Stupid Questions I Should Know the Answers To...


1. Do Episcopals go to confession? No, but.... This is a good example of the Anglican maxim: "all may; none must." Different from so many other aspects of our Tradition, this sacrament has the potential for restoring one who may be in trouble to wholeness. In such an instance, "all may, none must" might be expanded to "some should". Consider embracing this sacramental encounter with the forgiving Christ when you find you have wandered far from the communion of love given freely in Christ. It might be an opportunity to meet the Risen Christ and receive the Spirit's gifts in a unique and personal way, especially where healing and re-ordering of one's life seems timely.

2. What is castor sugar? Castor or caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar in Britain, so named because the grains are small enough to fit though a sugar "caster" or sprinkler. It is sold as "superfine" sugar in the United States.
