Congrats! You're well on the right track in the right direction. I was baptized high church and made the final step to Rome in high school. 25 years ago and never regretted a day of it.
I join the other comments and wish you every joy in our wonderful Catholic faith. May our Lord and his blessed Mother pray for you as you grow in the faith.
I'm all for the high church stuff and tradition but what you said about Episcopalians that they're in all kinds of turmoil isn't true. It's the Anglican break aways in the U.S. (a small minority of anti-gay Episcoplians) that are actually in turmoil. The rest of the Episcopal Church is mainline. Do yourself a favor and distance yourself from these fanatics.
A true Anglican Catholic would allow more liberal and low church opinions to exist within the Anglican Communion, and see that it is our solidarity as Anglicans in communion with the Most Rev. Archbishop of Canterbury which unites us as a Universal (Catholic) Church. You and I may be High Church Anglo-Catholics, but to be Anglican - by definition - we simply cannot reject Low Churchmen and evangelicals. It compromises the Anglican belief in the “via media” that seeks to unite all Christians.
So you are not really an Anglican Catholic, in my opinion. You seem to me a Protestant of sorts, acting against the Anglican Catholic tradition which can only be expressed in communion with the Church of England, and the Apostolic successor to the Universal Church within the Anglican tradition, the Archbishop of Canterbury. A Protestant who happens to be High Church and holds traditional beliefs, but is essentially opposed to the Tradition that legitimises the Church by separating from it.
The schismatic sects like the ACC are not solving the turmoil in the Episcopal Church, they’re creating it, by demanding a fundamental Change in Anglicanism - that we no longer be open to worshiping together, even though we disagree on some points of faith and worship, but that we must instead conform to ONE expression of faith and ONE rigid formula for worship.
The thing about the Episcopal church is everyone is not worshiping together: Everyone is worshiping their own God, or no God, or themselves or whatever they happen to believe. This is why historical Christianity - which supersedes any particular ideas of supercilious upper class folk whose only identity is to look down on people who refuse to sway - has always taught the "one faith once delivered to the apostles."
Churches range from High Church AC to low church evangelical. I am blessed to have found a High Church-oriented congregation that is an EPISCOPAL church, continuing in the rich tradition of the Anglican Communion, which is (for a true Anglo-Catholic) the legitimate expression of the Anglican faith.
As a High Churchman and (somewhat) Anglo-Catholic in the Episcopal Church, it is my Catholic convictions and deep faith in tradition that keep me in the Episcopal Church. There is indeed a bit of disagreement in the Episcopal Church, but of course, that isn’t evident in Sunday worship.
My stated faith is Mormonism (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) sometimes called Protestant, many times in its own restorationist category. My familial religious heritage is The Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) and the Church of England (Anglican/Episcopal). I was exploring my religious heritage and have been looking at episcopal services and no offense it looks frightening. The people look possessed and I can't ever figure out what they're supposed to be doing. I'd like to observe.
@JohnRhysMusician You follow a faith that was made up in the 1800s how sad.."Wherever Jesus is ther is the Catholic church" - St Ignatius 88 A.D- You know Ignatius the understudy of John the apostle who was ordained by Peter in Antioch..you know where they where first called Christians.. You know the baby who was blessed by Jesus in the gosple..who was marytered in Rome for the faith..taught face to face by the apsotles...O wait you don't know becaues you follow a faith made up in the 1800s
@gtepp031387 I believe that the Catholic church is the original Christian church, but that it has fallen. I believe that my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is the restored faith of Jesus Christ. My church also uses biblical scriptures. I'm sure you wouldn't accuse some protestant faiths, many of which are younger than my own church of being unchristian.
@JohnRhysMusician sry my friend.."I will build my church and the gates of hell WILL NEVER prevail against it"- Jesus the Christ...would you care to point out to me a date of the falling of the church..or where and when the council of the gods conveined..as the book of Mormon teaches...or please which plante was god born on again..isn't it Kolab..get out of here with your heretical false man made teahing that was invented by a false phrophet in the 1800s
