You made Anglicanism sound so good. I like how you emphasise the diversity of belief in Anglicanism, instead of pushing your own specific beliefs as the "Anglican position" on certain topics.
He is not expressing his own particular beliefs, but orthodox Anglicanism, which is most of the Anglican Church worldwide. It is really only the church of England and the Episcopal Church that have straight so far from their roots.
I feel blessed to be part of an Anglican Church in Hertfordshire UK. I’ve really been neglecting god but the last few days I’ve been finding that fire for god I once had. Reading the Bible and using an app to remind me to pray has really kept me on track.
Really great video! I'm a Reformed Protestants (not Calvinist) who knows why I am a historical Protestant. But Lutheranism and Anglican have presented themselves as real (and I'll say even better) options to being the continued expression of the catholic faith. Please pray for me!
Genuine questions, with a calm heart and sound mind.. Then why not just go into the Church, herself? With further study, you will find that there is no "continued expression" of The Church, there is One Holy and Catholic Apostolic Church (Apostles Creed), and there is the protesters against the One Holy Church. Furthermore, Why do you believe we all get to pick and choose what best suits us, when it comes to Jesus' design of His Church? Yes, we are all sinners and therefore all of us are defected in our original nature, so we all have problems, but why do you suppose that Christ is wrong, or didn't do a good enough job, or say that He should've done this or that.. in His Holiest and Highest wisdom and understanding ,why do you protest Christ? 🙏Thank you.
Thank you. A good summary of the "stable middle ground" position of Anglicanism. You give almost all the same motivations that I have for remaining an Anglican.
I joined the Anglican church 13 years ago. I’ve really grown in my walk of faith . The service is liturgical which I like. The ancient hymns are so beautiful. There is a logical order of the worship service that makes sense to me.
A great video brother! I joined a local Anglican Church at the end of 2022 after visiting. One of the things that drew me in was the biblical preaching, and the liturgy. The music was God centred and theologically sound, not like a concert as i had in my old church. And to hear the various creeds being recited every week was something I've never experienced before. Truly beautiful and I think it's safe to say I've found my spiritual home in the Anglican Church. You're pretty well articulated as well, good job. Will be giving you a sub for sure.
Great video, thank you! This gets at a lot of why I'm drawn to Anglicanism over Presbyteriansim. Broadly they are very similar (I'd say high church Presbyteriansim and mid church Anglicanism are very close in theology and style) but to me Anglicanism has always been much more sensitive in it's approach. It's evident one of Cranmer's main aims was to bring unity in what was a very divisive time. John Knox on the other hand took over Edinburgh cathedral and a lot of his followers destroyed stain glass windows and organs for being "too catholic". It was much more like a revolution than a reformation at times. I think the Anglican Church is truly "reformed" both in it's theology but also they way in which it went about it.
Haven't went to church in forever and have been studying on which one I would want to attend. My area is mainly just baptist churches, and I never agreed with catholocism all the way, just with a lot of their points. Anglicanism is what is closest to my beliefs and this video has been a huge help. Thank you!
We got our Apostolic Succession from Gregory the Great, and we have the AV Bible, the Prayer Book 1662/1928, and the 39 Articles, so we don't have to worry what Welby or Francis are saying or doing.
Sitting here in the first week of 2024, a man growing old who, like so many of my fellow Englishmen, has lived with Anglicanism as part of the furniture (often a neglected part), without ever really considering its full value and beauty, I find this a remarkably inspiring and informative discourse. At this moment (as I am sure you know), the Church is riven with disagreement over the blessing of gay couples, declining congregations, the political positions taken by Archbishop Welby and other bishops, and more besides. The outlook seems bleak. You remind me that there is so much worth preserving and celebrating. Thank you.
Maybe I'm unlearned, but wasn't that the point of GAFCON? I could just be saying that as a recent study of the ACNA, but I don't come to this topic without depth of Anglican study. The Appalachian Anglican podcast has been fruitful.
@@j897xce Thank you for this. On the contrary, if I may say so, I am sure that you are far more learned that I am in these matters. My point was this - and really you re-enforce it - that very many of us "three wheel" (birth, marriage and death) Anglicans, have very little idea of GAFCON and other movements, very little idea of what distinguishes traditional Anglicanism and what makes it so valuable, so beautiful.
If you are concerned with the discord in the C of E, you could try a Free Church of England church. They will be more traditional orthodox Anglican. The Anglican church has a rich history and wonderful liturgy. As a new Anglican I am loving it.
I understand the problem. I drive 45 miles to attend my Anglican ACNA church here in Texas. I pray God will bless your efforts to seek him, and show you where to attend church.
As a former Catholic and now High Church Protestant (discerning between Lutheranism and Anglicanism) this video has been extremely helpful in my journey.
