'P' isn't even next to 'R' on my keyboard...

Technically, AMIA are not a 'breakaway' from Anglicanism, as they are under the oversight of the Anglican Province of Rwanda and therefore a full part of the Anglican Communion; they are of course a 'breakaway' from TEC but, then again, the vast majority of Anglicans regard TEC as a 'breakaway'...

Anglican/ Church of England

If I can drag the thread away from the usual tired old Calvinist-Arminian mutual loathing society (makes a change from Catholic-bashing I suppose...) and back to your OP.... I would say to not judge the Anglican Communion by the TEC, as the doctrines and practices they are pursuing are not...

You've totally missed the point about having a loving relationship, then.

The above is from Lumen Gentium and has been incorporated into the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

No-one, it seems, has mentioned love which surely is a cornerstone of the Christian's walk with Christ. Now, if you love someone, you want to please them and do things for them, and if you hurt or offend them, you want to put it right. It seems to me that the sacramental economy of the...

Yes, but the hierarchy won't admit it to you. See, for example, Lumen Gentium, art 15 and the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, one of the co-authors of which was some guy called Joseph Ratzinger (wonder what happened to him?), in which it was effectively admitted by the...

Kind of guessed that with your handle! Thx. Appreciate that.

These guys seem sound but they don't have any congos near my in-laws (south London). The reason I plumped for Baptists as a possible ship for them to jump to is that F-i-L in particular has spoken with great affection of Baptists he has known as being men of faith, and is an admirer of Spurgeon...

Only really present in the 'Celtic Fringes' ie: Scotland and Northern Ireland. In England, the main Presbies merged with the Congregational Church(es) in 1971, are now known as the United Reformed Church and are about as conservative as TEC in the US, so no way would I be recommending them to...

Thanks for this. The guy is a dangerous nutter and needs to be taken out.

I saw no evidence of love in that video from the father. Hatred, uncontrolled anger, a man not in command of himself, all of those, yes. But love, no.

If you can...

I think in the US, 'liberal' has now been silently prefixed with the word 'social', meaning that an American liberal will be in favour of same-sex marriage, abortion etc. They will also tend to be in favour of a more interventionist government economically ie: the precise economic antithesis of...

Thanks, that's appreciated. TBH, I don't think that Calvinism -v- Arminianism are such big issues this side of the Pond. The in-laws would say that the two run somehow (mysteriously?; they would say that we can't presume to know the mind of God on such things) in parallel. The mainstream...

Same here. BTW, I presume you mean by 'liberalism', the 'classic', more European definition ie: what Americans would call 'libertarianism'..?

Any theological tips for challenging the PBs' objections to the Baptists in my OP?

"Cafeteria Catholics", we call 'em over here!

I fear I have :(. Really hope they don't go that way.
