A New Experience

My wife and I visited an Anglican Church today (St. Alban's Episcopal Church). This was a neat experience, although at times, we were a little lost as to precisely where the service was in the liturgy. This was not a new experience for my wife, she had actually visited an Episcopal church before. I on the other hand have not. I loved the liturgy, but was not quite sure about what was going on during the Eucharist. When I say 'going on' I mean the doctrine behind the Anglican Eucharist. I was told that Anglicans do not hold to the Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation, but I am not sure what their theology of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper actually is (something to research).

My wife and I were both raised Southern Baptist, but as we grew theologically we slowly developed more toward Presbyterianism (PCA). We are currently adrift as far as a church home and have been searching for the last month or more.

Of course, there are specific theologies we want in a church, but just as much we want to find a place where we can both serve. We have always been active participants in all the other churches where we have been members. Anyway, while we will probably not attend St. Alban's again, I did enjoy the experience and the service.