@danielkulju9836 I will always be thankful for my journey into Catholicism from Atheism, but I have started questioning a lot of my earlier assumptions about the Roman Church. First, the good stuff, I think it's a Christian Church and that all faithful Catholics will be saved by Our Lord. Now the bad: The unity they adore talking about really isn't there, only in theory. Also, exaggerations in the Magisterium's consistency of teaching completely contradict the central dogma of infallibility.
Anglican is honestly the best option for a former Catholic. I personally would try to find a Episcopal Church that is not liberal(easiest way is through Redeemed Zoomer’s map) as it will be the most traditional and more what you are used to. If you can’t do ACNA. Lutherans are not as similar to Catholics as you think.
@@candyclews4047Why do you say that? The Catholic Church created the Bible, Luther added words and removed books. Why do you take the Holy Scriptures away from The Church and recreate your own interpretations to use against The Church? 🙏Thank you.
Great arguments. I would probably attend a more "orthadox" Anglican church is there was one nearby, but I am lucky enough to have a beautiful Episcopal Church in my neighborhood. I'm a new Christian so I feel so grateful to have a wonderful church close by. The liturgy is so moving to me. I definitely don't leave church on Sunday with the feeling that Christ is optional. God be with you.
As a member of the Church of the Nazarene (one of Anglicanism's grandchildren, through John Wesley) and as a Prayer Book Christian, I enjoyed this very much. Got yourself a new subscriber.
I love my Anglican church. We are APA Anglican, and trace our rots to the early or Old Catholic church of the Land in England. Going back to the first century, when England was still a part of the Roman Empire. The monasteries were central to the communities. When the king destroyed them, they did not just disappear. Our liturgy is a beautiful mass, we use the 1928 Prayer Book.
Why does everyone have this mindset of, "my church is better than your church?" No one in the bible asked what church to join, but instead asked in Acts 16 "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Do you know who asked God what church to join? Joe Smith. Everyone right now is obsessed with apostolic succession and being a part of the right religious institution, but no one is asking the most practical common sense question that the jailer asked Paul and Silas. The answer to that question was also simple: Acts 16:31 “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
Thank you for this video - it is good to finally see something positive being presented about Anglicanism! I am a New Zealander, and descend from English Anglican families dating from Henry VIII’s establishment of the church; ten generations of Anglican priests! So it is well and truly in my blood! I made my own decision of faith aged 16 within an Anglican church, and always find I connect best to God through our liturgy, and the quietness and calm of our worship. I always felt proud of our umbrella of faith that I was taught during my confirmation, allowing for diversity within unity (although nowadays I do feel concerned how far from Biblical and traditional church teachings we seem to be straying). I loved the writings of C S Lewis, and John Stott, et al, and they shaped my faith as I grew into adulthood. I benefitted from reading why Lewis chose Anglicanism over Catholicism, which Tolkein hoped he would embrace. So thank you for working to encourage those of us who have loved being Anglican, but can feel discouraged and a little lost in today’s confusion within Anglicanism.
Anglicans and other protestants mistakenly believe they celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. No they don’t! Catholic and Orthodox only celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. In John 6 Jesus Christ asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood for compelling reasons. Later, at the Lord’s Supper, Jesus Christ showed us how to obey His request to eat and drink of Him via blessed bread and wine that has miraculously become His flesh and His blood. The 39 articles of the Church of England calls this “wicked” and “repugnant”. Please read the core relevant passages on the Lord's Supper John 6:51-56 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.” John 6:60-68 excerpts 60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? …64 But among you there are some who do not believe.”… 64 For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe…. 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.” Note: The disbelieving Jews clearly understood that Jesus was speaking plainly by the plainly speaking reply of “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” These disbelieving Jews refused to accept that Jesus Christ could give us His flesh and blood to eat and drink and they turned their backs on Him. Mark 14:22-24 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper 22 While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 1 Corinthians 10:15-16 - St Paul 15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 1 Corinthians 11:19 -20 & 29 - St Paul 19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper… 29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves. Catholic and Orthodox Pastors only have received the Sacrament of Holy Orders from a Bishop of Apostolic Succession. Therefore protestant Pastors do not have the faculty to consecrate the bread and wine to become the body and blood of Jesus Christ so they remain bread and wine. Our one true God is most gracious and wise and one should lovingly accept His divine gift because “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jesus Christ). If you want to obey God and partake of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ then be Catholic or Orthodox. God bless you
Thanks for the video. I've been secular for the last ten years. Long depressing sorry I don't want to go into. But basically I watched the lion the witch and the wardrobe and it just made me really want to try again and my journey brought me to the Anglican Church. 😊 I like the Anglican Church is unique and wonderful because it is gentle and flexible and that makes it perfect for someone like me that comes from a very rough strict unhealthy background and needs that room and flexibility.
