You should be an Anglican because...

[Iosias]

...finish off the sentence :)

[chalice_thunder]

...finish off the sentence :)
...because we serve the Living Christ in the beauty of holiness and the holiness of beauty.

Roman Catholics have crappy polyester vestments, begin the liturgy with "Good Morning" and have an Anselmin view of sin and Salvation. But, they do know what John 6:53 means.

The Eastern Orthodox liturgy is really really over the top - Oh Theotokus how is it that at your breast you fed the one who feeds the world? How did you give birth without defilement? But, they do know what John 6:53 means.

All other choices have absolutely no comprehenssion of the daily cycle of prayer.

[Colabomb]

Because we have preserved the Purity of Catholicism. We do not enforce trivial, unessential doctrines on the body.

At its best, Anglicanism is STRONG on the core of the faith, and allowing for diversity on non-essentials.

Anglicans know they don't have all the answers, but they do let you ask the questions... :)

[higgs2]

Who is you? Some people probably shouldn't be Anglicans. I can speak to why *I* am an Anglican...

Yes! What she said.

Yes, I agree with this, too! :)

Your friend asks you: "Why should I be an Anglican?"
You reply: "You should be an Anglican because..."

[No Swansong]

Because it's closer than the Vineyard?

No just kidding.

[AngCath]

Mork was great, Jakob was great, Mr. Doubtfire was good. Pan was good. I do not however really like his standup at all. It is very blue.

don't forget Dead Poets...awesome flick...

Really? I cannot imagine that. He always plays very good characters, even Patch Adams was a good character.

I love all his characters, even One-Stop photo was a good character, as far as I can remember, but I might be wrong.

Some of his best characters were: the Fisher King, Bicentenial Man, Chris in "What Dreams May Come" (a wonderful film).

I really think that he has done more good in the film industry than if he had been ordained. He has managed to reach more people, that way.

Dead Poets was well written but in my opinion not very well acted. But hey that's why there's two flavors of ice cream, you know variety.

His standup is pretty nasty.
