Sorry re the late reply - I don't get on here that much - there is a book called "What is Anglicanism" by Urban T. Holmes that might be a fair primer (albeit written in the 80's) I also recommend a copy of the Book of Common Prayer and "Dictionary for Episcopalians."

Bishops of the United Methodist Church (the nation's largest mainline Protestant body) endorsing Episcopal Bishop Budde's inaugural sermon at the National Cathedral last week - the Church emerging as a voice of prophetic opposition - I like to see this!

Yes - I quite agree - I have been an active lay-member of the Episcopal Church for north of 25 years btw and full-throatedly support/endorse every word of her message. ;)

Black hole myth busted: they don't suck anything in Many of us look at black holes as cosmic vacuum cleaners: sucking in everything in their vicinity. But it turns out they don't suck at all.

No nation can call itself great when it reneges on international treaties, abandons allies, and allows big-money interests to buy policies, a la carte, that trash environmental laws to protect our water, protect our skies, and protect the future of our planet.
