    The Advantages and Disadvantages of Seminaries

    A member in Word of Faith made a post which I felt warranted a reply, but since I am not strictly speaking a member of the Word of Faith movement, although I share their Wesleyan belief in Sanctification, which is actually of Patristic and Eastern Orthodox origin, I thought it best to post it...

    Anglican Christian Monk training to become a priest

    So I've taken a vow of celibacy and a straight edge lifestyle. I was an average Christian before but relationships were getting in the way so that's why my name here is Lone_Disciple because I want to stay private from the public eye but still contribute or serve the community. After my...
  6. Stabat Mater dolorosa

    Prayer thread for our Pope, bishops, priests and Archbishop Vigano.

    In this time of trial. They all need our prayers regardless of what we think about individuals. As Vigano said himself; the pope has on several occasions asked us to pray for him. Let's do that. Lets pray for the pope and the church our mother. And for God to cleanse Rome for all filth casting...

    In Persona Christi- Not Just About the Eucharist

    In Catholicism, there is the concept that the priest stands in the place of Christ the High Priest on the altar and unites those gathered to the sacrifice on Mount Calvary, to the Last Supper, and to the Eucharists (Thanksgivings) celebrated by Christians throughout time and space forward and...

    Timing of Chasuble Vestment

    At Roman Catholic masses, I've noticed that priests usually vest fully, including the use of a chasuble, in the sacristy prior to the opening procession. At Episcopalian Eucharists, I've noticed that the priest often processes in and proceeds through the Liturgy of the Word with simply an alb...

    Video: This a video from a 20-year police veteran who is now an Episcopalian priest. She's also an African-American. All that combined gives her a unique perspective on this issue. It's a 16-17 minute video, which is longer than I'd normally post, but I thought some might find it interesting.
