The misuse an orthodox prayer book to the point that they have invented a religion that is other than what the prayer book, indeed the whole tradition of classical and orthodox Anglican prayer books demand. There are no daily services of Morning and Evening Prayer and while there are eight am services of Holy Communion every Sunday, it is only on the first Sunday of the month that the bulk of the congregation obeys our Lord's commandment to "do this." To me that is nothing less than Puritanism pretending to be Anglican and not Anglicanism at all.<BR/><BR/>Pity! Other than that they look fairly intelligent. Maybe they need to sing a few more stanzas of "Hear and obey."Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.com
