy? Is it as prevalent as it is in the Roman Catholic Church? Let's take the Roman Catholic rosary as one example. I understand that Orthodoxy tends to regard the rosary as an innovation, but I'm not asking about...

    What do you do during Advent?

    What do you do during Advent? Do you have an Advent calendar and the wreath with the four or five candles? Do you follow any prayer routines or do anything else specific to Advent? My family didn't do anything for Advent. I've seen the calendars, but until recently didn't even know about the...

    Marriage, Divorce, and Singlehood

There's more to that history, and it's a separate issue from the one...

    The Church's reputation for guilt

    The first time I became aware of the RCC's reputation for guilt was when I heard Robin Williams' joke about the Episcopalian faith being like Catholicism lite, with half the guilt. I didn't get it at the time, because I didn't feel weighed down by guilt. I lapsed some time later. When I came...

    For those who struggle with transubstantiation

    For those who struggle with the concept of eating the Lord's flesh and drinking his blood (the remaining physical appearance of bread and wine being an accident) because it can come across as cannibalism, what would you say to help them get past that objection? We can of course say that we must...

    Looking forward to some good discussion

    Hello, everybody! I'm a cradle Roman Catholic, but am strongly considering the Anglican Church. I've looked into other denominations as well and have seen in them some inspirational expressions of Christianity, but keep ending up back at the Anglican Church. I thought the diversity of this...
