Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada - Waterloo Declaration In 1983 Canadian Lutherans and Anglicans met to discuss the implications for the churches in Canada of the ongoing dialogue between Lutherans and Episcopalians in the United States. In 1997, the House of Bishops of the Anglican Church of Canada and the Council of General Synod each agreed that they were prepared to view the historic episcopate in the context of apostolicity articulated in Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry (paras.

Anglicanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For their part, those Anglicans who emphasize the Protestant nature of the Church stress the Reformation themes of salvation by grace through faith, the two sacraments of the Gospel, and Scripture as containing all that is necessary to salvation. Anglican churches outside England do not have this relationship with the British monarch, however it remains the case that the Archbishop of Canterbury, leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, is appointed by the Crown of the United Kingdom (in theory; in practice by the Prime Minister).

Catholic Update - What are Sacraments? by Joseph Martos Members of the Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican/Episcopal traditions call seven of their religious ceremonies sacraments. Of all the events that sacraments can point to in the past (biblical events, Church traditions, events in one's own faith journey), the most important are events in the life of Christ. The Catechism of the Catholic Church ties together the many meanings of sacraments thus: "The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. www.americancatholic.org /Newsletters/CU/ac0895.asp   (1845 words)

VirtueOnline-News - Exclusives - PENNSYLVANIA: Anglo Catholic Rector To Be Consecrated Continuing Bishop We are those Anglicans who call our Evangelical brothers and sisters on the Protestant side of the divide in Western Christianity to a more mature understanding and appreciation of the ancient liturgy of the Church and the importance of the sacraments. We are those Anglicans who long for the reunion of the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church and thus pray sincerely for reunion with Rome, as with the Eastern Church, but we do so on the basis of historic orthodox understandings of both ecclesiology and doctrine.

MESSENGER - The news of the Traditional Anglican Communion We are often referred to as “Continuing Anglicans” for we do nothing new, but rather, continue in the Catholic Faith received by the historic Church of England and passed on to us by our faithful predecessors holding the Creeds, the Seven Sacraments, and continuing the Apostolic Ministry of male only Bishops, Priests and Deacons. The Traditional Anglican Communion began in 1977 in Canada and the United States for the purpose of preserving and propagating historic Anglicanism. Since that time in every country where Anglicanism has been divided by new teachings, the ordination of women and in some dioceses, the abandoning of biblical standards of morality, Anglicans have regrouped. www.themessenger.com.au   (3498 words)

Church of England in Canada - Anglican Church In this fourfold condition of union laid down by the representatives of the Mother Church are included (1) the acceptance of the authority of the Holy Scriptures, (2) the creed called Nicene, (3) the divinely instituted sacraments of baptism and the holy communion, and (4) the historic episcopate. The Anglican Church owed much in those days, and in later days as well, to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, founded in 1701 to send clergy to British colonies, and to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (1698), which provided Christian education and literature. Though there are many Anglicans who look forward with hopefulness to the reunion of the various parts of the Christian Church, the Church of England in Canada has felt itself bound by the "Lambeth Quadrilateral". www2.marianopolis.edu /quebechistory/encyclopedia/ChurchofEnglandinCanada-AnglicanChurch.htm   (1909 words)

To these Mason in his "Vindiciae Ecclesiae Anglicanae" replied on the Anglican side, in 1613, and was the first to call attention, at all events effectively, to the entry in Parker's "Register" of his consecration on 17 December, 1559, in the private chapel at Lambeth.

St. Luke's Anglican Church - Winnipeg Canada THE MISSION of St. Luke's Church is to provide a physical and spiritual base in which to worship God in the style and tradition of the Anglican Church, to administer and receive the Holy Sacraments, and to foster the extension of God's Kingdom through acts of Christian faith and love. Saint Luke is the patron saint of physicians and surgeons, and also of guilds of artists, art schools, and painters of pictures because later tradition in the Greek Church claims that Luke was also an artist.

Lutheranism, Lutheran Church The Lutheran church defines itself as "the assembly of believers among which the Gospel is preached and the Holy Sacraments are administered according to the Gospel" (Augsburg Confession, VII). Because of their origin in the 16th century, the older European Lutheran churches are closely tied to their respective governments as established churches, either exclusively, as in the Scandinavian countries, or in a parallel arrangement with Roman Catholicism, as in Germany. Most of them were content not to separate church and state, and in the Peace of Augsburg (1555) approved the principle that the ruler determined the faith of the ruled. www.mb-soft.com /believe/text/lutheran.htm   (5066 words)

