    Can someone please present an argument for Episcopalian valid apostolic succession?

    It's quite easy to find Catholic churches that are still under the Holy See though, by going through the Dioceses. I looked up the Pittsburgh Episcopal and Anglican Diocese, but still couldn't find much info... maybe you can... The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh - of The Episcopal Church in...

    A Married Priesthood - Why not?

    Coming from a man who has been fighting between the two vocations for most of my adult life... I can tell you that I would love to be a priest and married to my wife. But I know that it would only make both vocations suffer, and suffer to the point where I would eventually have to choose one or...

    Sorry, that seemed a bit pretentious. I meant it in good humor.

    Can someone please present an argument for Episcopalian valid apostolic succession?

    Oy... then I think I'll just stick with the Catholic church. I at least know what to expect. :D

    Can someone please present an argument for Episcopalian valid apostolic succession?

    Like I said, here in the US, all Catholic churches distribute both so I'm not sure Wikipedia is the most reliable source on that. Here is an incomplete list (a couple of the churches I visited do not have websites)... http://www.standrewspgh.org/ St. Paul's Episcopal Church St. Alban's...

    Oh, I do that stuff too. But not that often. I have yet to impale myself though, which I guess I should be grateful for. http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/../images/smilies/biggrin.gif

    I walk contemplatively, so the chances of me stepping on anything harmful is pretty low.

    It is interesting though, that I never really see anything happen during the consecration of the wine, only the bread. So... perhaps the wine isn't even needed. But yeah, at least here in the US. All Catholic churches do both.

    Can someone please present an argument for Episcopalian valid apostolic succession?

    I am not sure if the services I attended were of the High Church tradition you mention. I'll see if I can find websites for each church and you can tell me. As for the host being in two parts... what do you mean? Body and Blood? Bread and Wine? If that is the case, every Catholic church...

    Can someone please present an argument for Episcopalian valid apostolic succession?

    I am afraid to say this... but I feel I must. Some of you will remember my big long thread about returning to Catholicism because of seeing what happened at the Eucharist. If not, you can view it HERE for reference because I really don't want to argue about it... I would just like to add it as...

    The main reason I bought them is for work, I drive a school bus and am required to wear closed toe/heel shoes. However, I really don't wear them any other time. I am ALWAYS barefoot. Especially when in the woods. I really want the KSO's because they look more comfortable on the heel, of...

    Ask PW about her faith

    SHOES ARE EVIL! If I didn't have to wear them at work, I would never have shoes on. But now with the 5 finger shoes, I can be barefoot and have shoes on. :D YAY!!! Sorry, no more hijacking from me. :D

    Vibrams 5 finger shoes are the most comfortable shoes EVER!!! Trust me, from a barefoot activist, they are truly amazing.

    Post your pic!

    Looks good! Being that I am not a master in MJER, I will not give any criticism. Sensei knows best! :D And I wouldn't worry about the techniques being "for real life". They ARE, just for real life in 18th-19th century Japan when everyone wore nihonto. :D

    'Look, sir, Druids!'

    Thank you! I love my stepson, it's difficult because he already has so many preconceived notions from his mom and grandmother that hinder him in the area of nature work, but I'm persistent and patient. :D Trees taught me that. And in October, my wife and I expecting my daughter... Gwyneth...

    'Look, sir, Druids!'

    It does make sense Bain. I suppose I'm having a little more difficulty because he's technically my step-son, and I married his mom when he was 7. So I've only had a year to teach him. But I like your approach, it feels more like my initial approach back when I was his age. :D Thank you!
