Should Catholics Attend Ecumenical Bible Study Groups?

I attend a weekly Anglican Bible study with one of my best friends. The people at this church left the Episcopalian church over the ordination of active homosexuals, promotion of gay marriage etc. There are a number of former Catholics there (baptized in childhood but raised Episcopalian/Anglican) and I consider my presence a form of outreach, especially since they are at least open to the Church's teaching on homosexual acts.

The Bible study itself is quite nondenominational - the lady who runs it is very evangelical-oriented and talks about the dangers of "churchianity" etc. - and there have been no arguments (although I happened to be absent the day they went over the verse on Peter the rock, darn it!). Of course, IMHO Anglicanism is one of the least intellectually convincing branches of Christianity, so there is really no danger for me. I think I would convert to Judaism before I would convert to Anglicanism.
