    Recent convert to Christianity, who has naturally gravitated to the Anglican Church. I am yet unbaptised and am currently working on that glorious day. God willing it will be soon.

    I've slowly been researching Anglicanism and what I see, I like. I adore the Book of Common Prayer, and try to follow it at home as addition to attending church. But, as I was an athiest from an athiest family, I was completely ignorant of Christianity until quite recently, I have therefore been learning from am absolute beginners level and have struggled to grasp Anglicanism because of this sometimes.

    Even so, I like the tradition, apostolic succession, the creeds, the 39 articles and hope everyone here will help me explore them.

    Nice to meet you all, God bless.

    There are a number of knowledgable and devout Anglicans ( in the true sense of Anglican Catholic) here. You will learn much.