Well said brother. I am new to Anglican churches ( ACNA) and I love it. The litugy is an attraction to me. I believe it has made me more mindful and successful in my daily walk, but I have a long way to go. I am trying to do the daily office each day. I also think it is making me more bold about my fairh too. Great job on this video.
Thank you for this Reformed Zoomer has been a big help for me to untangle alot of knots and he led me to your channel. I English and have been going to an Anglican church for over a year. I am happy to tell you that in May of this year I will be making my confirmation.

Great work here! Thank you for creating this valuable content. I've heard my parishioners saying how much they have enjoyed and benefited from your videos.
Praying and hoping Anglicans and Anglican parishioners keep studying their Bible and ro compare it to their doctrines 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. If you are a Anglican, know that even your ministers know that you are worshipping on the Catholic day of worship (Sunday) and not the Biblical Day of worship (Sabbath Exod 20: 8-11).⁷ “Many people think that Sunday is the Sabbath, but neither in the New Testament nor in the early church, is there anything to suggest that we have any right to transfer the observance of the seventh day of the week to the first. The Sabbath was and is Saturday and not Sunday…” Rev. Lionel Beere, Church and People, September 1, 1947. To worship on Sunday is to be under the Pope's Mark; Catholicism boldly proclaim that Sunday is the Lord's day because THEY wanted it to be (The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1957 p50) ; which is not based on Scripture and which breaks the 4th Commandment where God tells us to worship Him on His Day which is the Sabbath (Exo 20:8-11).l, Catholicism BOASTS that protestants have no good reason for worshipping on Sunday - they ought to keep Sabbath as Saturday if they follow their Bible (John Gilmary Shea, American Catholic Quarterly Review 1883). One cannot compromise, its either Sunday under Catholic law or Sabbath under God's law , even God warns us we cannot serve God and mammon (Luke 16:13)
Went to Solemn Mass at an Anglican Church for Christmas Eve and that’s exactly what it felt like to me, even closer to Eastern Orthodox than Roman Catholic.
I have never understood why Christians of one denomination find it necessary to proselytize those of another?! If we are baptized into Christ then we should be one/united with Christ.
The Ordinariate of the Catholic Church IS the answer. It is fully-Catholic and has Anglican patrimony. To be a member of Jesus Christ's Catholic Church is to be in union with the successor of St. Peter. There is good reason so many Anglican/Episcopalian bishops and priests have chosen the Ordinariate. St. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage “The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18-19]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he should desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251] “There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering” (Letters 43[40]:5 [A.D. 253] St. Optatus, bishop of Milevus “In the city of Rome the episcopal chair was given first to Peter; the chair in which Peter sat, the same who was head-that is why he is also called Cephas [‘Rock’]-of all the apostles, the one chair in which unity is maintained by all. Neither do the apostles proceed individually on their own, and anyone who would [presume to] set up another chair in opposition to that single chair would, by that very fact, be a schismatic and a sinner. . . . Recall, then, the origins of your chair, those of you who wish to claim for yourselves the title of holy Church” (The Schism of the Donatists2:2 [A.D. 367] St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo “There are many other things which most properly can keep me in her [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house” (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]
I have been at Anglican Churches for the last 30 years because I did kind of fall into it. I first started going to an Anglican Church because I needed to change from church I was at and while I had friends at a few other local churches the one that was more local and teaching me the Bible well was Anglican. Then a few years later I went to visit a friend who was starting a new congregation, he asked for feedback and suddenly I had a job to help implement my suggestions the next week. This church also happened to Anglican but much less established so in greater need of help and lots of brand new Christians so I ended up there simply because that was were I could best use my gifts to help.
I left Episcopaganism a few years ago. When a church capitulates its values to those of the secular culture it's no longer following Christ. It's following the lost.
Woman clergy is a hard one, I like when they say we dont have to worry about francis ! But the worse damage he could have done they did already, its kinda like nah you cant kill me if I am already dead
@@anonnymouse554 its biblical, ans even in OT all priests are Male, because priesthood is fatherhood, a woman cannot be a priest not because she is less than a man, but because a woman cant be a father, the same way a man cant be a mother, Because priests are visibly actors of the love of God who is reffered to as a Father, thats why no apostle was a woman, furthermore the earlh church never ordained woman, also his church is his bride, and bishops are married to The church, thats why no bishop can be married, and the Church is female as rev 12 shows
You are correct about the Episcopal church and probably most of the church of England. However, the majority of Anglicans in the world, I have heard as much as 80%, have rejected the progressive trend, and either maintained or returned to orthodox Christianity. For example, in the United States, the Anglican church in North America broke off from the Episcopalians because of the very reasons you state.
