Why?
ReplyDeleteA little research indicated that this group is not the mainstream Episcopal church, but a traditional Anglican group. Maybe that's why.
ReplyDeleteThey're a very good variety of Anglican, not in communion with the Episcopal Church in the USA. Their bishops have met a number of times in Russia with Met. Hilarion Alfaev. Lots of good possibilities.
DeleteI did not say it Was a good thing. I think joint memorials and prayer services between UKrainian Catholics and Ukrainian Orthodox is not good. But then which Patriarch doesn't pray with Papistd or non-Christians? If one wants to be 100%, the maybe the Greek Old Calendarists are the way to go. But then, they are split into factions....
