The Anglican Tradition of Christianity

Essential Beliefs

We believe...

In God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth.
In Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord.
That Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
That Jesus Christ suffered under Pontius Pilate, Roman governor of Judea, and was crucified.
That Jesus Christ died and descended into Hell.
That on the third day, Jesus Christ rose again, physically, from the dead.
That Jesus Christ physically ascended into Heaven.
That Jesus Christ now sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
That Jesus Christ will come again to judge both the living and the dead.
In the Holy Spirit.
In the Holy Catholic Church, Catholic meaning "universal", and being made up of all Christians.
In the Communion of Saints.
In the forgiveness of sins.
In the physical resurrection of the body.
In everlasting life.

We believe in the Holy Trinity and, along with all other historical branches of Christianity, hold belief in the Trinity to be absolutely necessary in order to be Christian.

Furthermore, we believe that salvation is by faith alone, and that the only authoritative source on matters of faith is Holy Scripture.

The Anglican Way

Anglicanism has a rich tradition of being a "middle way", or in Latin, via media, between Protestantism and Catholicism. Anglicans combine a generally Protestant belief system with a very Catholic style of worship. Many Anglican churches are built in a traditional Gothic style, and our services place a great focus on ritual and beauty.

We are also very diverse, both in background and in beliefs. A popular saying among Anglicans is: "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love." While Anglicans are united in the essentials of our faith, we tolerate a wide variety of viewpoints on many, non-essential matters of faith. Thus, as Rev. Thomas MacKenzie explains in The Anglican Way: A Guidebook, Anglicans are simultaneously Catholic and evangelical, charismatic and orthodox, activist and contemplative, conservative and liberal.
