I thought that this would be a great way to  collect all the questions we have to ask our Vicar and his wife to  enlighten us on the traditions and inscrutable ways of the Anglican  Church.

For instance...
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do our priests dress in a garb  that was common amongst the Roman Empire over 2000 years ago?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wny  do we have a liturgical service?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How is the Holy Spirit free to  act and speak within a prescribed service?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do we burn incense  and light candles?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do we spend vast somes of  oney on church  buildings and stained glass?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why does the priest drink and eat  the remains of the sacramental bread and wine?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;
heaps  more please!

Thanks for the enlightenment!

Ladies and gentlemen of cyberspace and beyond; herewith the long anticipated Whangarei Anglican Blog-site! I invite you all - parishioners, cyber-parishioners and guests to converse with one another. Share ideas, experiences of the Divine, recipes, (Angel Cake and Devilled Eggs) social commentary. This blog site is dedicated to serious and even witty conversation but I will try to weed out the offensive. Having said that if there is serious comment expressed offensively I may just censor rather than totally erase.

Pictures and video clips are welcome - if you just e-mail me your pictures and videos or, if they are youtube videos etc. just send me the URL for them.

Let us then explore the mystery of the God-with-us and all that it means to be Christ-friends and thus friends of one another.

Here is a question... If God who "while we were yet sinners" loved us, would He send sinners to be tormented forever in Hell?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4597905416936429043-7967884995212833185?l=whangareianglican.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whangareianglican.blogspot.com/feeds/7967884995212833185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://whangareianglican.blogspot.com/2010/04/ladies-and-gentlemen-of-cyberspace-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4597905416936429043/posts/default/7967884995212833185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4597905416936429043/posts/default/7967884995212833185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whangareianglican.blogspot.com/2010/04/ladies-and-gentlemen-of-cyberspace-and.html' title=''/><author><name>Bob the Website Builder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01169732480298006799</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
