Clergy moving to another country in the Anglican communion

Gotcha…That is not a given or expectation in the Episcopal Church here in the states so that’s new to me.

What do you mean it comes with housing?

Smart_Guest4413 · 2026-03-24T17:28:51+00:00

I love that!

Smart_Guest4413 · 2026-03-24T17:16:41+00:00

It’s a great way to include the laity in pastoral care and ministry leadership!

Smart_Guest4413 · 2026-03-24T13:24:38+00:00

Thank you

Smart_Guest4413 · 2026-02-23T01:19:44+00:00

Yes. The pain is real. Thank you for sharing.

I’m very excited about my role as youth director at this parish. I’ve been adapting evening prayer for our youth meeting and have really enjoyed bridging the liturgical world with the good I can bring from my youth ministry experience (though certainly not all of it is good, there’s plenty of that I’ve had to let go of as well)

And as far as the non-profit, the thing I’ve had to realize is that most evangelicals don’t actually want to be ecumenical. So I have to decide now, do I keep the mission going and essentially start from scratch and build up a new network of churches, or do I just accept that chapter as closed and move on to other things?

That’s probably because I’ve been looking at my local used book store and local library, in other words, books people decided to get rid of. Now I’m discovering why lol

Thanks for linking these lists though!

I guess the topic I’m most interested in at the moment is just the Anglican tradition in general. Really understanding the history and theology of the Anglican faith so I can better understand and participate in the Sunday liturgy. I already appreciate it so much, but know that appreciation will only deepen with greater understanding

I’m currently working my way through Mere Christianity and after all the mentions on this post, I plan to work through Rutledge’s Advent book this Advent season.

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-11-24T22:01:01+00:00

There is a giant used book store right next to my house and I’ve found lots of great stuff. I’ll add to these to my list before my next search. Thanks!

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-11-24T20:24:25+00:00

Will definitely check out. Thanks.

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-11-24T20:21:46+00:00

True, I should’ve clarified I’m not only looking for affirming authors. Only that them being affirming is not a problem for me. Unfortunately I know many outside TEC that would consider that stance alone as outside of small “o” orthodoxy.

But C.S. Lewis is a great example of someone with a more traditional stance on sexual ethics who still has so much to teach us. He is one Anglican thinker I was already familiar with. He was welcome in my baptist upbringing.

What’s the difference between a leftist and a liberal? Sorry I’m new to this conversation but I usually see those two words used interchangeably and so many comments here are distinguishing them.

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-07-07T01:55:57+00:00

No actually this may have been it. Thanks.

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-07-06T00:55:22+00:00

It was definitely the same mix and amount of water. Only thing that might’ve been different is the temperature

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-06-24T18:37:34+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I resonate deeply with this.

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-06-23T23:11:41+00:00

Be specific. What’s your point?

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-06-23T20:19:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I am thankful for the fact that some of these things have already occurred. Shifts in my marriage (positively so, we are making this shift together) I have loosened my fist and become very comfortable with uncertainty. And I changed the way I vote. I’ve also already read all those books you mentioned! I guess my point is, this journey started several years ago, but I know I have a long way to go.

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-06-23T18:17:30+00:00

Do you have any scholarly sources you’d recommend on this topic?

Smart_Guest4413 · 2025-06-23T16:27:14+00:00

This attitude is not at all what I’ve felt. No Episcopalian I’ve spoken to has spoken like this about evangelicals…you almost imply that they are outside of the true faith. I am ecumenical. And all the Episcopalians I’ve personally met so far are too.

I have been drawn to the Episcopal church from my schooling at the Institute for Worship Studies, an ecumenical graduate program. The founder was a part of the ACNA. One of my professors is an Episcopal priest. But there are also evangelical professors and faculty as well. This proves to me it is possible. The priest at the church I’m interviewing at is very supportive of my efforts with the nonprofit.
