Yet this is the joy of Catholic Anglicanism. We balance holy tradition with reason and Scripture in such a way that the individual is neither left unmoored to their own devices (as with much of mainline Protestantism) nor denied the dignity of conscience (as with much of Romanism). This kind of Generous Orthodoxy, to purloin a term, is supported by the comprehensive underpinnings of a creedal theology and Prayer Book Catholicism."<br /><br />What? I just came across your blog, and none of this has anything to do with Anglicanism in any historical sense of the word, or Catholicism in any historical sense of the word. A strong case can be made that you are simply making up your religion as you go, without any grounding in scripture, much less theology. Any of the founders of the Oxford movement would denounce this immediately.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681296306358764468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219339624327628786.post-39553700255177149612011-10-12T15:11:28.210-07:002011-10-12T15:11:28.210-07:00Except that your entire church in the US is barely...Except that your entire church in the US is barely 2 million-and shrinking away pretty quickly, too.<br /> Mainline Protestantism keeps trying to dress itself up and get a new gimmick but it's pointless.<br /> Religion is so boring-and we have much more effective ways of doing politics and spending our Sundays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
