"The Anglican Communion has no peculiar thought, practice, creed, or confession of its own. It has only the Catholic Faith of the ancient Catholic Church, as preserved in the Catholic Creeds and maintained in the Catholic and Apostolic constitution of Christ’s Church from the beginning.”
Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher
Our introduction to Anglicanism continues as we begin explaining how Anglican worship works. In this episode, we'll begin by looking back at the Catechism "To be a Christian" in order to understand what we believe about worship, and why we worship the way we do.
To follow along with this week's discussion, I recommend downloading a copy of our PDF - "An Introduction to Anglicanism". Pages 5-6 focus specifically on our discussion of the Sacraments!
For further study, please let me HIGHLY recommend "Liturgical Theology" by Simon Chan - which is an excellent expanded introduction to thinking through the world through a sacramental lens. And if you are interested in an historical study of the Rituals and Ceremonials of the Church in England, I recommend Percy Dearmer's book "The Parson's Handbook".
