I have serious issues with the praxis and theology of the Eastern Orthodox churches. I inquired at one point, but my convictions are thoroughly Protestant.
Moreover, there are none within 100 miles of me.
I'll probably attend the ACNA parish in the nearest city. Anglicans formularies allow for Lutheranism so it's the natural place to go.
If I did go to a tradition like that, I would go Oriental Orthodox. They're closer to the language of the Church Fathers and have a much more plausible theory of their own history.
Now that is a very interesting perspective and one I had not heard before. Thank you for sharing.
I did go to Protestant churches for a number of years. But they were far too inconsistent, too liberal (for me), anti Military (Episcopal in particular) and made light too much of the importance of the God Bearer (Mary) for my liking. That said you have to find your own journey towards the mysteries of God. And I wish you well on that..!
The Episcopal church is so liberal it's not even confessionally Christian lol. I don't blame you for fleeing that. If you aren't familiar with the denominational landscape you can easily find yourself in a radical far left congregation.
ACNA is more conservative and traditional. Mild use of iconography without violating the 2nd Commandment. Some of them have a high liturgy, but the Book of Common Prayer allows for a variety of styles. The one I would be going to is somewhere in the middle.
