#1 I got a question for any Episcopalians/Anglicans on this board.

I saw a rather large church in my soon-to-be new home that called itself "Anglican". I thought that was odd, since I had been told since I was a little girl that Episcopalians and Anglicans were the same thing.

Is a church that calls themselves "Anglican" here in the states a more conservative/old school bunch?

#4 A little thing called the American War of Independence resulted in the local "Church of England" franchises previously owned by the crown to come under new local ownership.

#5 What's springing up all over the US are Anglican "missionary" churches. Conservative Episcopalian churches revolting against their liberal bishops by becoming missionary Anglican churches for a conservative African diocese.

This, of course, leaves the liberal US bishops apoplectic with rage; but gives the US church a new, conservative bishop, albiet in Africa, for which they are more than happy to send large monetary gifts.

This, in turn, is an incredible shot in the arm to poor African dioceses, which are growing in leaps and bounds at the expense of Islam in Africa. In fact, it is so obvious that Anglican Xtianity is overwhelming the continent that Imams in Africa are in a major sweat about it.

Black Africans, it seems, when given a choice between Moslem slavery under Arabs and Anglican freedom, democracy and liberty, unfairly seem to choose the latter.

#6 Although I am a loyal Catholic, I gotta admit the terms "Anglican" and "Presbyter" are info-geekist "sexy" to me!

#7 Jonathan Winters once said that an Episcopalian was a Catholic that flunked his Latin.
