What are the advantages of being a Anglican?

Answer 1

The Anglican Church is rich in history and passionate in its acceptance of all of God's people, without preconditions! We are a bridge between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants. We are a progressive church that empasizes reason and tradition in interpreting The Bible. We are not fundamentalist or rigid in our doctrinal beliefs. Some of the greatest and most profound theologians in history were and are Anglican. So many of our parishes and of course, all of our cathedrals, are architecturally beautiful and a testamont to our people's love of the church. I am always so awe-struck when I enter an Episcopal church and see the beautiful stain glass windows and the high altar! Its an added gift to attend an Episcopal service and experience the solemn hymns and the pageantry of the service including Holy Communion. We are a sacramental church that enjoys the gifts received from Jesus Christ. The Anglican Church encourages a diverse range of opinions and thought. We celebrate the uniqueness of all of God's people-no matter what their background is. I am an openly gay Episcopalian who feels loved and accepted everytime I attend my Church-unfortunately, I can't say that for other faiths including the Catholic and Baptist churches. If you want to be treated fairly without any conditions, then the Anglican Church has a place for you!
