They know my position and they have no problem with me as a Christian. My vicar warns me to be careful of fundamentalists and atheists who will say I'm not a Christian. Only my church has the right to declare if I'm a communicant of the church. Atheists, non-conformists and even other Anglicans have no right or jurisdiction over my diocese.
I find this part really interesting. Do you not have a right to declare yourself any of these?
I'm no one special and I treat everyone the best I possibly can, but to you believer, despite my acts, I am condemned to hell.
