The preached Word of Scripture and the reception of the Living Word via the Sacrament of the Eucharist are co-equally the centrepiece of Divine Liturgy and the Lord’s Day worship. To uplift one above the other is to neglect the command of Christ and to cause unbiblical division.

If done right, Anglicanism provides all the aesthetics needed that those going to Rome and the East are seeking. It is deeply experiential, robustly liturgical, it is sacred and sacramental. It has strong focus on catechesis. All of this while maintaining a Protestant systematic.

The Council of Trent was not an ecumenical council and therefore is canonically speaking not a binding of nor a historical representation of the church catholic. It was a schismatic dividing of the western church in which unity was not sought but rather line-toeing enforced.

This is Anglicanism. This is why I fell in love with her vision of the catholic church. It has brought a balm to my searching soul. It took my unhealthy classicism and worked in it a deep romanticism. It became a faith not only in my head, but in my heart, pouring from my hands

I’ve begun wearing my cassock daily. With the amount of interactions I have, I’m surprised clergy have shied away from this practice. Becoming recognizable in public has been one of the best moves. The old ways are truly the best ways.

Pull this immediately Zondervan and find out who let this through and fire them. There are no contradictions in the Word of God and if you believe so then you do not believe that is inerrant and inspired.
The four Gospels tell the same story, but there are differences—even contradictions.
It’s often why skeptics don't find the Gospels credible or reliable.
In his new book, JESUS, CONTRADICTED, Michael Licona show how the genre of ancient biography explains these differences:

Hey Anglican and Anglican adjacent friends. I’d just like to announce that my Anglicanism is no longer in exile and wandering. My family was welcomed into the local ANiC parish and we are officially a part of the ACNA. Talks to be held this week in how I can actively serve here.

“The proliferation of armchair theologians is a lack of piety. I am more educated than my ancestors, but I am certain that my mother and grandmothers far surpassed me in piety, devotion, faith, and wisdom. Our culture is coarse. The fear of God is absent from public discourse."

If you’re Anglican, be Anglican. If we wanted a generic Evangelical experience we would go to a Baptist church. Anglicans are constantly trying to be what they aren’t or are ashamed and apologizing for what they are. It’s tiring.

There is a great shifting in protestantism to liturgical, orthodox, catholic, creedal, sacramental churches, and I am here for it . May God restore us to those deep truths of this glorious and historical faith, washing away apathy and modernity.

We trained their clergy, took Muslim converts when the Orthodox churches were too afraid to trust their conversions. We were granted land to build churches after decades of charitable work by the Turks. We have a shared mission of unity that's been severed by online talking heads
Orthodox converts will happily bash Anglicans, even though we joyfully translated the books that led you to your tradition:)

Unpopular opinion. No one should be allowed to receive the Lord's Supper without catechism and confirmation or being desirous of and awaiting for it. Presbyterians, Dutch Reformed, Orthodox, Roman, all require it before participation. You know who don't? Baptists.

To thee all angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein.
To thee cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry,

Singing songs like, "I have Decided to Follow Jesus" is actually completely Calvinistic/Reformed. God changes our nature, in order that we may desire Him, therefore we choose Him, because He first chose us. "No turning back" is perfectly in line with Perseverance of the Saints.

I was once told that I was “too high church” for expecting Anglican priests to, by minimum, wear choir dress, especially while administering the Eucharist.
Since when is the minimum too much to expect?

My hot take:
If your congregation isn’t reading the Word together, reciting the Creeds together, taking Communion often, being offered public confession and absolution (assurance of pardon), being given Law and Gospel, You’re not in a healthy, catholic, orthodox, reformed church

Article 28 of the 39 Articles of Religion does not inhibit the reception of the Body and Blood of Christ as truly and bodily being received. It opposes the capernetic sense in which these are thought to transpire via Roman systematics. This is evidenced by the writer of 28

I will continue to say this, as an ex-Pentecostal minister, charismaticism in any modernistic flavouring or reinterpretation, is not, I repeat not, a valid expression of the Anglican faith. If you want to be Irenic as a Pentecostal, that’s fine, you just are not Anglican.
I see everybody talking about how the new ACNA archbishop is pro-WO (yawn) and nobody taking about the fact that whatever this is can be found on his parish’s website

I don't think that @ivpress @ivpacademic knew how big their BCP 1662 IE would be nor that it would cuase a massive resurgence of daily prayer book usage, even in those from traditions without one. Now we just need a leather edition, slightly larger with at least 5 ribbon markers.

