There’s a lot of talk of restructuring and revisioning in the church. Â Conversations are happening in many places at many levels. Â But why should the church survive? Â Any thought of “re” anything supposes something good that must be preserved. Â What is that?
Today we continue a three-part BLOGFORCE challenge about the church.  Two weeks ago, the challenge was, “Why the Church?”, meaning the “small c” catholic church.  This week, the challenge is, “Why Anglicanism?”  Why the particular branch of the catholic church that the Episcopal Church is part of?  In two weeks, we will ask the question, “Why the Episcopal Church?”

How do I participate in the Blogforce?
Simply blog your answer on your own site, then:
1. Paste the code you can find here at the bottom of your post – note that it is code so you will probably need to switch to HTML view in your blog editor. It should look like this on your blog when posted or previewed:
2. Send the permanent link and a 120 word or less abstract to blogforce@acts8moment.org. Â This should be done by no later than 5PM Central Time on Sunday. Â On Monday, the abstracts will be re-posted with links. Â At that point, the provided code will point to the round-up page instead of here.
The editorial board of Acts8 reserves the right to decline submissions that are deemed offensive or do not uphold the Guiding Principles.
Look during the week for more information on our next Acts8 tweetchat, which is scheduled for Monday, September 8th at 9PM EDT using #acts8tc
