Congrats! ![[Smile]](smile.gif) I hope you will be very happy in your 'new' spiritual home. Must have been special to be welcomed in on Easter Sunday.
I'm from a Brethren background, have some strong Nonconformist leanings, am also mildly charismatic, and have worshipped happily in Anglican churches for the best part of 30 years. ![[Cool]](cool.gif) I was licensed as a Reader (Licensed Lay Minister, to use the newer and much superior term) in 2001.
What made you 'move across', as it were?

Congratulations augustineofcanterbury2011 - I was Anglican for most of my life, and learned much of my theology within it. Is there any significance to 2011? (It was the year I ceased to be officially Anglican, although I still carry a lot of baggage from those days.)

Would that be the Raven/Taylor/Hales Exclusives by any chance Laurelin? My father's family once all belonged to that. Now those who remain all seem to belong to something different, ie. the C of E, UCG (an International Assembly), NewFrontiers, Orthodox, Religious Society of Friends etc etc. I suppose it's good we are at least all still believers.

No, Open Brethren. I've heard of the Taylorites but have no idea who Raven or Hales are! Which of course just made me Google. ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif)

Absolutely.
To get back on-topic, ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) , 'being Anglican' has been good for me. I've always been evangelical, but the liturgy also gave me room to breathe. Also, it was through Anglicanism that I learnt more about other traditions.
One of my favourite Anglicans is the late, great David Watson. His death from cancer in 1982 was a sad loss to the church. ![[Frown]](frown.gif) An excellent man who was also open and humble about his mistakes. A passionate evangelist who wrote some good books and led Anglicans into renewal, he was friendly and co-operative with Roman Catholics, and also had his head screwed on.

As a fellow Anglican, welcome!
I was brought up a Methodist, and, since making my own mind up about the Christian faith, I have been involved in various forms of churchmanship over the last 30 years, including Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement.
The Anglican Church is widely criticised for being 'woolly' and spineless. But, in reality, the parish system provides a framework of tremendous freedom and choice. In my own town here on the south coast of England, there is a wide choice for Anglicans: charismatic, anglo-catholic, evangelical, "mainstream traditional" (my own choice), liberal. So if you feel uncomfortable with one variety, then you can move to another, but without having to leave the Anglican Church. Some Christians may abhor this system, but I regard it as a manifestation of honesty and freedom.
Wishing you every blessing.

[TANGENT type=reminiscing]I've heard of David Watson, but never really knew who he was - so I just googled him. I found out he was a minister at St Michael le Belfrey in York - I went there on holiday with my family (I was a boy) during his time there. I expect I sat under his preaching without even realising who he was! (this was in September 1974)
I always wondered why my parents wanted to go there instead of York Minster - maybe now I know, so thanks Laurelin.
I remember it was very busy, and it was the first time I heard the choruses "For the Fruit of the Spirit is..." and "We lift our hands before you as a token of our love, Holy Holy..."
In fact I've never forgotten what the Fruits of the Spirit are, since I visited St Michael le Belfrey.

He was a lovely man. I spent a week in York in the '70s, staying with one of the families from St Michael Le B's. The Mysteries were on that summer too.
It seems like a dream now, but nice while it lasted.
Anyway, AugustineofCanterbury2011, I hope it all works for you.

We get this in just one church! There's room for all types of worship, so we get everything from the traditional to the charismatic - there's room for everyone in our church family. Something else I feel is important is the structure and discipline - we know that ultimately, we are under authority, and I have been involved in a number of churches which have been torn apart on the authority question. Anglican churches don't tend to split into splinter churches!

As an Anglican from the cradle, welcome to the franchise, AoC - glad you have found a spiritual home in which you are comfortable and will come to play a role in in the months and years ahead - even if, as some have suggested already, that is being part of a volunteer roster. The Morning Tea roster is often a good start as it means you meet so many people and get to exchange words with them.

It feels liberating and flexible if you know what i mean? the C of E is such a broad church and inclusive. I feel very comfortable. I quite like the BCP/traditional but i also go to other services as well.

I hope you can cook ...

Glad to hear you are so happy with your decision.
In my youth, I decided to look at the other options, as I'd grown up in the Anglican church but wasn't sure if I'd prefer any of the others. After extensive research, I now know that I'm an Anglican by choice rather than default. And that feels much better.

Yes, I usually go. We had about half a dozen of ours there this time. One of the women from the parish asked me how long it was likely to go on for - she didn't belive me when I told her - but in fact it turned out to be an underestimate...

No real outing problem, I never pretended to be anyone I wasn;t on here anyway (though I guess I'll not be posting my street address, just in case...)

Welcome AoC!
Don't believe them about the tea rota, cake, etc. Find the right parish and you'll find sherry after the service - champagne for festivals if you're lucky.
On the other hand ... how is your flower arranging? ![[Killing me]](graemlins/killingme.gif)

From listening to National Public Radio's Prairie Home Companion, it's my understanding that, in the U.S. Midwest, Child C would likely be a Lutheran!

Don't believe them about the tea rota, cake, etc. Find the right parish and you'll find sherry after the service - champagne for festivals if you're lucky.
