    The Fascinating World of Eastern Orthodox Old Calendarists

    Old Calendarists are those Eastern Orthodox who regard the use of the Gregorian or Revised Julian Calendars to be heretical, and also regard ecumenism to be heretical, indeed, they are more opposed to ecumenism than to the Gregorian and Revised Julian Calendar, as these were implemented to bring...

    Some more beautiful liturgies, music and churches

    To start out with, I really liked this Church of England said Eucharist on Holy Wednesday of this year, from St. Marylebone in the City of Westminster (which is the largest and most populous Borough of London, home to Wesminster Abbey*, Westminster Cathedral**, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of...

    Beautiful churches, vestments, sacred music and liturgies

    There have been some unpleasant threads lately for those of us in the Traditional Theology community, and it occurred to me it might be quite nice to invite my friends who participate in this forum, who include but are not limited to @MarkRohfrietsch @public hermit @concretecamper @prodromos...

    Happy Ascension Day

    Once again I find myself recommending a liturgy from All Saints Margaret Street, the excellent Anglo Catholic parish in London that historically rivals St. Magnus the Martyr (I greatly wish St. Magnus would livestream their services so we could do a comparison): Also, here is a good...

    Help me with my signature

    I want to use my signature to ecumenically celebrate traditional liturgical churches. I was wondering if any of you who have Windows and Paint or better, and are graphically inclined, might help me continue my vexillogical theme. I would like a strip or quadrant of church flags, starting with...

    Liturgical Reform and Alienation, and Other Interesting Things

    Your post made me reflect on the interesting fact that in the history of the Christian church, in the past four centuries, the forcible implementation of a new liturgy substantially, or in some cases, only slightly, different from the old one, has produced some fairly spectacular schisms. The...

    On Hierarchies: Strong, Weak, Good, Bad, and Ugly

    This started as a reply to @PloverWing in the thread on altar guilds, but as I continued to explore the question of church hierarchy I decided that this needed to be a new thread. I do beg your pardon, but I fear you inadvertently made me uncomfortable, because the way you quoted me in the...

    non-denominational Protestant learns about Anglicanism

    Matt had previously done an on-site interview with a Greek Orthodox priest. This time he is interviewing an Anglican rector. This video is very informative and just plain interesting. I was actually surprised when the priest said they consider themselves Catholic, not Protestant. There is some...

    Teach me about Paedobaptism

    Well, this is a reach. I'm here for one specific question. I'm a baptist missionary, but don't let that throw you. I consider myself more strongly Presbyterian in theology, however, quite Anglican in ecclesiology, which is really messing with my head since I'm working in West Africa in support...

    More women priests being ordaned than men.

    An interesting report showing that women outnumber men being ordained as priests within the Anglican church within Australia. It marks a new order where the status quo for the future of the church will be more heavily represented by women within all levels of the church. Times have changed, and...

    The Anglican Drone

    I'd like to ask a couple of possibly trivial and probably impertinent questions about Anglican priestly rhetoric. In my defence, baptismally speaking, I’m technically-an-Anglican …if it hadn’t been for the God thing…. I also have a legit interest in English speech via a smattering of...

    Anglican Reformation

    This thread is about an Anglican view of the Reformation. Coming from an Anglican background and still broadly Anglican in my view of the world I have been asked to preach on Reformation Sunday in a German Lutheran church. It strikes me that the Anglican Reformation was very different from the...

    About the Church of England

    In a thread recently this was posted: The Church of England was created by a man that asked the Pope for permission to disobey the bible to marry his brother's wife. The argument was that because his brother and his future wife not have sexual relations, they were not married. This was true, so...

    How to successfully convert to Anglicanism and a few other things

    Hi, it's my first post here. I come from a Roman Catholic background and have been learning about the Anglican church and it feels like the place for me. Could someone explain the steps I can take to convert successfully? Also, I had a few other questions I am hoping someone can answer. 1. Do...

I'm hoping to gain encouragement and advice and wisdom from you all<3 When I was working at a grocery store, years ago, a woman used to come in, and every time she would ask me if I was Christian, if I followed Jesus. And I politely said no. And she said, 'Oh, you're...

    High Church, Broad Church, Low Church? A mix?

    Being new to the group, I am curious to see how people identify. In my own congregation, we have a 'low church' or 'evangelical' praise service on Sunday early morning and we have two Rite II traditional masses later in the morning as well as a charismatic service on Wedsenday. How do you...
