May God bless St.Clement's Parish, for upholding the True Orthodox Catholic faith in the Anglican Communion, and let us all pray for True Unity for Catholic revival in the Anglican Church in the World, may we trust in the prayers of Our Lady, and stand fast in the faith against the wickedness and snares of the Devil, and trust in the glorious mercy and power of Our Lord Jesus Christ, may we all cherish the truths of the Incarnation this Christmas-tide, and Adore Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament
Well anglo catholic or high church is not just liturgy but also faith, when talking about bishop Gene Robinson. About allowing Low, Broad, High and also Old Church (that is only in Lutheran tradition) there is not only in the Episcopal church but also in other parts of the Anglican Communion, and in the Church of Sweden.
I've attended church here. They may be liturgically orthodox but +Gene Robinson would fit in very nicely at St. Clement's. They truly follow the motto of the Episcopal Church, "All are welcomed." As a former music director in a Roman Catholic Church of 6,000 members I could never do anything like this. Only in the Episcopal Church do we allow the diversity of Low,Broad, and High Church. St. Clement's simply wouldn't exist as a RC Parish.
Not really, they still believe in Protestantism, they may look like us, but they certainly don't believe the same things we do. I do understand what you mean though, that liturgy-wise, they'd have no objections if they were to join the Church. Also, they support homosexual "marriage" as of late, like the whole Episcopal Church.
The wonderful music, the style of worship is not considered pasteral. RC's don't have a gospel processional. They rarely use incense and due to the lack of priest churches of 2500 members or less have been merge or closed due to lack of priest. Again, St. Clement's would be closed.
Pasteral? Also all you see here is what would be traditionally done by Catholics before the evil abomination of the Second Vatican Council which took place from 1960-1965 I believe.
No, God please let them come into your church, for out of it, they are damned to everlasting hellfire. God, the Most Holy Trinity, please choose to exercise your mercy upon them. Amen.
The baby’s have excellent taste. Let’s face it, they do simply love Art and Music. God has made a mansion for all us. I detect jealousy in your statement. If church gets one kneel and utter the Word of God so freely, how can that be a bad thing? Saint Clement Church is none political and that’s the way it should be for all churches. It’s solely about the Sacrifice of the Mass......and of course Coffee Hour in the Upper Room.
