IM Evangelism
Will wonders never cease? I've chatted with a new friend from the UK for a couple of days now, and we got into church stuff today. I told her I was Episcopalian, and she had never heard of that. I witnessed as to what my faith has meant to me in dealing with some health problems both she and I face, without getting preachy, and I think she may just be at a point to investigate finding a church home. My Baptist friends would chide me for not leading her in prayer to accept Jesus Christ; I just don't feel that she's there yet, but I think she may have opened the door! IM-ing is perhaps not the place for deep spiritual conversation.

I'm a product of the Texas Panhandle and now live in way south Texas, 20 miles from the ocean. I'm a music teacher, retired due to health reasons. I've raised beagles for years, but currently only have 1; His name is Webber, after Andrew Lloyd Webber. I have been adopted by a doxie/beagle/terrier/? mix named Poochie. Trying to make HIS name into a musical one brought variations like Puccini (a real opera composer) and Poocherelli. I also have been adopted by 3 feral kitties for whom I pay vet bills. They have attracted 3 more who are too feral to be touched yet.
I am an Episcopalian grown from generations of Methodist roots, and happy to be so. I have a wicked sense of humor, but I'm generally quiet and a bit shy. I have always loved reading and writing, so here I am!

Online theological discussions are very much en vogue. Nothing like having a Baptist toss scripture references at you via IM (from my experience, I know you're ECUSA like me)
What did your IM friend have to say about the C of E in England?
My friend is evidently unchurched. The terms "Anglican" and "Episcopalian" meant nothing to her; She asked if they were Christian.She also had no response to Church of England.
