I thought I would share with you guys that I was officially received into the Episcopal Church yesterday by our diocese's bishop. The word that comes to mind when I talk about how I feel is "connected", I feel much more connected to the saints across the ages than I did before and the apostolic and catholic church across the ages. I grew up in Churches of Christ, and that while I was educated in church history and later in life about the more traditional styles of worship and, for lack of a better term, church organization. While I did consider church history to be my own religion and church's history, and even a continuation of that historical church, I just never quite felt connected to it, in fact, I didn't even realize that I didn't feel connected. In other words, I didn't realize what I was missing until I wasn't missing it.
Oh, and also not super important, during our class on Saturday, our rector pretty much said our little forum's title "Scripture, Tradition, Reason" almost verbatim during his final summary.