@JohnRhysMusician And yes there is no such thing as a full christian that is not Catholic..I say to you even Mormon that you are a partiual Catholic becaues you have some of the truth that comes from the church(I.E the bible that was cannonized in 393 A.D. by Catholic council) but as you do not and have not accept all the truth that comes from the church..you are a partiaul christian and a partiual catholic..that is not in full communion with the church
@gtepp031387 I don't believe that the Catholic Church holds the true priesthood. I believe that it fell into apostasy, and I believe that Joseph Smith was chosen by God to restore the Priesthood to man.
@JohnRhysMusician Joseph smith is a co-worker of satan that taught that blacks are the seed of the devil..there are many gods..that god was born on a planet..and as we are god once was and as god is we can become..basically he invented a faith that was never heard of practised or believed ..by any believer for the first 1800 years of the church..basically he preaches another gosple and we know what St paul told us about that dont we? again the church could NEVER FALL Jesus himself testifies this
@JohnRhysMusician who to believe Jesus who said the church would NEVER fall..or some quack 1800 years later that taught things no believer had ever heard of...humm tough one...Yeah i think i'll side with my LORD thank you
@JohnRhysMusician Christ Himself said that He would be with the Church "to the consumation of the world". To be Mormon, you have to believe that Christ is wrong.
Sorry to burst your bubble like that, but Joseph Smith was a lunatic who wanted to sleep with as many women as possible.
Not all Catholics are under the Pope of Rome. These include Anglican Catholics , Polish National Catholics and Old Catholics. Roman Catholics are under the authority of the Pope of Rome.
@roryseath There is no such thing as Catholic(universal Christian church) that doesn't submit to the chair of Peter..why you ask well..."This is the faith of the fathers! This is the faith of the Apostles! So we all believe! thus the orthodox(correct teaching) believe! Anathema(cursed) to him who does not thus believe! Peter has spoken thus through Leo(the Pope)! . . . This is the true faith!'" (Acts of the Council, session 2 [A.D. 451]). That is ecumentical council speaking so yeah
@roryseath "For if where two or three are gathered together in His name He has said that there He is in the midst of them, must He not have been much more particularly present with 520 priests, who preferred the spread of knowledge concerning Him ...Of whom you were Chief, as Head to the members, showing your good will." -- Chalcedon to Pope Leo (Repletum est Gaudio), November 451 ...again ecumentical(united christian) council
"I follow no leader but Christ and join in communion with none but your blessedness [Pope Damasus I], that is, with the chair of Peter. I know that this is the rock on which the Church has been built. Whoever eats the Lamb outside this house is profane. Anyone who is not in the ark of Noah will perish when the flood prevails" (Letters 15:2 [A.D. 396]).
"There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering" (Letters 43[40]:5 [A.D. 253]).
High-church has the best-stuff.....let people know this....well if yer not under the Popes authority,then you probably don't hate gay-people. God is LOVE not Hate,GOD BLESS YOU
Hello redneckmarine87,I found your video very interesting. I am an Anglican myself.. Was brought up Roman Catholic, but since the age of 19, i have been with the schimatic betrayers. lol
I would love to hear more about your journey to a Sacramental church. email me at phillkim@sympatico.ca
The ACC and the Episcapol church are all part of the same church. One uses incense and other ceremony the other it is less so. Here in the UK they would all be seen as anglican although some of the extreme anglo catholics will not accept a female priest. How it will be if we go for female bishops we will have to see.
At least you are now free from the bigotry that your former church preaches. In anglicanism all are welcome at Gods table.
Did you hear that 5 Anglican Bishops are changing to the See of Rome? I enjoy the ACC and visited one here in Akron, Ohio. Keep studying Church history and you'll see you have made the right choice. ALSO the ACC is VERY CLOSE To coming into communion with Rome. Visit an Eastern Orthodox church sometime. They are VERY BEAUTIFUL as well. I have a video slide show from some pics from my family's church activities. Don't believe the haters :)
Brothers of the catholic faith I can't stand these blasphemers say that hitler loveed catholic people he killed us like the Jewish and don't be mean to Jewish people the lord was Jewish we should respect that
I too was a Southern Baptist, and moved on to the Anglican Catholic Church. God bless you on your New Christian Life. Welcome to the One Holy Catholic Church!
The Mormon, Jahova Witness and Scientologist leaders are high level Freemason. So I realized that Joseph Smith, Charels Russel & L. Ron Hubbard are initiated deeply into Masonic Cult. Anton LeVay is a high priest of Satan and also a high level Freemason.

