I am sorry, is anybody anywhere actually providing a basic course of Metaphysics as a real school discipline, like in an elementary school? I need a very elementary study guide to the basics of Metaphysics and metaphysical thinking (as opposed to dialectical or positivist thinking), in the shape of something like an ordinary school study-book (imagine a course-book on Arithmetic or, for instance, Music, or Logic in the elementary school). I mean, just a set of rules or introduction to specific methods, inherent for this discipline, which provide a new skill for the disciple and enable to solve new problems. (Most of all I am interested in the classical Christian Metaphysics of Middle Ages, as a specific scientific and cognitive method). Can anyone advise something like this? Because everything I found on the net seems to be either not differentiating Metaphysics from all other Philosophy, or just be a bunch of babble. Thank you in advance. 195.50.1.122 (talk) 11:08, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
This page is getting pretty long and some edits date back to the early 2000s. I propose to set up automatic archiving of this page some time next week unless anyone objects to that here. Dabbler (talk) 15:18, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Actually the home page of the Anglican website does now say 85m but it says 80m in some of the sub pages like the directory. http://www.anglicancommunion.org/index.cfm Presumably they are updating it or something? --BozMo talk 14:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
I see we have another IP reverting Roman Catholic to Catholic. I think this has been discussed to death before but I guess it is worth pointing out that the Vatican website uses "Roman Catholic Church" etc when it is engaged in ecumenical discussions, perhaps because there is a preparedness to set aside what the Vatican believes technically correct for the sake of clarity when discussion includes that of other parts of the church. I am sure you can use Google too but see for example where the official "ANGLICAN - ROMAN CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION" uses pretty much the exact wording you are objecting to, in a council jointly formed between the two Churches. --BozMo talk 17:44, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
The Provinces section should mention the Church of England Provinces of Canterbury and York within the country England, with links. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 10:16, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Does not demonstrate WP:GNG as written and relies too heavily on a single source. giso6150 (talk) 05:10, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
In my view the last amendment to the lead is not an improvement; the previous version is more informative.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 22:50, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
"Each independent church has its own doctrine and liturgy, aligned in most cases on that of the Church of England; and each church has its own legislative process and overall episcopal polity, under the leadership of a local primate."
This is what the clergy-members of, for example, the Anglican Church of Canada, who have been to grad school say, but that does not make it true. If one looks at the diocesan and provincial constitutions of the Anglican Church in Canada, one tends to find that the defining factor of the parish/diocese is that it be in communion with the See of Canterbury. The idea that these are "independent" churches is mostly something cooked up due to, in my view, Episcopalian influence, as though every particular/national church in the communion were basically as independent as the traitorous episcopalians who rebelled against God's anointed sovereign all those years ago. MDiv. degrees tend to only go to _very_ ignorant socialist types in Canada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:7A31:4B00:905E:78F4:81E9:C28E (talk) 22:44, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
