'Safe' Churches
Found this website over at MCJ: '...a list of "safe" churches that worship in the Anglican style.'

Okay, I am confused. I assumed this list would be for Anglican (Protestant) U.S. Churches. However one of the churches listed - St. Theresa's - in MA is a Catholic Church.
I realize that the Anglican church broke off from the Catholic Church and has many elements of Catholic as well as Protestant practices, but holding services in a Catholic Chapel?

Posted by: Roberta at July 15, 2006 7:14 PMRoberta - there are a number of Anglican Catholics who will point out that as far as breaking off from the RCC, history will show that it goes back much farther than King Henry VIII. The Great Schism is a period in Christian history that is rarely discussed, but reveals a great many faultlines that we are seeing today.

Thank you Ith - have sent them an email telling them about our church. Only orthodox are more traditional than we are in Anglicanism.