Anglican youtubers: Have pictures of beautiful historic cathedrals all over their videos, then proceed to encourage everyone to leave those old historic cathedrals and join the ACNA which has fewer cathedrals than the PCA. (I'm just messing with you, love your stuff)
If you are curious, I would say the ACNA has the best per capita record with the construction of new cathedrals in the short time it has existed. Look for example at St. Peter's in Tallahassee
It was my love of liturgy in the Book of Common Prayer that made me become Anglican, and it was my love of doctrine in the Book of Concord that made me become Lutheran - while retaining the catholic liturgy.
Wonderful talk. I am an English Anglican and very interested in Celtic Christianity. In my opinion the Reformation took us back to the Pre-Papacy era of the Christians in my country (Synod of Whitby in 664 AD was when we came under the yoke of Rome, sadly). Thank you for mentioning the Celtic Christians.
I was raised in an Evangelical non denominational church. While they taught the Bible and are a devout bunch, I feel disconnected, and am searching for a denomination when I leave my home.
As a former evangelical charismatic, I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to tradition, liturgy, and ritual. Was looking into Orthodoxy, but I can't get past the icons. Just started looking into Anglicanism so I found this helpful. One thing I'm not clear on is what the ACNA says for female pastors/priests.
Thank you for this. As an Anglican priest, I agree that we downplay what we have and allow others to define us. However, I never think of myself as a Protestant, a term you use. I am a Catholic (big C), but not Roman, just as the Orthodox are Catholic, but not Roman. The headship of the Pope is not essential to Catholicity, although the Creeds, Apostolic Succession and the threefold ministry of bishop, priest, and deacon are. But it is true that Anglicans have Reformation elements, such as the importance of scripture, but retained all the Catholic things that matter. The Anglican emphasis on Word and Sacrament, as well as allowing more latitude in thought and practice make Anglicanism more adaptable, but may not appeal to people who want inflexible authority. I see this as a strength.
To be clear, I am a Canadian, where the term “Anglican” means the mainstream Anglican Church in communion with Canterbury. I am aware that some Americans use the term “Anglican” to mean the opposite. In the US, the Episcopal Church is the one in communion with Canterbury.
Watching this video this morning led me to visit my local Episcopal Church. 😊 The local ACNA church is two counties away, and the local APA church is too "Catholic" for my taste. Also, they only have one service, and it was too early.
I'm a conservative evangelical Anglican, but attended our local parish Mass when I can attend. My wife and I are considering Rome, but I think Anglicanism (in the orthodox way) is amazing
Reedemed zoomer is liberal who said that he would rather have woman pastor if she gave him sacraments as accepted, when i heared that i closed his film. He preach that egalitarianism is not dela-breaker, it is. No compromise and no liberalisation under mask of "conservatiwness"
I used to go to the Episcopal Church with my grandpa when I was young. I've been enjoying studying about Eastern Catholics. I would love to attend an orthodox Anglican Church. 🕯️⛪
Currently figuring out between Anglicanism and Lutheranism-they seemed so similar that I wasn’t sure which, but I feel like the Apostolic Succession is a very strong argument that pushes me in favor of Anglicanism
Sorry, I sent that by mistake. The reason I ask is because I have an affinity for both Anglicanism and Orthodoxy. I know that the Antiochian Orthodox Church is establishing Western Rite congregations in the US. Would you ever consider that over Anglicanism? If not, why?
Thirty-three years ago, when I was in the process of converting from Judaism to Roman Catholicism, an Anglican acquaintance tried to persuade me to become Anglican. I asked him, "What's that?" He briefly explained to me the history of it. My question to him was, "Why would I want to join a church that was founded by someone who wanted a divorce?" Of course, I did NOT become Anglican. I joined the Church that Jesus Himself founded and I'm staying there.
First of all, Anglicanism was not founded on a divorce. The Church of England existed before the Reformation. After Henry VIII came Edward VI and Mary I. Mary I, Bloody Mary, forced the Church of England into communion with Rome. The final break did not occur till twelve years into the reign of Elizabeth I, the year 1570. In 1560 Pope Pius IV was even willing to allow the 1559 Book of Common Prayer in exchange for recognition of papal jurisdiction.🤔
I agree on many points of your reasons why we should be Anglican. I think it is great to see someone to defend the faith that I chose and was baptised many years ago. At the same time, I am concerned about how Episcopal church has embraced LGBT community and how it conflicts with the Christian faith. I wonder if your reason number 2 could also be the downfall of the faith. We definitely need more videos like this for the Anglican faith. Thanks
@@Young_Anglican i believe ecumenism will be downfall- a oneness with ths Catholic Church If you are a Anglican, know that even your ministers know that you are worshipping on the Catholic day of worship (Sunday) and not the Biblical Day of worship (Sabbath Exod 20: 8-11).

