#highchurch — Public Fediverse posts

I grew up mostly in the #Episcopalian Church, very #HighChurch, & simultaneously a group called #Shalom, a #nondenominational community that grew directly from #CharismaticCatholic or #CatholicEvangelical movement. Yes, that was a thing. #Catholics, nuns even, playing guitars & speaking in #tongues (which I'd learn much later on can be called #glossolalia; yes, I definitely did do that). So I can't *precisely* call myself an #Exvangelical, but I'm definitely in the same biosphere, so to speak.

This is not about #TheHuntingOfTheSnark, but about the religious background of the author of the #Snark tragicomedy.

My grandfather, Brian Snow, was a #ChurchOfIreland #priest. I don't know enough about his motives and beliefs, and I wish I'd asked. I'll interrogate his four children, my mother and uncles, some point soon, to find out more.

I recall him as fairly #HighChurch, and deeply committed to pastoral work. He was always driving around visiting his parishioners, especially the sick and those in difficulties. He got on really well with his RC local counterparts, and not at all well with his superiors.
