And whether I or you approve of CANA's aims and methods, it is a functioning gathering of churches in communion with a large number of Anglican provinces and churches, and under Anglican bishops. Frankly, "as an Episcopalian" I don't give a hoot -- and have never liked the term "Father" anyway for purely Scriptural reasons ("call no man father, but your Father in Heaven"). But I'll do it out of respect, just as I would with a Roman Catholic priest. I realize that that is precisely what you are witholding here, and I suppose that's your choice. It strikes me, though, that "at home in TEC" seems to mean "at home with my doors locked".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-41832236750370222042008-06-09T16:58:00.000-04:002008-06-09T16:58:00.000-04:00It is my understanding that Mr. Armstrong has been...It is my understanding that Mr. Armstrong has been deposed from the priesthood (http://www.graceepiscopalcolosprings.org/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/armstrongdeposed.doc), so I'm not sure that refering to him as "Father" is completely appropriate. A minor detail, I know, be we Episcopalians usually like watching these details. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-4882504442770924132008-06-07T11:30:00.000-04:002008-06-07T11:30:00.000-04:00thanks for the link, Preludium, when I sent you th...thanks for the link, Preludium, when I sent you the disc we didn't have it on our website.
