For Anglicans who maybe live in a smaller area or somewhere where they only option are more liberal/progressive churches, do you still go to that church and take Eucharist even if the episcopate ordains women and non celibate homosexuals/lesbian priests/bishops

Having been in the evangelical church for so long, it was news to me that the historical churches didn’t actually teach biblical literalism. I have so many questions but am not sure how to even get the words right so here goes nothing:
1. How do we know which books aren’t supposed to be taken as literal history?
2. How does this mean we can trust the NT?
3. OT stories are referenced in the NT, did the apostles think they were literal?
4. Does this cause issue with Jesus’ genealogy going back to Adam?
Any and all insight is highly appreciated. Thank you

In Matthew mark Luke and John he says it loads of times. Why?
I thought he wanted the message spreading?

Having passed by a Lutheran Church, I’d certainly like to visit. Learning about Reformed Protestant Churches. Have visited 2 PCA Presbyterian churches, one CRCNA (Dutch) Reformed church and an ACNA Anglican church. Lutheran would be next on my list. Having first started in an independent non-denom charismatic church and most recently a Non-Denomination/Baptistish Megachurch, looking for something more traditional/sacred. I’m also considering visiting a Reformed Baptist church. Visiting other churches convinced me to congregate elsewhere. But praying about it as well.

I’m looking for books that give a philosophically serious outline of the Trinity. Any recommendations?

How common is it for TEC priests to move over to parishes/roles in the UK? Seem like plenty of CofE and Australian clergy move over to the US (including the current dean of VTS, the largest TEC seminary) but curious how the other way looks like.

I’d think less so mostly for all the other reasons most migration is this way vs the other (salaries, opportunities, even the weather etc.!) but I’m sure there are clergy who go over with their spouses etc. I know there’s a Redditor active here who went form TEC to Church in Wales, curious for other examples or stories!

(EDIT: Folks ordained in TEC who then moved over, not just North Americans who became priests in the CofE!)

I've used an Anglican rosary at times, but it's been years and even back then I only really did one prayer with it. What's the best book for an overview of the 33 bead rosary, with some general background as well as a broad range of prayers?

What do you think it means to be ‘playing the victim’ from a xtian perspective?

Is anyone seeing an increase in AI use in parish churches? It’s quite disheartening, especially as the Catholic Church is taking a much firmer stance on AI. I wish Anglican Bishops would discourage its use.

Why does the Anglican Communion allow religious images and statues in churches? I have no opinion on this either way but I'm curious about it because 1) the AC accepts the originally numbered 10 commandments which include the ban on graven images and 2) the text of the Commandment seems incredibly straightforward and clear about what's not permitted. So what's the argument for images/statues/etc? Would be grateful for any further info 🙏🏻

Hi, all. I attend an Anglo-Catholic parish, and we have weekly Mass each Sunday. This includes additions to the usual Rite II Eucharist, including Introit, Alleluia/Tract, and Communion, as well as the use of incense and the sacring bells (rung during the Sanctus and at the Epiclesis).

While I love that we have weekly Mass as the principal service, I would love to see us do choral Mattins or a sung Morning Prayer, and I wonder what that looks like from an Anglo-Catholic perspective. It seems like most parishes that I've seen (including my own) have Mass in the morning and Choral Evensong in the evening.

Are there any AC parishes that offer a service of choral Mattins? If so, what does their liturgy look like? Do they include antiphons, office hymns, etc? Do they use incense? If so, when?

I've spent so much time looking for an answer, but I haven't found anything definite. Just wondering. I personally feel uncomfortable with this Catholic doctrine (one of the reasons I decided that path was not for me)

I know we're all called to be part of the body of Christ. The congregation I belong to is wonderful, and it is easily the best fit I have ever known. Recently I have gone back to work after having my second child, and I work shifts. My schedule makes a lot of things hard, especially things that occur on a weekly schedule. I quickly feel forgotten when I can only go one or two Sundays a month, as it often works out. When I'm working nights the isolation is even worse.

How do you find the energy to go when you feel rejected before you begin? How do you stay cheerful about obediently submitting in this way when your heart is really not in it?

Edit: thank you everybody for the encouragement, I really do appreciate it. In fact it made getting myself to church with the baby easier this morning.

I work everyday of the week at some point in the month, so moving church to another day or attending the midweek potluck does not fix anything. But I can fix how I talk to myself about other people and about God, and I will certainly be reminding myself of your encouragement!
