Thank you, Bp. Chris for this podcast. I too grew up Pentecostal who has recently came into Anglicanism. It was the Eucharist that drew me it. Something about that first experience changed the trajectory of my whole life. Even though I had taken communion before, and had even served communion in ministry, there was something about the Anglican practice that told me I was "home" (given the conversation, I know the dangers of that language, but it is the only way I can describe it; really I encountered Jesus in a way I had never experienced before). But I do have a question that has been on my mind since I "discovered" you: in your opinion what is the distinction between Pentecostal and your average Charismatic? For about ten years I've shied away from the label Pentecostal because of the distinction that was taught to me within the denomination I was a part of: the evidence of Spirit baptism is speaking in tongues. But that distinction I do not believe anymore, and since took the label Charismatic. Yet, you and these priest bear the name proudly. I am curious as to your distinction between the two.
Have you guys read 'Take this bread - a radical conversion' by Sara Miles. I'd be interested in what you think.
I haven’t! But you’re not the first person to suggest it, so I need to get my hands on it. Thank you for the prompt.
Thank you for this. What is the difference between magic and true intercessory prayer?
Did you see this?

Thank you for linking this. I may. I may not have seen it. My memory is faint. I will read it shortly.
So am I hearing y'all say we should live *laugh*, love?

Chris,
Not sure where to put this so I’m going to put it right here. Your sermon on friendship with Jesus…
