Hello and a question.

[PaladinValer]

This forum is for Anglicans in Communion with the Holy See of Canterbury as well as those Anglicans who are members of Independent and/or "Continuing" Anglican denominations. We also are the official home of the Old Catholics, as they are in Full Communion with the Anglican Communion.

And I would like to officially welcome you to STR! We have some other Independent Anglicans posting here and all three (Anglicans, Independent Anglicans, and Old Catholics) have, for pretty much the whole part, have gotten along splendedly. We simply ask that all sides respect the opinions of others, celebrate our mostly common ground, and not try to call anyone "schismatic," "un-Anglican," "pagan," or anything like that (though I have a feeling you'll have no problem with that ).

So enjoy your stay; I hope we get to hear some truly insightful and inspiring posts from you. Oh, and my gift:

Sounds like a plan .

 

[murron]

aaww, gee thanks everyone! I feel so welcome now. I know this will sound sappy (and believe me, I'm rarely a sappy woman), but my eyes just teared up reading how warm and welcoming you all have been. I've come here from a board that is currently enforcing an anti-catholic policy. I really guess I hadn't noticed how negatively it was affecting me until I see how welcoming everyone here has been.
Thank you, you all have made my evening!

Hey! I never got pastries or chocolate when I first came here!

Mmm, chocolate!

I knew I liked you for a reason!

And I knew I'd like you - how many people can pull off Monty Python in an avatar? I stumbled across some "bunny" slippers in a mail order catalog. You guessed it...complete with "sharp nasty teeth", rofl - that rabbit's dynamite!

Oooo, I must have!!!!!

It was my daughter's catalog, and she's already in bed. I'll check with her in the morning to see what company it was. They were a scream! We both saw them and said the same thing "we gotta get those for dad!" (Dad being my hubby/her dad). He's a Monty Python nut. He's forever quoting lines from the movie at the strangest of times - and he's got our 4 year old doing it. The bridge scene "what is your favorite color"...and I won't even go into the lengthy discourses he has on the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow.

I'll let hubby know (when he gets back from deer hunting) Guinness is his favorite. He'll be thrilled, lol.

Hey... I just saw those in the 'WHAT ON EARTH?' catalog. It also had the Black Knight (with removable arms/legs) and other Holy Grail stuff.





Oh, those daffy English K-nig-its!!!

"African, or European?"

Yes! That was where it was. I saw the Knight with removable arms/legs too, and nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

"African, or European?"

Well I don't know?

is this point where I get thrown off the bridge? lol

 

[Wigglesworth]

Welcome, murron! As you can see, this will be a nice place for you to hang out. Don't get turned away if there's a family spat. They always simmer down eventually. I know from experience it will be much more comfortable than the forum you left.

 

[PaladinValer]

Just look out for seemingly innocent bunny rabbits

 

[murron]

I feel silly, sort of, doing this ...because I'm so new here myself, but here goes...

I've brought someone to the forums. My hubby. I suppose I'm intoducing him despite being new myself - which is rather odd. He is connected to the site at the moment, but watching a show on TV (in other words, I'll probably pay for introducing him while he's away, lol). He's far more versed in our faith (denomination) than I am - and to be perfectly honest, it was his faith (belief and trust in God) which brought me back to God.
His name on here is Thurifer.
Hi honey

 

[RobNJ]

Well....don't just sit there....start a welcome thread for him!
