Ask the Geeky Girls -
Rebecca (rastrauss) from Michigan asks:
I also was interested in knowing about Dr. Hubs ministry and how your religion differs from Church of England or is it the same?

We mention: The Accidental Anglican: The Surprising Appeal of the Liturgical Church by Todd D. Hunter & Evangelicals on the Canterbury Trail: Why Evangelicals Are Attracted to the Liturgical Church by Robert Webber
