PECUSA || Formulaic Anglican || Prayer Book Fanatic || Born of water and of the Spirit || Soli Deo Gloria
Hot take: Maybe, it wasn't a bad thing to dissolve the monasteries during the Reformation and to stop glorifying asceticism.
“There’s an asymmetry that no one explains. There’s are a million people in labor camps in China; Rwanda and the Congo—that was one of the bloodiest wars in the world; Turkey is illegally occupying Cyprus still illegitimately, illegally, much more dramatically even than Gaza; the…
The most unknown and/or ignored page in the entire 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Discipline is a necessary part of being the Church, something the PECUSA has too often forgotten.
Trail of Blood Baptist succession. What a meme lol
The Brethren/continental (Ana)Baptists were already baptizing by immersion before the Church of England was founded. The Waldensians were there before them. The Petrobrussians and more before them. What's hilarious about this comment is that Anglicans in the 1600s were…
I know people like to say the BCP has verbiage that can please both the spiritual presence Reformed and the AngloCaths… but imma keep it real. It is a liturgy for spiritual reception full stop.
Baptists preceding the Reformation is such a laugh. You broke away from Anglicanism in the 1600s.

Francis Makemie wrote in 1697 concerning Anglicans and Presbyterians: “That of all Protestants that differ from them [Anglicans], we [Presbyterians] differ in the least and smallest matters.” (Truths in a True Light)
Confessional Anglicanism is the way. youtube.com/shorts/jURe8Wy…
Pusey was free to imagine a different church in a hypothetical world that lacked the baggage of English Ecclesiastical history, the English constitution and then-current legislation. Pusey is not worth heeding when he pretends that such a church existed.
This is super important regarding the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. The Magisterial Protestant tradition does not confess Nuda Scriptura.
Yesterday I had an irreligious friend tell me that I give him hope because of what I've experienced and maintain a positive attitude, focus on supporting my family, and have what he described as a "good marriage". I thought of these verses. It is all Christ. S.John Chap. XIIII.
Infant baptism preceded delayed baptism, which was common in 3rd and 4th cent. After that fad, infant baptism returned to being normal practice.
Origen, Homilies on Leviticus 8:
A reminder that robed choirs in parish churches were a Victorian invention and were not regarded as "acceptably Anglican" by quite a few worshippers at the time. Parish services were also plain and said. The introduction of choral services in parishes was often controversial.