@@royquick-s5n Ashenden is unhappy with the pontiff and happy to be in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church does not recognize the validity of Holy Orders in the Anglican church as being the same thing as the Catholic Church, there are no priestesses in the Catholic Church for instance. As far as leaving the Catholic Church or even leaving an investigatory class in catechesis, that has been going on since Jesus said His body was real food and half left, and since Judas got his money, so nothing new in people having closed minds or in betrayal. Henry was quite aware of what he was doing when he left. One can criticize the pope and things in the Catholic Church and still be a very good Catholic, in fact at times speaking out is rather a duty. There have been good popes and bad popes and all kinds in between, intrigue and sin are not new, the office of pope, is Divinely instituted for the purposes of leadership and unity. Abortion is a grave evil, contraception is a sin, except among those outside the Catholic Church, they claim otherwise and there are as many teachings that run contrary to one another as there are particles of sand on a beach, in other words NO authority exists to teach outside the Catholic Church, none. It is self-evident that there is no authority outside the Catholic Church because there is a continual seeking of agreement on what the actual Truth IS, but nobody there to state it. It is a failed experiment no matter how many attempts are it have been made. Scandal and sin and pride divide the body of Christ and at this point today many who claim the title of Christian are in fact anything but Christian, many who claim to be Catholic are anything but Catholic. This is true not merely among public figures, but among the lay people, and prelates as well. I can attest to the authenticity of the Catholic Church since I have indeed experienced those actions of Jesus and the saints which have always and everywhere been exhibited in a completely Catholic manner and which would run contrary to all in not most Protestant teachings. God is quite Catholic in His manner.
I m Roman Catholic and i am eagerly awaiting my Anglican Devine Worship of Daily Office (Common Wealth edition). I understand it shows some of the beauty of Catholicism that Rome lost when the English left. I believe it was only in the last 10-15 years that the Vatican approved it for us to use for daily worship. Peace be with you, my seperated brother. Hope you have a fantastic 4th of July.
I hope you can reconsider this 😢 Some Catholic Writings are anti-Bible. For example Decretals, epistolae decretales, are papal letters that have a claim to universal validity and clarify questions of Church law. The Roman Decretalia states the Pope can pronounce sentences and judgments in contradiction to the right of nations, and to the law of God and man .... He can free himself from the commands of the apostles, he being their superior, and from the rules of the Old Testament,” “The pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.”-Decretal de Translat. Episcop. Cap. The Catholic 10 Commandments found in Catechisms Sections 2052 -2557 are DIFFERENT to God's 10 Commandments found in Exodus 20.
There are other practices they hold onto which is not Biblical Praying to Saints or for saints is a form of necromancy. Idolatary is practised in Catholicism despite what the Bible teaches:
@@xXBlessedXxii you are incorrect. If you are serious about learning the truth behind these practices I will share a link or two. If your mind is made up that you are right and the Apostles were wrong then I bid you a peaceful night .
I find the obligation of unification in secondary theological issues are really disturbing me,just like in Roman Catholicism and Lutheranism.I agree with the usage of Deuterocanonical books as Scriptures and 7 Sacraments with Roman Catholicism,and I agree with the 5 Solas with Lutheranism.However,I have been worrying for a long time trying to fit into something I do not agree with in their denominations.Now I find a Anglican church locally here in France,and I personally think Anglicanism is fit for me.Please,Pray for me,my sisters and brothers.Soli Deo Gloria.

There isn’t an acna church where I live. But there are a few Episcopal churches and one Anglican Catholic Church which about 5 minutes form my house. What do you think about ACC?
I wish I could be anglican, but there is no parish in my city... I also don't want to go to a catholic cjhurch. I guess I'll settle for a Lutheran church...
I am currently seeking a liturgical church. I’m torn between Anglican and Catholic. I read tonight that when Elizabeth the first took over she got rid of all her fathers catholic priests (who were now Anglican) and replaced them with people of her choosing. Have you researched this and found it to be false or is this true? And if it’s true how is there apostolic succession? I’d love for someone to provide me an answer to this. Thank you and God bless.
Well done, persuasive. I understand the reasons for the ACNA, but fracturing the weak Anglican tradition in the United States is regrettable. The Episcopal Church did not divide, for example, over slavery in the 19th so why now? Your arguments also suggest that a union with Rome, as we had all anticipated in the early 1970s, should be our objective. I will not live to see it, but I hope that these beautiful and inspiring traditions will find a way to join each other.
The one issue that the Anglican Church has to deal with, is the ordination of women priests and the consecration of female bishops. Doesn't this separate the Anglican Church from like the Catholic/Orthodox? Doesn't this mean that AS has been lost?
