Exmo Anglo-Catholic Subdeacon in the Anglican Diocese of Edmonton, Anglican Church of Canada, in discernment for Holy Orders and researching early Mormonism and historical memory as a student at The King’s University (opinions my own)
Not really, I just showed up at Church at the beginning of Lent 2022 after some time away getting rid of Mormonism and just loved it out the gate.

It can get worse, in an effort to gender neutralize Hark the Herald Angels Sing, the campus chaplain in Edmonton did such a job, that the day after I had to check if he’d become a Gnostic, Edmonton is great.

The resources are used so badly that for the entirety of ordinary time my regular parish didn’t say either of the ecumenical creeds

It wasn’t but you can always come home, it’s just a tad north

Yes, the 100 billion dollar rainy day fund of a church that shall not be named once again rears its head as a reason that church will probably never die, even while TEC and the like spiral even as faithful servants.

I went to Christ Church YEG for a while, they have a YouTube channel, are affirming, and during my time there I didn’t get any heresies.

Unironically the BCP, but I’m currently making my way through the Explanation of the Articles by A. P. Forbes which is a more reasonable Anglo-Catholic exploration of the articles

This, as well as the trauma from the marriage to Fanny would prevent Emma from admitting Joseph engaged in polygamy for the rest of her life. Not only because he had made her complicit but had psychologically tortured her and threatened her with damnation should she go public or resist.

The second lie they tell is that Emma Smith ever consensually chose wives for Joseph Smith. The only situation even close to this was a negotiation between Emma and Joseph that if she chose two wives, he would stop as a mechanism to stop her opposition in early 1843.

Oliver Cowdery being convinced it was an affair. It also deeply traumatized Emma Smith, having caught Joseph raping their daughter at least twice, the second time as obvious signs of pregnancy has already begun to show themselves.

First, they imply that Fanny Alger was able to consent to her marriage with Joseph Smith. At the time of their marriage she was 15, he was 27, she was also his adopted daughter and worked in the Smith household. The marriage was as far as can be told a purely sexual relationship,

One day I’ll have time to actually sit down with a theology book, though for now I’m content to just be a fairly confessional Anglo-Lutheran

You say this only because you have never been to the McGill Pizzeria, though to be fair it’s about 2 hours north of the border

Mary did, in fact, know, we have two feasts dedicated specifically to her knowing

His humanity strictly defined is absolutely necessary as a matter of Anglican faith (cf. Article IV). However inasmuch as a Vulcan such as Spock is human they are saved by the same mechanism as the rest of us

Always good to know that not all Baptists are heretics condemned by Constantinople II, electric boogaloo
