Anglican Blues
Re: Anglicans Await Report On Possible Sanctions Over US Gay Bishop
I feel no Schadenfreude over the troubles in the Anglican Communion. I spent six years worshipping with Anglicans, and although never becoming a member, I have a great deal of respect for their Communion. From Anglicans I learned the value of the Liturgy I had grown up with as a Missouri-Synod Lutheran and once I learned of Anglo-Catholicism, I was a goner; in about two years from that moment I would be received into the Catholic Church. For me, the Anglican Church was a personal via media which ran not between Protestantism and Catholicism, but from Protestantism to Catholicism. Therefore, seeing the division caused by the arrogance of the American Episcopal Church causes me great pain, while, at the same time, the stand for "biblical orthodoxy" of Anglicans in Africa, Asia, and Latin America gives me cause for great hope.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
