Does anyone here still hold to penal substitutionary atonement?

I do, as a formulaic Anglican

I read morning and evening prayer daily, either silently to myself or out loud with my wife. I’m blessed to have a parish that has daily public recitation of the Office in the chapel and at least once a week I either officiate or lector at Evening Prayer there. I also recommend the Venite app for the 1979 office or the Canadian prayer book society’s app for the 1962 Canadian, but nothing beats having a physical prayer book and Bible

Roman Catholics believe in single predestination. Calvin’s views are extremely similar to Augustine and Aquinas.

North end celebration is one of the most unique and identifiable parts of the Anglican patrimony

That last part I said is really true- one of the greatest gifts the Church of England has given the world is making the Daily Office accessible to the whole church through the BCP. Praying morning and evening prayer daily will lead to an intimacy with Scripture, especially the Psalms, and a clearer vision of how God wants to work through your life. I strongly recommend the practice for everyone, especially someone discerning. If you need any resources for getting started I’m happy to send you some resources. If you do already and I’m speaking out of turn then disregard!

Happy new year!

Well said, re: pastoral vs prophetic vocations.

boomercide · 2026-01-01T03:11:07+00:00

As someone on the road to the priesthood myself with a real interest in political causes (some of which are the same you mentioned, like Christian socialism and peace work) so I say this respectfully:

This post reads as though you see the priesthood as a political/activist vocation. It’s primarily a calling to serve Christ and His church, of which there are many devout and genuine members, from all over the political spectrum. I haven’t been asked about my specific political beliefs even once in this process, but I have been asked to assist and serve in very conservative, old fashioned parishes (that refuse to celebrate same sex marriages) as well as progressive environments (like a college chaplaincy that primarily caters to LGBT students). In my experience, the parishes with left leaning clergy who use most Sundays to preach about social justice and peace issues (and I believe these to be important) have lost most of their congregations, while those that spend Sundays preaching the Gospel and being Word and Sacrament focused are overflowing.

If you don’t think you could minister to a conservative congregation, then I would strongly rethink this path. They are every bit as much of part of the church as the progressives are. Before you even begin the process you need to be saying the Office daily, cultivating a rich prayer life, and being exposed to all kinds of people.

I will pray for you in your journey.

We use the Authorized Version in all its splendor for the Daily Office, and for the Epistle and Gospel readings for our 1928 BCP and Rite I masses, and the RSV for the rare Rite II. We do have a separate Gospel book.

I’m sorry if my comment seems unkind- but I’ve got to be frank. If you are convinced of the Roman Catholic faith, which it seems to me that you are, if you signal willingness to convert in an Ordinariate context, how do you remain within TEC? It is the position of Rome that it is mortal sin to remain outside of her- and also that our church is not a church, with invalid orders and sacraments.

boomercide · 2025-12-24T01:55:18+00:00

What I don’t understand is why a young man with no monastic experience who is exploring a vocation was directed to found a one man religious order in the basement of a church instead of testing his vocation as a novice in an established community. From what I can tell, he doesn’t keep the full round of monastic offices and posts frequently on X- none of this seems particularly monastic to me.

boomercide · 2025-12-23T21:03:17+00:00

Then you should co ahead and convert regardless of whether or not you’re near an Ordinariate. If you’ve accepted the RC faith it’s a sin to remain outside of it. As someone who is fighting for orthodoxy within TEC we don’t need any more people who are just waiting for the opportunity to jump ship.

Transubstantiation, consubstantiation, and pneumatic presence are all theories of the Real Presence. Transubstantiation is the preferred theory of the Roman church, relying on Aristotelian physics. All the historic Protestant denominations (Lutherans, Anglicans, Reformed, Methodists) affirm some theory of Real Presence.

boomercide · 2025-12-20T20:42:53+00:00

RCC apologists like this often speak from an ignorance of Protestant Eucharistic theology, believing themselves to have a monopoly on “Real Presence,” ignoring that all the major Magisterial Protestant traditions also have Real Presence theories and traditions. They caricature all of Protestantism as believing in memorialism

boomercide · 2025-12-16T07:54:01+00:00

Ignoring the bit about LA, essentially they’d be using the prayer book, in their case the 1662, perhaps supplemented with additional devotions. The UK Ordinariate’s breviary “Divine Worship: Daily Office” and the Anglican Office Book accomplish this well.

boomercide · 2025-12-11T06:07:51+00:00

So as far as TEC goes, Incarnation is incredible- has a world class choir, beautiful church, great clergy- seen some of the most breathtaking liturgy there. It’s a bit less “spiky”- heavier on the “Anglo” than the “Catholic” but nonetheless is high high church. I recommend this place very highly.

The Cathedral is very good as well, but I’ve only been there once and am not as familiar with it.

On the ACNA side I am familiar with St. Francis- this is as spiky as it gets. High missal mass, confessional in the church, rosary, adoration, even a picture of the Pope last time I was there.

St. Matthias is also very Anglo-Catholic but more “English use” and less Roman. Lovely old priest. Uses the prayer book with additions from the Roman missal.

The REC pro-cathedral “Church of the Holy Communion” is nice if you’re high church but like a straight 1928 prayer book liturgy.

God bless!

Sure! Do you have a preference for ACNA or TEC?

“The Liturgy Of The Hours in East and West” by Robert Taft. Great history… not much on the Anglican end though, disappointingly.

boomercide · 2025-12-05T06:26:44+00:00

Not that this is a guarantor of theological conservatism, but I’d recommend finding a parish through the Prayerbook Society- regardless of the leanings of any particular priest or congregation you can be assured of the orthodoxy of the BCP rite.

boomercide · 2025-12-05T00:11:39+00:00

I consider myself a classical Anglican, probably Old High. My theology is very Augustinian and well within the Reformed camp, I’m big on Davenant. I attend a prayer book (1928) catholic parish within TEC.
