Whenever I am asked what the Episcopal Church is like my quick answer is simply, "We are a lot like Catholics, but we don't have a Pope, and we like women".

@Tomas21052 Christ was certainly a male, but he was also Jewish, and in many Jewish texts God is without Gender, as gender is but a human quality. In many Anglican Churches during Holy Week, it is exclaimed 'Christ is Risen! Hallelujah, Hallelujah!' by the male priests, when it was Mary Magdalene who first said these words. The same Mary who in the lost Gospels lead the Church after the male disciples fled in fear of persecution. Look up Peter Owen Jones: Lost Gospels. He's an Anglican Priest.

Considering Anglican conversion, just need further investigation!

Enjoyed video as an Anglican Priest (ACNA) who started life as a Baptist ad through a long period of study and discovery including going back to the early Church fathers could not go Roman or Eastern and found a home in the conservative arms of Anglicanism.

@TheCrazyCello The Anglican Church of Canadian and the Episcopal Church are in Communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Churches in both countries, both Churches having recovered Apostolic Succession from Anglicans and the Church of Sweden. I've spoken with a few older priests and they view the attitude in the Anglican Churches to better than during the 1960s with the debates on remarriage of Divorced persons. In 50 years will be arguing about something else as per usual.

@TheCrazyCello The World Lutheran Federation isn't really a Communion. Since I did this video the World Communion of Reformed Churches is now larger than the Anglican Communion though. Thanks for your comments.

It's a quite informative channel. I like its respectful and non-polemical style. You said that you are not a cradle Anglican. May I know which confession did you convert from?

@Reazzurro90 The only reason I even mentioned that there is a division in the Anglican Communion on Women's ordination is due to opposition still in some places in Africa, such as the Church of Nigeria, which does not even allow women to be Deacons at this time. However, even in places like the Bangladesh, Brazil, North India, the Philippines, Southern Africa, and the Sudan the Anglican Churches there allow the Ordination of women as Bishops, but have yet to elect one.

I love your videos, and find them very informative. I'm a roman catholic seminarian, and planning on writing my thesis paper on similarities and differences between the theologies of catholic and protestant church. I knew almost nothing about what anglicans belive, and I wanted to thank you for your work. I might adress you with some questions in private, if you can help me.

@ChristianEastern Said pamphlet was written for Non-Anglicans as an explanation about what we believe to other Protestants. The Holy Trinity, for example, is never explicitly stated in scripture. However, the Trinity is incredibly important part of our faith.

@Lepewhi While I do understand the your concern I can only respond by quoting from the Catechism in the Book of Common Prayer: Catechist: What is the outward part or sign of the Lord’s Supper? Answer: Bread and Wine, which the Lord has commanded to be received. Catechist: What is the inward part, or thing signified? Answer: The Body and Blood of Christ, which are verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful in the Lord’s Supper.

You could try St. Paul's Parish on K Street, Washington, DC. They are an Anglo-Catholic Parish.