This is a genuine question. They fought so hard for it against the Pope in Apostolicae Curae, then wrecked it through their own hubris. There is an organised Society in the CoE which refuses the Eucharistic from priestesses and will maintain AS but it is a vilified small group.
@@LeoRegumThere are at least 38 provinces throughout the world. The largest one, the province of Nigeria, does not permit WO. There are others as well. It is not some tiny minority
I'm anglican by heart, I like liturgy, serious ceremonies, anthems, but I have two difficulties, like a spanish, I do not recognize the king of England, and I can't congregate , in my zone there is nothing similar, like presbiterian, similar. All else , OK.
Outside of England, the King of England has no role in Anglicanism. But the rest is unfortunate! I know there are some lustianian churches with Mozarabic Rite in Iberia but probably not that many. I'll pray for you brother!
I was part of the ACNA and left because 1/2 the congregation didn't believe Adam was a real person, the bishop was a carismatic, and they kept wanting to ordain women. Confessional Lutheranism has been so much better.
I like Anglicanism for its ecumenism and humility around the non-essentials. For the Eucharist, traditional denominations all agree essentially that 1) Jesus said it *is* His body and blood 2) Empirically, the bread and wine don't *seem* to become chunks of meat and blood. Since Jesus didn't specify 'how', it's a mystery including different theories that we can't be certain about unless God lets us know, thus it's more important to focus on the 'what' and 'why' of the Eucharist; Jesus is as present as He needs to be. I can worship to a liturgy adapted to my language with an apostolic episcopate that doesn't miss the 'filioque'. I like being able to choose between high and low churches (I go out of my way to worship at the mediaeval church in my town) that are still in one Communion, we're still brothers in Christ. The Reformation had good points, yet I'm wary of throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater.
The second I mention Anglican, people jump straight to "That church was started by Henry the VIII who split off because he wanted a divorce!" It's so annoying lol
One vital area the ACNA seems to have no regulatory disciplinary desire to correct, are that the seperate dioceses have the freedom to ordain and install women priests.
It seems Anglicanism is the same on predestination and election as Calvin but Lutheranism sees predestination and election different. I ame I seeing if Anglicanism holds to limited atonement or do they have an objective justification view like Lutherans ?
@Lepewhi some Lutheran Churches maintained apastolic succesion. The Sweedish Lutherans being one example. I'm not Lutheran myself bur what you need to keep in mind is that after the reformation you had plenty of Bishops who had hands placed on them ending up on the reformed side and a few churches maintained that succesion to this day.
Anglicans and other protestants mistakenly believe they celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. No they don’t! Catholic and Orthodox only celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. In John 6 Jesus Christ asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood for compelling reasons. Later, at the Lord’s Supper, Jesus Christ showed us how to obey His request to eat and drink of Him via blessed bread and wine that has miraculously become His flesh and His blood. The 39 articles of the Church of England calls this “wicked” and “repugnant”. Please read the core relevant passages on the Lord's Supper John 6:51-56 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.” John 6:60-68 excerpts 60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? …64 But among you there are some who do not believe.”… 64 For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe…. 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.” Note: The disbelieving Jews clearly understood that Jesus was speaking plainly by the plainly speaking reply of “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” These disbelieving Jews refused to accept that Jesus Christ could give us His flesh and blood to eat and drink and they turned their backs on Him. Mark 14:22-24 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper 22 While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 1 Corinthians 10:15-16 - St Paul 15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 1 Corinthians 11:19 -20 & 29 - St Paul 19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper… 29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves. Catholic and Orthodox Pastors only have received the Sacrament of Holy Orders from a Bishop of Apostolic Succession. Therefore protestant Pastors do not have the faculty to consecrate the bread and wine to become the body and blood of Jesus Christ so they remain bread and wine. Our one true God is most gracious and wise and one should lovingly accept His divine gift because “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jesus Christ). If you want to obey God and partake of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ then be Catholic or Orthodox. God bless you
The Anglican Churches doctrinal emphasis is incarnational which is reflected in its liturgical worship and spills out into its theology. The 20th Century Archbishop of Canterbury Micheal Ramsey from a High Church perspective embodied this idea of incarnational believe this was shown not just in the way he worshipped but in his preaching and writing. Whilst, on the more Protestant side Archbishop Donald Coggan in his preaching gave emphasis to incarnational theology. You will not find in the Church of Rome such overall emphasis on incarnational doctrine nor in the Prostant Churches either.
It definitely depends on the country. The King James was originally the Anglican translation of course but today I find that in America the ESV is popular as well as the NRSV.
The episcopal church does not have theological positions anymore. I am in the Anglican Church in North America. You can be a minister or even a bishop in the Episcopal church and not believe in God.
