At the Fourth Ecumenical Council, though rarely cited by historians (but we Orthodox have passed this down orally), the Byzantine Emperor stood before the raging factions and in a loud voice declared: "Now now, boys! No schism games! Let's just all shake hands and play nice. Make up, and share a nice large, warm chalice of shut the fanatic up!" Okay, it loses something in the translation.
Episcopalian-flavored Christian with Anglo-Catholic proclivities and a yearning for social justice.
"When Anglicanism is at its best, its liturgy, its poetry, its music and its life can create a world of wonder in which it is very easy to fall in love with God." -Urban T. Holmes III
O Mary Magdalene, Paschal messenger and Apostle to the Apostles; Thy weeping in the garden hath been turned to joy, and thy myrrh hath become a holy chrism: Pray for us, that we also might encounter and trust in the Risen Christ, who maketh the tomb a bridal chamber for his Church, and hast taken away the sins of the world. Amen.