Having been promoted to the rank of Chancellor of England in October 1529, More relinquished his post in May 1532, so as not to be the king's accomplice either in his repudiation of queen Catherine in 1533, or in the Anglican schism in 1534. He was left a widower in 1511, with his four children and an adopted daughter, but very soon provided them with a new mother by his second marriage - to Alice Middleton, the widow of a London mercer, and seven years older than More. www.coe.int /T/E/Cultural_Co-operation/culture/Completed_projects/Legends/holysee.asp   (5066 words)

canon.htm The Anglican law defines, implements practically the communion between the churches, as rights and duties; the Anglican church recognises that in the other the sacraments are duly administered; each church welcomes one another’s members ‘as members of our own’; clergy are allowed to serve in the church in accordance with its own laws. Indeed, some laws require alteration of the Fundamental Declarations of a church to be ‘endorsed by the Archbishop of Canterbury as not affecting the terms of Communion between [that church], the Church of England and the rest of the Anglican Communion&;. One obvious model for such a development is the existing laws of some Anglican churches on ecumenical concordats and their incorporation in canon law: this is a practical experience of translating the moral order of communion, defined in an ecumenical concordat, into the juridical order of particular churches. www.philosophy-religion.org /beliefs/canon.htm   (5856 words)

info: SACRAMENT Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, the Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian Christians, members of the Anglican, United Methodist, and Old Catholic traditions, the Independent Catholic Churches and Lutherans hold that sacraments are not mere symbols, but rather, 'signs or symbols which effect what they signify', that is, the sacraments cause their recipients to receive divine grace. Sacraments are usually administered by the clergy to a recipient or recipients, and are generally understood to involve visible and invisible components. Christian churches and sects are divided regarding the number and operation of the sacraments, but they are generally held to have been instituted by Jesus. en.progressoelettronico.com /Sacrament   (5856 words)

The Difference Between Low Church and High Church From Webster's Dictionary: "Low Church (1710) tending esp. in Anglican worship to minimize emphasis on the priesthood, sacraments, and the ceremonial in worship and often to emphasize evangelical principles." By contrast: "High Church (1687) tending esp. in Anglican worship to stress the sacerdotal [priestly], liturgical, ceremonial, traditional, and Catholic elements in worship." Low Church attitudes, especially among American evangelicals, are often suspicious of structured worship, including emphasis on the sacraments and observance of rituals such as the Seasons of the Church Year. John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist tradition, was sometimes accused by his detractors of being "low church" because of his field preaching and training of lay-preachers outside the confines of normal church structure and structures. www.cresourcei.org /lowhighchurch.html   (1700 words)

By Water & The Spirit Wesley viewed the sacraments as crucial means of grace and affirmed the Anglican teaching that “a sacrament is ‘an outward sign of inward grace, and a means whereby we receive the same.”’ Combining words, actions, and physical elements, sacraments are sign-acts which both express and convey God’s grace and love. The sacraments do not convey grace either magically or irrevocably, but they are powerful channels through which God has chosen to make grace available to us. Because God has created and is creating all that is, physical objects of creation can become the bearers of divine presence, power, and meaning, and thus become sacramental means of God’s grace. www.gbod.org /worship/articles/water_spirit/god_comes.html   (1700 words)

John Keble was born in 1792, the son of a parish priest who raised young Keble in the high Anglican tradition. In his early Christian formation Keble became familiar with the Seventeenth century Anglican divines and with the devotions of the Non-Jurors, those high-churchmen who had left the Church of England after the revolution in 1688, when William and Mary succeeded James II, rather than betray their oath of allegiance to James. www.littlechurch.org /oxford.html   (1700 words)

The Independent Catholic Directory Project On the Sacraments: Many independent Catholic denominations are "full sacrament" communities, in that they welcome all baptised Catholics to full participation in their liturgies and sacraments, especially Holy Communion. The American Catholic Union, in cooperation with Dry Bones Press, is developing a directory of Old Catholic, Independent Catholic, Continuing Anglican, and Autocephalous Orthodox denominations and parishes. Others, however, reserve the sacraments for members of their denomination, while welcoming all baptised Catholics to Mass and prayer side-by-side with their members. www.am-cath.org /DirProj.htm   (345 words)

Sydney diocese faces expulsion - theage.com.au Wednesday 28 May 2003, 8:05 AM The Sydney Anglican Diocese is reportedly planning a change to the nature of Holy Communion, a move which will take Sydney a step closer to splitting from the rest of the Anglican church. "Now that women are allowed to (administer) the sacraments and proclaim the word of God, Sydney has said 'let's devalue the currency - now anybody can do it'," he said. The newspaper said the diocese had already been warned by bishops here and overseas that such a move would be theologically unsound and probably illegal, and that it faced likely expulsion from the Anglican Communion if it proceeded. www.theage.com.au /articles/2003/05/28/1053801421096.html   (203 words)

The Seekers Center The Anglican approach to reading and interpreting the Bible was first articulated by Richard Hooker, also in the 16th Century. Unique to Anglicanism, though, is the Book of Common Prayer, the collection of worship services that all worshipers in an Anglican church follow. The prayer book explains Christianity, describes the main beliefs of the Church, outlines the requirements for the sacraments, and in general serves as the main guidelines of the Episcopal life. www.episcopalchurch.org /17041_17013_ENG_HTM.htm?menu=menu16975   (424 words)
