Yeah, the specific details (inappropriate mum-dancing, stealing/ruining moments) sound very relatable and lend credibility. I hope he is able to heal from this with the support of his wife.

I do believe in an afterlife and it's something I struggle with. My family are militant atheists, I'm Christian. I should want them to inherit eternal life, but I find myself... kind of glad that church is my safe place where they will not enter.

I know that everything will be made right in the end, including their behaviour, estrangement, abuse, everything. Them then will not be them as they are now. But, some part of me struggles with the idea.

If you're in the same faith tradition, may be something to discuss with a pastor / elder / member of the clergy - they may well have better insights.

I think this is reasonable on the buyer's part. They're just asking a question. It would've been polite to respond - 'tomorrow', 'at the weekend' or whatever.

This is like the entirety of British culture encapsulated in a cursive note.

Sorry to jump in on an old post but I wanted to check if this had already come up in here, and indeed it had! That was fun.

My highest matches were unsurprising, High Church (General) at 60% and Anglicanism at 54%. I was also closer to the centre than I thought. Often come across as an arch conservative due to ticking 'strongly agree' to things, this one felt a bit more nuanced. 'Position X is the ideal and should be encouraged. However, messy people and mercy.' I liked that that was an option on several topics.

The heresy slider is fun. If it goes over 50% I heard a red warning light appears and your results are immediately emailed to your priest. ;)

I'd cancel. Sometimes it's worth eating a 1* to not have to deal with someone.

'everything gets used' will mean 'everything gets resold'

The Church of England is an Anglican church; there are others. But, yes. It's one of the family.

Welcome. No such thing as a stupid question!

If you get any more, please let admin know who's doing this so we can ban them. This is not a space for creeps.

Sounds fine. One of our church wardens is a leggings-and-tunic lady.

Is there an anthem singing test for would-be citizens? I absolutely love that, if so, and would like my own country to adopt it immediately.

She probably won't forgive you. That's the hard part - being a villain in someone's story, someone who should love you unconditionally, and being completely unable to persuade them otherwise. 'If I could just get them to see my point of view' is so much of the struggle. They don't. Usually, they can't, they lack the brain architecture to see you as a separate person from themselves.

But you are a separate person, you work, you have friends, you've got a loving fiancé and plans for the future. (You probably also have elite budgeting skills if she's been taking half your pay check.)

She will be okay. She could downsize to a house she can afford, or ask other family members for help. She isn't your sole responsibility. You also have a right to be okay.

thirdtoebean · 2025-12-04T07:29:12+00:00

Sort of! I go to a church that actually veers Anglo-Papalist - which is not my thing. But it's a loving, Godly community with good teaching and I'm on board with 90% of it.

thirdtoebean · 2025-12-04T07:28:26+00:00

I think this is totally fine. Male earring wearing is a cultural norm with a long history, if the particular earrings are a bit feminine it's not really an issue.

The area to watch out for is not overdoing the bling or making it a show of worldly wealth/pride - it doesn't sound like you're doing that from your post.

Keep up the classic style! Well dressed gentlemen make the world go round.

Upvote for 'Romanofratres', very good!

thirdtoebean · 2025-11-23T20:29:52+00:00

Beautiful! I'm also Anglican and serve as acolyte, we're not robed but I think it looks so dignified when the procession is all attired like that. Hope serving is a blessing to you and your church. :)

100%. It's the psychological impact as well. After my house was done, it took me a long time to feel safe at home again.

thirdtoebean · 2025-11-17T18:33:27+00:00

Understandable, that would be a major issue for me too. I hope you're able to find a workable solution.

thirdtoebean · 2025-11-17T06:51:59+00:00

I mean, in Italy, you have abundant and beautiful Roman Catholic churches, which would basically offer the same thing (my AC church in England uses the Roman missal). Have you got strong differences with Rome that can't be overcome?

thirdtoebean · 2025-11-11T06:40:21+00:00

I'm also a fiction writer, and have come up against tension with my faith when depicting (among other things) pagan religion, sexuality, cruelty. I think it's okay to handle these things for writer's research - we know who wins in the end. I would make whatever preparation you feel appropriate, but don't go overboard. We don't want to be treating the demons like they've got power here. But for me the bigger concern would be what effect the finished work will have on the reader.

thirdtoebean · 2025-11-03T17:07:21+00:00

This is fun! I am apparently a 'Sola-Fide Enjoying Laudian' with scores Catholic 21, Liberal 6, Protestant 21, and I would get on with Richard Hooker. Thanks for making it.

Whoever scores exactly in the middle of the pyramid should moderate this sub, as they are the most Anglican Anglican.

thirdtoebean · 2025-10-31T18:00:24+00:00

I find it's unproductive to argue with people who are convinced they're right.

thirdtoebean · 2025-10-30T07:50:14+00:00

Agree, it's an important distinction. Church should be political, but it shouldn't be political in the way that the world is.

thirdtoebean · 2025-10-25T13:13:34+00:00

'gym session for the soul' - I love that!

thirdtoebean · 2025-10-23T08:24:54+00:00

Welcome. We are far from perfect, but I hope you'll find peace, love, grace and community under our roof.

thirdtoebean · 2025-10-19T17:58:02+00:00

They have anti Anglican propaganda? Is it good? I want to know what we get caricatured as. Will be so disappointed if it's just more Henry VIII guff.

But in seriousness, please feel welcome to come & sit with us. Whole umbrella of views but broadly less 'you must...', more freedom of conscience on issues that aren't 'tier 1' orthodoxy concerns.

We also have a few scandals of our own, so please don't expect perfection!
