The biggest controversy the church has ever faced

[Torah613]

Decaf coffee or not?

[higgs2]

We provide both. Fair trade, too! Typical middle way solution

Good to see you around, Joe!

Well,

As an Old Catholic, I like the Old ways, Dark roast, fully-caffeinated beans but I recognise that the newer generation prefer other tastes. (Just so long as its not Decaf Tea which I consider proof positive of the existence of an evil in the hearts of men!)

You're an Old Catholic? I'm confused. I thought you were an Anglican priest.

 

[AngCath]

The seminary provides both decaf and regular and is currently in the process of switching to Fair Trade.

 

[ContraMundum]

Clearly only caffeinated coffee is truly of God. I cannot vouch for the other stuff.

 

[Colabomb]

Watered down Coffee is evidence of watered down devotion.

How can I argue with such wisdom?

SO,

I'm a Priest in the Anglican Church International which is an independent Old Catholic church.

 

[No Swansong]

Rotten liberals and their watered down ineffectual 'let's make everybody happy' brown water.

(That was a joke ladies and gents)

 

[No Swansong]

Oh yeah!

Hi Joe!!!

 

[DeoJuvante]

Coffee? Coffee??!! I thought everyone knew that the only truly Anglican beverage is tea.

 

[Anij]

At church it's both decaf and 'high test' (free trade)

At Sem, it's HIGH TEST free trade, and strong all the way !

Decaf coffee or not?

As a Conservative Anglican I feel that there is not scriptural basis, nor creedal evidence that decaf coffee is in the least bit Christian....therefore I would have to say that decaf coffee is of the devil...

unfortunately I have to drink it or my heart will explode...I got that straight from the Doc.

a fine example of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason if you ask me

 

[Torah613]

Good points all.

BTW is it true that you know your truly Episcopalean if the Church is on fire and you rush in to save the coffee first and THEN the vestments?

Jesus and the apostles didn't drink coffee, they drank wine. Now, where did I put that cork screw.....

Haha, dude you are awesome.

America was once a colony of England. We revolted against the Mother Country largely over the issue of Taxation Without Representation. The focus of this tax debate was a tax placed upon tea. After a very bloody war and many years of independence, we mostly drink coffee. In England, they still drink quite a lot of tea. We are all members of the Anglican Church, and are debating the after service coffee........


There is something profound in there somewhere........
