What we believe
We are an eclectic bunch whose beliefs both span and include the range of beliefs attributable to both Catholics and Anglicans, individually and collectively.
A stranger in our midst probably could not tell what we are.
We actually like both His Holiness, the Pope and Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.
And we get along just fine with most all of the folks who visit us.
We leave controversial issues up to the conscience of the person in the position of having to make the call -- and who then has to live with it. Basically, that likens us to Libertarian Freemasons, if you will. (That should offend both equally.)
If you basically belong to some religious traditions but are uncomfortable with some of its tenets, this is the place for you. You will find a lot of company here, and a lot of sympathy too. That's what makes the whole thing work.
