Why I'm not a Presbyterian with a prayer book. Kudos to Alice Linsley for this superb blog article.

If to be Anglican is to be Catholic, which is what Anglicans affirm when they recite the Creed, and what all generations of Anglican divines affirmed, including the Edwardine and early Elizabethan ones, then our priests are sacrificing priests and not just Presbyterian-style "elders."

For those of you who don't know Alice, she was formerly ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church. After returning to the Church's Great Tradition, she resigned her orders and now serves as a laywoman and academic to the Catholic Faith.