The 1662 IE Book of Common Prayer team just released a condensed morning and evening prayer for family devotion, and I did it with Aubrey (2 1/2) tonight.
She repeated almost the whole thing with me, doing the responsive reading, Lord’s Prayer, and all.
My heart is aglow.

A church without a high view of the Sacraments is a church that doubts what Christ has done for us, is doing with us, and will complete in us. It is a neutered and powerless place to be. Kyrie Eleison.

I'm truly tired of having to pretending that Anglicanism is a choose your own adventure book. Yes, it's broad. Yes, it's via media. Yes, it's evangelical. None of those monikers can hold what has been allowed to subsist within the tradition as acceptable "dual integrities".

That's not the issue here, the issue is your lack of respectful communication to people inquiring about the prayer book. This is not a personal account, it is a professional one for a highly regarded liturgical device of our tradition. Calling a question "Ignoramus" doesn't help.

Women's ordination will kill the Anglican Diocese of Canada in its infancy. The ADoC has simply become that "not gay" version of the Anglican Church of Canada. For men looking to ordain or question diocesan stability. The UECNA is in Canada and we don't possess these issues.

If you don’t uphold the True Presence of Jesus in your Eucharist, if you don’t believe He is truly present in the bread and wine as body and blood, if you don’t believe it offers both grace and forgiveness of sins to those who receive in faith, you have a snack, not the Supper.

Anglicans are a people of devotion and prayer, both private and public. A tradition and expression of Christianity that prays fervently, often, and with complete assurance that the Father hears our every petition, because of Jesus Christ, who is forever mediating on our behalf.

High Church Protestant Anglicanism is possible without swimming the river to Rome or LARPing, it's called Mercersburg Theology. It's a unionist system that builds a Lutheran/Anglican bridge. Strausberg is the answer here.

Anglicanism is the simultaneous grasp of both rigorous scholasticism and the simple pursuit of the beautiful.
We dig deep, but do not exert ourselves too far
We build towards the heavens, but do not attempt addition to them
It is a Christianity of the head, hearts, and hands

Charismaticism has never, is never, and will never be a valid expression of the Anglican tradition. It is dangerous, it makes mute the sacredness of the Sacraments, and it builds a people who need constant signs and wonders of spiritual affirmation, robbing them of assurance

Absolute blasphemy in a den of Satan. It is not loving or supporting to prop humanity up in their sin, and lend a faux sense of credence and acceptance from the “church”. This is open rebellion of God and Scripture.

Bishop Gheast says as much in his letter to Queen Elizabeth's advisor, Lord Burghley. "I told him plainly that the word 'only'...did not excuse the presence of Christ's body from the sacrament". This would emphasize how closely we align with a Lutheran understanding.

This is not Christianity. This is post-Christian paganism. It’s more dangerous than your average agnostic or atheist and it seeks to dismantle the core of our faith. Christ died, is risen, and Reigns and rules. If you don’t like, there’s the door.

Anglicanism is a natural theological progression of the Western Church, directly impacted by the church fathers, especially St. Irenaeus, St. Chrysostom, and St. Augustine. By progression I do not mean new or a reinvention of pre-existent systems, but rather a further refinement.

You guys literally alienated the entire reformational world. All the classical Protestant formularies and confessions admit that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist/communion. The disagreement is modality not reality. Get yourself some better writers and editors.

The Catholic Church's highest, not only, but most perfect authority is the Word of God, not the words of men. This is why we espouse and defend Sola Scriptura and not Sola Verbatim.
