The appeal of Islam, Round 2

Filed under: Theology, Denomination Wars, Prayer — kristy @ 10:24:02 pm

A month and a day ago I posted a response to J-Tron's response to the Episcopal priest, who converted to Islam.

We are Anglo-Catholics, so this line of discussion is much to simple. Oh, no. We like things much more complicated. (Can I hear an, "Amen!"?)

Now J-tron has e-mailed me a response to my response to his response to the Episcopal Priest, who converted to Islam because P&J is convinced that J-tron is a robot and won't post his comment.

*deep breath*

Got it?

Thanks be to God!

I thought that his response to my response to his response deserved the chance at a response from all of you, so here it is:

Thank you for your kind words about my post. I do know what you mean about the difficulty of praying a corporate office in private. Sometimes I do the individual reflections instead, but that still leaves gaps.

As to your other question, I don't think things are better in Orthodoxy or Roman Catholicism, despite the way they sometimes look rosier in our current unending battle in Anglicanism with heresy on one hand and apathy on the other. What moves me at this point is the continuing realization that Anglicanism holds within something precious that God doesn't want me to give up on. And there are a number of us younger folks coming up in the Church whom I believe God is calling for a purpose, one that perhaps will come to fruition in the years ahead as the baby boomers start to let go of their death grip on ecclesial power and politics.
