So very glad to have been well taught before entering the Anglican wilderness. Imagine children NOT being taught this? We post it in the event that young people may read or check in--each generation needs to be taught this material. Your Anglican rector won't be disciplined in this thinking--over his head and beyond his past and background. American Episcopalians would rebel at God if so instructed...their big issue is gays. Let us help converted infants in whom there is more hope than these impoverished leaders.
