Shelter in The Storm

I think I may have posted this previously but here it goes again. Here is a list of allegedly "safe" Anglican style worship churches. "Safe" means worshiping with the Book of Common Prayer, are "episcopal" meaning "with bishops" and theologically orthodox, meaning evangelical, Anglo-Catholic or just plain Catholic. Some are charismatic and some have a contemporary music. These churches come from a variety of backgrounds. Here is the list: AANF - Anglican Alliance of North Florida ACC - Anglican Catholic Church ACA - Anglican Church in America AMiA - Anglican Mission in America APA - Anglican Province of America APCK - Anglican Province of Christ the King ACCA - Antiochian Catholic Church in America ACN - Anglican Communion Network AOC - The Antiochian Orthodox Church CEC - Charismatic Episcopal Church CEC - The Christian Episcopal Church CEEC - Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches EMC - The Episcopal Missionary Church GOA - Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America DHC - Diocese of the Holy Cross LCMS - The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod OCA - Orthodox Church in America PNCC - Polish National Catholic Church REC - Reformed Episcopal Church RC - Roman Catholic Church ROCOR - Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia I asked the web site moderator why the Polish National Catholic Church was on the list. I received a gracious response addressed to "Fr. Steve" which I thought was kinda cute. They are Catholic but not Roman Catholic. They have a Prime Bishop, have apolistic sucession, their priests may marry since the early 1920's, and each congregation owns it's own property. The PNCC formed in Scranton, Pa in 1897. Worshiping with them would be the same as worship in a high Anglican Church. Most of the ones I know of use the 1928 BCP. I can not say for all of them. Some may use the 1662. The Polish people in America were behind their becoming organized, and the language used depends upon the nationality of the membership in their area. Over all, they would be a wonderful place to worship and anyone who loves the Anglican style of worship would feel very much at home. I hope that helped explain some about the PNCC, I'm sure if you look at any of the websites listed in the Shelter list, you will probably learn a lot more. Their website is http://www.pncc.org/ it will tell you only slightly more then I have, which is why I recommend a look see at Parish sites. Learn something new every day.
