England! Shall I move?

[NaasPreacher (C4K)]

My second choice would be Ireland, and third would be New Zealand -- except that NZ is so far from everywhere.

Ireland is lovely. We have been here since 1995. Not too bad to emigrate if you have a needed skill or work for an American skill needed here.

The economy here is really, really broken though.

And New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries on earth.

New Zealand is almost exactly on the opposite side of the world from Ireland. From what I have seen the landscape of the North Island is very similar to Ireland.

No, never regretted coming to Canada, and as of 1984 I am an official citizen. We didn't need citizenship to come to Canada orginally, but Mr. Trudeau was taking away our federal vote unless we were citizens.

I started off by serving 9 years as a chaplain in the Canadian army, inluding 3 years in Korea. I have lived in 8 different provinces and pastored churches in 5 of those provinces.

At first we went back to England and Wales for a month each year and preached in different churches. I also spent considerable time visiting the USA, nd studying theology at the Chicago Divinity School.

Health prevents me from travelling now. After the military, I became a Baptist because of my changed views on baptism, church polity and practice.

I don't regret my Anglican background. It made me more open to those of other persuations.

Cheers, I trust this will satisfy your question,

Jim

Thanks, Jim, for all that interesting information. You've had a full life.

St Patrick must of popped into New Zealand as there are NO snakes.

Gina, come to England/Britain by all means but you would have a heck of a job finding a decent Baptist church here. There are some but not many.

Oooh, yes, move!! So I can come visit you.

I'd move there in a heartbeat, but my hubby won't let me. LOL

Gwen....why would you move....you live in an exotic location!!!!

Ah, well, not so exotic when you have lived there all your life. haha.

I love England. I'm hoping to visit again before too long.

Depends what you mean by 'decent'; the one I used to go to was OK IMO.
