I know exactly how you feel -- we were in the same boat when we left ECUSA and were deprived of the benefit of the Sacraments for WAY too long.

I think I have a solution for you that may be the best of all possible worlds. Since you're in D-FW, how close are you to Arlington? (it's about halfway in between, isn't it?)

There is an Anglican Use Rite church there under the Pastoral Provision -- in other words, the entire parish left the Episcopal Church and joined the Catholic Church, but was able to continue using the Book of Common Prayer (iirc, 1662) with slight amendments to conform to Catholic doctrine.

Parish of St. Mary the Virgin

I have seen a video of a service from another Anglican Use parish (Our Lady of Walsingham, Houston), and I think you will be very pleased indeed, especially if you prefer the Old Prayer Book to the new.

I’m in Plano so Arlington is quite a way. Christ Church in Plano has already broken with ECUSA so there is a good possibility I will try there. One of the reasons I’m hesitating is because my son is being married in a few months and I don’t want to do anything to upset him or my future DIL. Time enough after the wedding to lay this other news on him. He isn’t having the struggle I am. I suspect because he has different social views than I do, being younger and more liberal - socially, not politically, thank goodness. He’s still a staunch conservative politically.
