Do you find it hard to make time for Morning and Evening Prayer regularly, but want something more substantial than Daily Devotions for Individuals and Families/Family Prayer/Forms of Prayer to Be Used in Families? Me too, and I'd like to share what I've come up with as a way to strike a balance. Principles: Devotions must be "expandable" into the full Daily Office. This is based on Martin Thornton's desired framing of the Office as a daily service that can be elaborated on Sundays and holy days, rather than a Sunday service that can be simplified on weekdays. This also means that the Confe ..read more

I know Anglican priests entering the Ordinariate can be married but if a nonpriest wants to become a priest for the Ordinariate would they be allowed to be married beforehand like the Greek Catholics or is it the same rules as the rest of the Romans except for Anglican priests joining? submitted by /u/Stalinsovietunion [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am currently digging into Anglican teaching on baptism and I am trying to understand baptismal regeneration of infants in light of salvation by grace through faith. The BCP famously states “this child is regenerate”, and although I have read Bishop Ryle about the principle of charitable supposition (i.e., such statements are said out of a judgment of charity, generally, and not as guarantees of every individual infant’s regeneration), nonetheless it is clear to me that the Prayer Book accepts that God may regenerate—indeed, usually does regenerate—an infant in his baptism. So my question is ..read more

Hello guys, Some time ago, I was curious about traditional Anglo-Catholic parishes in New York as I was visiting there for a time. I have since been several times, and checked out Resurrection, St. Mary the Virgin and more! While I am very fond of these churches, I would like to try out something new the next time I will be there next week, and since my own theology is more broad church or old fashioned high church, I thought I’d ask about any conservative TEC churches in New York which were evangelical or at least not Anglo-Cath. I understand that “conservative”, “liberal”, “orthodox”, etc c ..read more

I am relatively new to the Anglican continuum and am not sure what their position is on the sacraments of other Anglican churches. Would it be acceptable, from the Anglo-Catholic perspective, to attend an ACNA church, even though one is clearly Protestant and the other not so much? Would a regular Catholic Church be better? I ask from the perspective of the Continuing Anglican churches, not those just with more superficial Anglo-Catholic elements, such I know some ACNA congregations are more Catholic than others. submitted by /u/SteenES [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This Sunday when the priest raised the host it was perfectly illuminated from the morning light radiating through the stained glass window behind him. It glowed as if it was touched by heaven. I don’t know if this was architecturally intended when churches were build with east facing altars, but the effect was particularly and spiritually impressive. Also, it was a humble, small scale, inner city church building which added to the wonder of it all. Does anyone else have a similar story of this happening? submitted by /u/mouseceo [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The Collect O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
