    Pilgrimage as a disciple of Jesus Christ is a 'lifetime' journey but 'justification' was an act of God that you had become aware of somewhere along the way. Never forget it wherever you may have wound up on the journey and whomever you may have been given by God as companions on the way.

    Welcome. Many here have taken an indirect path to Anglicanism.

    Welcome to the forums.

    You certainly have had a journey.

    What made you take a stop here in Anglicanism and do you believe you will stay.

    Welcome to the community, Tom! I, for one, am attracted to Anglicanism because it is ancient, biblical, and global.

    It's a strange feeling when you realize that 80 million people are worshiping the same way you are