@@Young_Anglican "Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha, it's all the same." Katharine Jefferts Schori (Former Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America)
@@Young_Anglican thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, the LCMS church in my area doesn’t look much different than the non-denom I’m currently attending. I think this is what Redeemed Zoomer is talking about when people say ACNA is a perfect option for those who want a more orthodox expression of faith but in reality the ACNA church near them is in a strip mall or worse there is none. Then the next suggestion is Lutheran or something of the sort, and it’s a similar issue.
I know that Catholic Church has records as to what bishop ordained what bishop. You mention that the Anglican Church can trace its own apostolic succession. Can you give specific references to those publications or lists? Thanks.
Many such lists are available, here is one for the archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America drive.google.com/file/d/1L1p_VfRozByPZOMkCRQP8Pqy3D6uONcW/view?usp=drivesdk
Anglicans must courageously reject sola scrittura and....many errors would be automatically removed....also 5 year Lambeth Conf discussing and rewording 39 Articles....now is the time guys!!!!
The biggest reason not to be … church founded by a king who wanted a divorce that proceeded to execute any who would not bend their knee to him as being head of his own church. This is not what Jesus said would happen to his church in the bible
What modern Bible is as accurate as the KJV? What words in the KJV that are too hard for you to understand? The 39 articles would be an evidence to me that a particular Anglican church is reformed and not a result of the Oxford Movement. I believe in Predestination, Election and Limited Atonement.
When i became Roman Catholic for 10 years i felt like i carried on my back the iron rod of papal Infallibility and roman dogma. They force you into scrupulosity and it becomes tiresome. Rome is a courthouse. When i came back to Anglo-catholicism i finally got my relationship with jesus and his holy mother back.
Praying and hoping Anglicans and Anglican parishioners keep studying their Bible and to compare it to their doctrines 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. If you are a Anglican, know that even your ministers know that you are worshipping on the Catholic day of worship (Sunday) and not the Biblical Day of worship (Sabbath Exod 20: 8-11).⁷ “Many people think that Sunday is the Sabbath, but neither in the New Testament nor in the early church, is there anything to suggest that we have any right to transfer the observance of the seventh day of the week to the first. The Sabbath was and is Saturday and not Sunday…” Rev. Lionel Beere, Church and People, September 1, 1947. To worship on Sunday is to be under the Pope's Mark; Catholicism boldly proclaim that Sunday is the Lord's day because THEY wanted it to be (The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1957 p50) ; which is not based on Scripture and which breaks the 4th Commandment where God tells us to worship Him on His Day which is the Sabbath (Exo 20:8-11).l, Catholicism BOASTS that protestants have no good reason for worshipping on Sunday - they ought to keep Sabbath as Saturday if they follow their Bible (John Gilmary Shea, American Catholic Quarterly Review 1883). One cannot compromise, its either Sunday under Catholic law or Sabbath under God's law , even God warns us we cannot serve God and mammon (Luke 16:13)
1 Corinthians 16:2 “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.” Acts 20:7 “And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.” The Roman Catholic cult didn't start this tradition.
Aren’t any Anglicans or Episcopalians concerned about the decline of adherents? I mean, Catholic Churches might be sacrament factories but at least they’re full
How can you claim apostolic succession while repudiating the Archbishop of Canterbury as Gafcon and others do? It's sort of a sedevacantist point of view similar to SSPX in Catholicism. "Anglicanism" is historically English under the bishopric of Canterbury. Or can it be argued that the dissenting churches are more like ROCOR during the period of the USSR? In that case, the term "Anglican" would have to be modified to make a distinction from the Canterbury communion.
Anglicanism is English faith... not "English under the bishopric of Canterbury"... Anglicanism is not defined by the Archbishop of Canterbury... nor has it ever been, we're not the Roman Church... and the Archbishop of Canterbury is not a Pope of Canterbury... his just the *Archbishop* of Canterbury. *"Anglicanism’s chief glory is to present and embody the faith of the church catholic-downwind of the Reformation, with a robust understanding of justification by faith in tow-in such a way that Anglicans may be confident that they are adhering to the same apostolic teaching and inhabiting the same ecclesial order as their earliest forebears in the faith did. . . . We are distinctive precisely by aiming not to be distinctive. Our theology is the theology of the early church, the era of the Fathers, the best of the medieval world and the Reformation-all set decently on the table in our prayer book and other formularies."* That is what Anglicanism is.
How much emphasize would you put on the importance of apostolic succession for valid sacraments? The Church of Sweden and Church of Finland have apostolic succession as well, but there has never been a great emphasize put on it - it's a "good order", but nothing beyond that. If you don't think apostolic succession is necessary for valid sacraments, then what is the point emphasizing it?
