Regarding the young, a...Outsider's commentary:<br /><br />Regarding the young, although widespread scepticism has been normal in your denomination since the 'Enlightenment' I don't see it turning unitarian tomorrow but rather - witness Derek Olsen at <a href="http://haligweorc.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">haligweorc</a> and Episcopal Café - the start of a back-to-basics movement, credally orthodox and emphasising your formularies and classic liturgy but liberal on controversial issues. Something parallelling Pope Benedict's Catholic renewal, which appeals to the young, and, among slightly older people, the conversions to Orthodoxy starting about 20 years ago. I have no idea how long your 'new Oxford Movement' would last.<br /><br />Regarding Latinos, you've done that before, with Italians 80 years ago. It didn't work: you had a few independent parishes come on board; most are now closed and the one remaining, St Anthony's in Hackensack, NJ, is conservative, opposing you on the issues.Ecgberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354592772973677609noreply@blogger.com
