Another Amusing Quiz
1: Roman Catholic (100%) Rank Item Percent
2: Anglican/Episcopal/Church of England (84%)
3: Eastern Orthodox (80%)
4: Presbyterian/Reformed (62%)
5: Lutheran (60%)
6: Congregational/United Church of Christ (47%)
7: Baptist (Reformed/Particular/Calvinistic) (30%)
8: Church of Christ/Campbellite (25%)
9: Methodist/Wesleyan/Nazarene (20%)
10: Pentecostal/Charismatic/Assemblies of God (12%)
11: Seventh-Day Adventist (12%)
12: Baptist (non-Calvinistic)/Plymouth Brethren/Fundamentalist (10%)
13: Anabaptist (Mennonite/Quaker etc.) (8%)
No great shock in these results, I suppose. Naturally, the maker of this selector was equating "Anglican" with a more liberal version of my tradition than is found in the diocese of Fort Worth!

I wonder if this will change any after the next 3 years?

I kept answering "not sure." I'd better hie me to a seminary, or a few well-selected books, methinks.

100% Roman Catholic?
Does it mean that TEXANGLICAN is T-"Ex-Anglican"?

Not in the least, Antonio. It just means that the person who created the survey doesn't have traditionalist Anglo-Catholics in mind when he categorizes "Anglicans." I have a good friend who once called me "viscerally orthodox." In terms of the quiz, that seems to equate to RC. But I have no plans to swim the Tiber any time soon. Thankfully I am in a good diocese with a faithful bishop.
I really don't understand why Quakers are grouped with Anabaptists...
I also now am a member of one of the largest and most liberal churches in ECUSA. Hmmm...

What, Randall, you callin' me liberal? :-) By the way, I think that was the most unfairly worded quiz of this sort that I've taken so far. I don't enjoy being pigeonholed!

I don't think any who scored 95% for Eastern Orthodoxy could ever be called too much of a "liberal," my friend. Impressive!
I agree that this is one of the most narrowly worded quizes ever...
who would have only these choices for communion:
"All those who express faith in Jesus Christ should be invited, and no one should be turned away unless he does not identify himself as a Christian.
Those who express faith in Christ and have been baptized should be invited, and church officials should "fence" the table to ensure that no excommunicant or heretic partakes of the elements.
Only those who are members of your own denomination should be invited.
Not sure"
Surely not anyone going to actual Protestant churches that prounounce that All are Welcome, period.
Becky Jo
Becky: exactly. I took particular offence at the word "fence." That was really asking for it! No matter how strongly I might feel about closed or open communion, "fence" is not a word I would use. The author should have known that.
Maybe I should comment to the quiz author instead of complaining here!
