My dad's family has Mormon backgrounds, one of whom left a family tree going back to 1653 when the family came to New Amsterdam from Holland. So fun to know this stuff.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing. Hannah sounds like an amazing woman.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-5708347903791033402007-07-23T22:23:00.000-04:002007-07-23T22:23:00.000-04:00What a cool post!

When my husband and I joined the church I remember that he took communion, but I did not, until Easter. On Easter Day I suddenly felt ready to recieve communion and went up to the altar rail. I clearly felt that my baptism was "right." The priest, without batting an eye, gave me communion. Afterward he spoke with me, asking me about my baptism. I readily responded that I was baptized with full immersion, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. I know. Because I remember it clearly. My uncle, my mothers brother, baptized me. It was an awesome experience. <BR/><BR/>Well the priest said, "Oh, well, fine, you were baptized in the trinty, that's what matters." And so my baptism counted. But my confirmation in the LDS church was not "good enough," unlike my husband's confirmation in the RC church. As it turns out the ECUSA accepts confirmation in RC and Lutheran...members who move from those two to ECUSA are "recieved" not "Confirmed"...all others have to be "Confirmed." It has to do with Apostolic Succession and other ancient sources of authority...Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-79642462924519412052007-07-23T21:37:00.000-04:002007-07-23T21:37:00.000-04:00what a rich and beautiful history... how incredibl...what a rich and beautiful history... how incredible to know the story, keep it alive & follow the mystery of how Hannah's story has helped shape your story... thanks for sharing!Hot Cup Lutheranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125425492709186198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-52385473943418129802007-07-23T21:35:00.000-04:002007-07-23T21:35:00.000-04:00What an impressive ancestor you have!

I also didn't know there were LDS Mormons in England at that time. I'm impressed that the Episcopal Church recognized your baptism, too. I learned a lot in this post.
