Greetings all

[revsmith]

I am a retired Anglican priest who converted to the LDS church six months ago. My wife, a life long member, and I were struggling and I prayed daily for guidance. My wife suggested that I go to her church with her one Sunday when I wasn't needed to help at the local CAC church. The people I met were charming, and I had never had a congregation that was as devoted to actually living the gospel as the Mormons I met seemed to be. I agreed, with skepticism, to meet with the missionaries. Almost at once the troubles that were besting us began to resolve. I promised the Lord that if our biggest trial resolved I would take it as the sign I had been praying for. Lo and behold as the Missionaries asked I prayed over the truth of the Book of Mormon and the prophesy of Joseph Smith. I felt a swelling in my heart that it was true, and upon resolving the last of our difficulties were dealt with. I was baptized a month later (and defrocked a week after that - can't blame them)

Life has been blessed and joyful ever since.

Welcome to lds.net!

Thank you for sharing your testimony.

What a story! Though a Mormon Anglican priest might have made for some interesting meetings...

I remember reading about a UCC minister who converted to the Nation of Islam. Unlike you, he was surprised that the UCC would not permit dual membership. :-)
