Catholic, Evangelical, and Charismatic?

Is this possible?

Yes Virginia, a church can be all of these things!

Anglicanism is a way of following Jesus Christ that brings together the best of the ancient Christian tradition: Catholic, Evangelical, and Charismatic.

As a person from Grand Rapids said, "In most churches you get one of those elements, but Anglicanism seems to be unique in how it blends each of these aspects into one cloth."

Around the country you will find Anglican churches that may lean one way or another (or another), but more often than not Anglican Churches are a unique mix of liturgical worship, spirit filled ministry, and faithful testimony to the person and work of Jesus.

Hello! My name is Mary, and I live in Kalamazoo. A friend from the Stand Firm in Faith forum, directed me to your blog. My family and I moved here in '06, and have not been successful in finding a church we felt at home in. I would appreciate so much being able to worship in an Anglican church here, and look forward to learning more

I do not have a blogger account, so I have to use the anonymous option.

best regards,
Mary

Hello Mary, Welcome!

Things are just beginning to get started, so you're getting in on the ground floor.

There are some other folks from Kalamazoo who are interested in forming a church. You are not alone, it's just hard for folks to find each other.