The Catholic Church depicted Virgin Mary and Jesus as a Hermaphroditus, was an immortal son of Hermes through Aphrodite. He was changed into an androgynous being, a creature of both sexes, when the gods literally granted the nymph Salmacis' wish, that she and Hermaphroditus were never separation. Then you have the Jesuits who planned all the world wars. Then you have cia,fbi,sis,siv,m6, kgb, oss, ss, mafia working for them as a knight of malta. Go figure that out smart boy!
@redneckmarine87 "Red neck" that"s a funny screen name a proper Bigot Southern Catholic boy who is a sheep and been brainwashed all his life. Go read Morals and Dogma it's by Albert Pike which is a 33rd Freemason Scottish Rites and he is the one who made the Knights of Ku Klux Klan. Your dogmatic catholic ways been murdering inquestion millions of people world wide with wars and even raping kids by Priest. Hitler love Catholic and shook their hands.
I want to say to ceetboy- can you spell C R O C K?
Anyway, as one redneck Anglo Catholic to another welcome to the fold but remember Catholic does not mean Roman in the sense it is commonly used today:
'Anglicanism, rightly taught, posits that "Catholic" and "Protestant" are not opposites but rather a means to an end: to be rightly Catholic one must be Pro-Testament.
The English Reformation was 'Pro-testant' in that it restored Catholicism from accrued un-biblical Roman doctrines and resisted the efforts of Continental Reformers to strip away doctrines held by the early Church"
St Paul converted two Britons, Linus and Claudia (see 2 Tim 4:21) who were the children of Caractacus a British Chieftain conquered by the Legions and sent back to rule as a rep of Imperial Rome while his children were held hostage in Rome. It is likely Paul converting them was asked to by them to visit their father in Briton. Paul was known (Clement 1 refers to Paul's traveling to the 'western boundry of the Empire known to be Briton) to have traveled there shortly after his stay in Rome.
The Celtic/Scotic/British Church was at at Arles and also referred to by Athanasius as being free of the Arian Heresy long before Augustine showed up in Kent.
As someone who was raised in the post-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church, I always laugh when people equate "Catholic" with "high church". I didn't know what decent liturgical music was until I started working as a chorister for hire in Episcopal churches. For a great book on the subject, check out "Why Catholics Can't Sing: The Culture of Catholicism and the Triumph of Bad Taste" by Thomas Day.
@mercjoe72 I think what he means is that Southern Baptists were more mainline and less fire and brimstone. In other words; Southern Baptists used to be more liturgical, had responsive readings, sang with traditional hymns using pipe organ music, and had a degree of formality which was not as ritualistic as the Roman Catholic Church, the Episcopal (Anglican) Church, nor even the Lutherans, but closer to something like the Presbyterians and Methodists without the infant baptism.
Congratulations are finding your way to the catholic faith! Nothing pleases me more than when Christians come to know the high churches; whichever one you end up choosing. I don't know as much as I would like about the Episcopal church, however; are not Anglo-Catholics in the United States part of it?
Excellent! I'm with you 100% redneckmarine87. Evangelical background, joining the ACC, after a stint in Orthodoxy.
The Continuing Anglican churches are the Orthodoxy of the West, under her proper bishops, and not a bunch of Byzantine ones who very well may give the Western Rite the old heave ho at some point in the future.
The fact that this was Lee's church was also a draw for me.
Welcome to the Anglican Catholic Church! May God richly bless you and may you bring many others to Christ and His Holy Church. Your brother in the Faith, Fr. Lawrence.
hello there,mine journey is the other way round,i used to love the anglo catholic, church,but could not go for unscriptual baby tbaptism and many others things, the apostacy with interfaith etc
I am roman Catholic Had opputunity to visit St. Stephens . Athens, Georgia . I think the mass was beutiful Reminds me when i was altar boy for the latin mass. I am thinking on joining this church.
I am with the Anglican Province of Christ the King myself. The one thing I disagree with you about is when you say that the Anglican Catholic Church is not "Protestant." They may be closer to "catholicism" than the mainline Episcopal Church; but the ACC, APCK, UECNA, " are not under the authority of the Pope. You can say that people like us are as close as we can be toward "Catholicism" without actually being Catholic, or that we are the most "Catholic" of all Protestant traditions.
Welcome to the ACC. I joined the ACC many years ago, and have never regretted it. As you mentioned, it is a good church for educated, thinking Christians who value history and tradition.
@Dave5402 Europe's Protestant traditions (and maybe even some within the more evangelical scope of things) tend to be liturgically higher perhaps than many in the American Protestant Churches. One thing I noticed between British Methdodism & American Methodisim would be that the British Methodist Church tend to be closer liturgically to Anglicanism than their American counterpart. In the US, a Methodist Minister wearing a collar confuses people as if it is out of character when it should not be.
Congrats on your conversion! It seems whenever people study history and theology they eventually realize that high churches are the way to go. All those rites and ceremonies are there for a reason! Nothing can be more biblical. As a Roman Catholic to an Anglican Catholic I would personally like to welcome you to the "high church side". :-D
@redneckmarine87 May the grace of God and the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you always my Brother in Christ.
Oh boy do I feel dumb. I thought that Anglican mean's Episcopal. Then I think of the church of
England. I never knew that their was such a thing as a Anglican Catholic. Thank you for the
information. I still have a lot to learn about the many different churches out there.

