I had an idea to add a little more variety into the mix here on OBOB. I thought it would be interesting for us to go down the list of protestant denominations and discuss whether there was anything that we as Catholics could learn from them. Each day the subject can be a different group within protestantism and we can analyze that tradition and see whether anything about it is appropriate for the Church, or maybe nothing at all.
Just to clarify: I'm not saying the Catholic faith needs to change, especially the theology or the Sacraments. That's the best part. But what about outside of those things? Do our protestant cousins do anything that might actually improve Catholicism? Put another way, do they do anything that deep down is truly a Catholic thing because it's rooted in the oldest aspects of Christianity, but for one reason or another the Church lost sight of that and it fell by the wayside?
If you guys are interested in having—what I intend to be—a casual and lighthearted discussion, we can start off in this thread by looking at the Anglican tradition and work our way through the various groups across the gamut.
