I haven't been around for ages but thought I'd pop by today! Hello again.

Mine have been from ebay as well.

Deffy, this sounds like its going so well. I'm really pleased for you.

Anglican, (Anglo-Catholic in a relaxed, relatively liberal way) and attend an Anglican church weekly.

I've always assumed that in the quotes you have selected, the crowns just symbolise the confirmation of salvation, not any type of distinct reward. Are you arguing that on top of salvation, which is given to all believers, there is some type of tiered reward system as well, which you earn by...

Hi, what does this actually mean? What are eternal rewards in this statement? Thanks.

I suppose this was what I was trying to get at. It seems that morning BCP services are purely to cater for those who have always had BCP (the elder members) while CW is the de facto standard now.

My parish uses CW most of the time but may have a BCP service mid-week, not sure. Most parishes I know will have an 8am BCP then a 10am or 11am CW. I prefer CW as it's what I'm used to and I find the BCP a bit all over the place in comparison!

Hi oceansmile! As others have said, it shouldn't be too difficult. Get there early, pick up the paperwork and follow everyone else. Sit a good few pews back and then you'll have people to watch in front of you :)

I think the problem with this argument is that, despite Henry VIII's desire for an annulment, not even he could have done what he did 100 years previously. The main driver for the sustained break with Rome & doctrinal change was the reformation taking place throughout Europe and its supporters...

That's great news. I'm really pleased for you!

already dark here, first eucharist of Easter complete :)

He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

Silvio, i don't remember michie ever posting articles about loans for body part enlargements. Not even a reminder that my banking password has expired and to change it by following a link. Surely that's spam. I can't see how her articles are the same thing, even if not all of them interest you.

i think a lot of people (Catholics and otherwise) have been caught up with and impressed by Pope Francis' first days. His simple style, connection with people and an unwillingness to be locked away behind closed doors has received a lot of praise, as if we had been waiting for someone to do this...

i tend to read a lot of the articles and don't have any problems with them. If they don't interest me, i ignore them. Surely if 'interesting topics' are being replied to a lot, they won't fall down the page for long anyway?

Sounds great, especially the plainchant. I wish our church had a choir :( At least we get the incense out for special occasions! I've been away from my usual church a couple of times in the last month but I believe we've stated in purple throughout, with everything showing as normal. I think...

Congratulations! I freely admit to not knowing anything about him before this but I thought his speech was great. I agree he looked a bit wooden when he first came out but throughout seemed very genuine. The last part, were he specifically asked for the microphone back (which I don't think was...

i meant non-christians but i suppose you're correct in both ways.

I wear a crucifix every day but can see why people would wear either. I think I prefer the crucifix because it's pretty obviously Christian, whereas crosses are everywhere and worn by anyone.
