    As a person who has bounced back and forth from a Roman Catholic church and an Episcopal church and finally found an ACNA conservative Anglican church in town I really appreciate this. It is very informative but also entertaining and easy to listen too. God Bless you guys!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Purgatory and Whatnot
Q: Beckett Childress asks for an Anglican and Lutheran view on Purgatory.
Anglicans and Lutherans generally emphasize justification by faith and Christ's atonement, arguing there is no scriptural warrant for purgatory and that believers are declared righteous by faith alone, though some discuss purgation as a potential metaphorical purification in the life to come.
What do You Like About Other Protestant Denominations?
Q: What is your favorite of every Protestant denomination, including Anglicanism?
Ricky explains that, among traditions, Anglicanism appeals most because of its emphasis on prayer, liturgy, and the balance between doctrine and beauty in worship, as expressed through the Book of Common Prayer, while he respects the strengths of other traditions like Lutheran pastoral care and Methodist holiness.
Women's Ordination
Q: Hello, Father Ricky, trying to convince my dad, who's egalitarian, that women being priests isn't biblical. What's a good verse to cite for this?
They discuss that the biblical case against women's ordination is strongest when starting from creation (Genesis) and the priesthood details in Exodus and Leviticus, and they reference 1 Timothy 2:11-14 as a key verse, arguing the passage sets universal norms rather than being limited to specific times or communities.
Q and A with Father Ricky
Q: How does beliefs about saints avoid idolatry?
Father Ricky argues that veneration of saints can be misunderstood and emphasizes that while saints pray for us, we should pray directly to God.
Q and A with Father Ricky
Q: Who is the Church according to St. Augustine's writings?
Father Ricky states that the church is the invisible body that will be revealed, consisting of both believers and sinners, and rejects the claims of no salvation outside the institutional church.
