Who admits to membership in the Anglican Communion?
A communiqué from this week’s primatial gathering in Canterbury addressed the status of the Anglican Church in North America thus: The consideration of the required application for admission to membership of the Communion of the Anglican Church of North America was recognised as properly belonging to the Anglican Consultative Council. The Primates recognise that such…
The 39 Articles Project – Article 1
There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body, parts, or passions; of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness; the Maker, and Preserver of all things both visible and invisible. And in unity of this Godhead there be three Persons, of one substance, power, and eternity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost….
GAFCON — Through the Eyes of a Bishop’s Wife
The Lord’s hand was at work in a very powerful way as I watched the plans of the Lord unfold for GAFCON. I saw up close several of those who had been asked to be on the planning committee. I saw the Lord work through His people. Many moved to prayer and others used to…
Lambeth 2008 – A Retrospect
How will Anglican History view the 2008 Lambeth Conference? Too early to tell, but Rowan Williams stamped his personality and will clearly on every aspect of it. He gave five addresses at the opening retreat. He gave a welcoming address, three presidential addresses, closing the conference with one in which he articulated an agenda for…

With the world filled with terrorists, the stock market plunging, the future uncertain, liturgical churches spend time perfecting their prayer books, revising their rubrics, honing their hymnals, and solving arcane sacramental puzzles. Even from the inside, this often seems a waste of precious energy. Who…
Called to Catechize
The quickest way to introduce what I hope to get across in this article is to explain how I came to want to write it. So, with advance apologies for my narcissistic natter, here goes. It seems to me that there never was a time when I did not want to teach, or know how…
Why Anglicans Matter to the Rest of Us
In the brief and troubled reign of James II, an event took place that illustrates how connected Anglicans and non-Anglicans can sometimes be. James the Second was a fervent supporter of the interests of Rome, and during his reign—in the memorable phrase of J.C. Ryle—“traitors were hatched in the sunshine of corruption.” James had begun…
Preface to the Bible
FOR two sundry sorts of people, it seems very necessary that something be said in the entry of this book, by the way of preface or prologue; whereby hereafter it may be both the better accepted of those who hitherto could not well bear it, and also the better used of those who heretofore have…
