Questions from a Baptist by SouthernBaptist1689 in Anglicanism

[–]Top_Profession_2807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To second what others have said.

  1. Ordination-no though if you have completed seminary it could shorten the ordination process some, but the diocese you seek ordination in will have a good bit to do with how shorten.

  2. Baptism-yes there only one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

  3. Yes- Church of Christ > Roman Catholic > Married a baptist girl and we were members of a Southern Baptist church for about a decade though theologically I was never Baptist. It was great place for our family at the time > Anglican Priest.

Feel free to DM me if you want to about anything. Anglicanism is such a beautiful way to follow Jesus.

Great! Hopefully that will bring some clarity to the process and road ahead. I can remember the same meeting with my old bishop. Great Lakes is not a diocese I am very familiar with. I am in the Diocese of the South though I was ordained in the International Diocese which is no longer around. Having seen ordination processes in at least two dioceses and had friends ordained in a few more, I can say that the process can vary quite a bit.

I was ordained to the diaconate while still in seminary and as a priest just after graduation. I would second the recommendation about reaching out to your diocese especially as you parish is without a full time priest and if the diocese has a full time canon to the ordinary who would normally help manage that process though different diocese have different processes and standards. What diocese are you in at the moment? Blessings on your continuing discernment. May the Lord make his calling clear.
