In Toledo we have an increase in men joining the priesthood and women entering a local monestary. In the chaos of our world episcopal churches have the sanity of deep roots and traditions, amazing liturgy, historical room for different points of view, appreciation of the arts and mystery. I'm a Baptist minister. We've got coffee!

Hi. You wrote "Repealed the filioque clause added to the Nicene Creed." I'd someone has time could you explain that? Why does Dr. Bird include that in the list. Thanks

Wish there was an edit function so that I could correct typos 😁

Perhaps repealing the filioque clause would appeal to the Eastern Orthodox and make Roman Catholicism more attractive to them?

Especially curious as yesterday’s post listed Jesus as the “Giver of the Spirit.” Color me confused.

I had the same question, I'm not sure what the problem is.

I have so many wonderful Catholic Jesus following friends. My only wish is that we could share the Table.

I grew up RCC! I still appreciate a lot of it. Got a brother in the SSPX too...

I haven’t noticed converts as such, but Protestants leaning in a Catholic direction, certainly. I do empathise. As a past Catholic, your five points for improvement resonate, but on the flipside, I think they deal with mystery better. Protestants seem such systemisers, and I really need to be drawn away from that sometimes.
