“If I may ask .... what denomination are you?”
Anglo-Baptist.
:)
Baptized Anglican in a Baptist church (because they seem the most stalwart in the preservation and promotion of the Gospel).
The various versions of Anglicanism are very structured and carefully defined. In terms of the hierarchical organization, you can't just pick and choose which rules you want to follow. If you're going to claim priestly authority within an Anglican diocese, you're bound to follow the rules set by the diocesan bishop. You are free to leave -- but you cannot take your old titles with you, because they are conferred to you by the bishop.
To do so, is to be guilty of the same thing about which we are (rightly) upset with the liberals for doing.