Where the vicor of christ is, there is the church. Where the vicor of christ is not, there is not the church.

I am with the Anglican Province of Christ the King myself. The one thing I disagree with you about is when you say that the Anglican Catholic Church is not "Protestant." They may be closer to "catholicism" than the mainline Episcopal Church; but the ACC, APCK, UECNA, " are not under the authority of the Pope. You can say that people like us are as close as we can be toward "Catholicism" without actually being Catholic, or that we are the most "Catholic" of all Protestant traditions.

He didn't say Roman Catholic. There's a difference.

Welcome to the ACC. I joined the ACC many years ago, and have never regretted it. As you mentioned, it is a good church for educated, thinking Christians who value history and tradition.

Welcome! I'm a Roman Catholic. Keep yourself grounded in the Blessed Sacrament (Eucharist) who is Christ Jesus Himself.

Could you go into more detail about it, and what your slight disagreements were with other denominations

I'm a Fundamental Baptist from Ireland. Could you please tell what's the "old stuff?" that baptists used to do that's not much around anymore?
BTW: no harm intended by this comment, if you have joined the Anglican Commuinion, please don't lose touch with god, keep reading your bible!

@Dave5402 Europe's Protestant traditions (and maybe even some within the more evangelical scope of things) tend to be liturgically higher perhaps than many in the American Protestant Churches. One thing I noticed between British Methdodism & American Methodisim would be that the British Methodist Church tend to be closer liturgically to Anglicanism than their American counterpart. In the US, a Methodist Minister wearing a collar confuses people as if it is out of character when it should not be.

Congrats on your conversion! It seems whenever people study history and theology they eventually realize that high churches are the way to go. All those rites and ceremonies are there for a reason! Nothing can be more biblical. As a Roman Catholic to an Anglican Catholic I would personally like to welcome you to the "high church side". :-D