I think enough emphasis is established in scripture that the Apostles were given the authority to bind and loose earthly things in heaven and heavenly things on earth. The sacraments seem to fit the bill. I won't argue it is explicit in scripture, or that the Anglican interpretation is from God, but in my opinion if there is any hint that it might be required I think it is safe to say it is important and good to have. If it is possible that the sacraments otherwise administered are in anyway inferior, then Apostolic Succession would be important in that sense. Additionally Apostolic Succession is not only about the Sacraments, but also about knowing definitively where the visible Church at least begins.
I believe Luther mocks the idea in his "Babylonian Captivity" treatise. He says it's a useful ecclesiastical convention and nothing more. In my opinion, it deserves to be mocked as a superstition - at least in the crude way it's often held to, where the Apostles are seen as passing on some magic power by the laying on of hands needed to make the sacraments "valid", and where the ecclesiastical hierarchy takes on the look of a monarchical or aristocratic dynasty, in which the Spirit is being passed down like a genetic bloodline. This is pure superstition in my opinion and turns the Christian priesthood into a decadent Brahmin caste like the Hindus have. It's totally unnecessary and makes a mockery of the priesthood and the sacraments it's trying to protect. The Apostolic Succession spoken of by Church fathers like St. Irenaeus is about establishing one's claim to orthodoxy by proximate links to the Apostolic faith, against the Gnostic heretics St. Irenaeus was combatting who claimed invisible authorities and traditions for themselves nobody had ever heard of... In my opinion, any pastor who has been truly called by God and who preaches the orthodox faith and rightly administers the sacraments has the "keys" of authentic Apostolic succession. The ecclesiastical convention of elder Bishops laying hands on younger Bishops is just an outward sign of this; useful but not necessary.
Mark 9:38-40 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us." But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is for us.
That's because the Early Church Fathers were all Catholic. The Assyrian Church of the East was started in 431 by schismatics. The Oriental Orthodox was later started by schismatics. Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church in 33 A.D. and it is lead by the successor of St. Peter. The Ordinariate of the Catholic Church IS the answer. It is fully-Catholic and has Anglican patrimony. To be a member of Jesus Christ's Catholic Church is to be in union with the successor of St. Peter. There is good reason so many Anglican/Episcopalian bishops and priests have chosen the Ordinariate. St. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage “The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18-19]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he should desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251] “There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering” (Letters 43[40]:5 [A.D. 253] St. Optatus, bishop of Milevus “In the city of Rome the episcopal chair was given first to Peter; the chair in which Peter sat, the same who was head-that is why he is also called Cephas [‘Rock’]-of all the apostles, the one chair in which unity is maintained by all. Neither do the apostles proceed individually on their own, and anyone who would [presume to] set up another chair in opposition to that single chair would, by that very fact, be a schismatic and a sinner. . . . Recall, then, the origins of your chair, those of you who wish to claim for yourselves the title of holy Church” (The Schism of the Donatists2:2 [A.D. 367] St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo “There are many other things which most properly can keep me in her [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house” (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]
This is my opinion sidism. Infact I said these words on redeemed zoomer's channel but i'll quote myself. I side with Anglicanism. "God never appoints popes but kings, That individualistic communities should exist with our own agency but that we need traditional and hierarchical structure to exist so that we have order and theology. Tradition helps us with Christian lore and rules but that individualism enough that faith helps us with the faith and grace of Christ. New testament saves. But law is still sovereignty. I believe in old testament law as kingdom sovereignty but it does not grant me grace of salvation. Only Christ does. But rather articulates my obedience to authority which is God the father. As i liken the Normans as a people of laws and therefore old testament but with a Anglo-Saxon identity where God gave us Britain similar to God giving Israel to the Israelites. And so that we chose faith." it's how it makes sense to me. I treat the role of Judaism of old as to begot Christ and see Anglicanism as the fruit. God did the Jews they served now go Anglican through the English. No I am not promoting chosen people racial supremacism I reject that as a heresy. I see that traditions and rituals of faith confirm our identity and conform our doctrinal edicts whilst also everything you said which I also agree. We need incentives to study the bible and even the apocrypha but without viewing said apocrypha as scripture just guideline a lesser authority. Which isn't a universal anglican view this is my view. I believe pre Christ had Temple tradition and Judaism. while post Christ had the Anglican church and Anglicanism. The British empire and it's Anglosphere offshoots being the U.S, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain export a large empire and sphere of influence allowing Methodists, and Baptists who come from Anglican tradition and Anglicans ourselves into proselytizing/proselytization. The Spectrum of Anglicanism is from "Anglo-Catholicism" to more communal "Anglo-Reformationist" we are middle ground of traditional and reform/change and I like that. Anyone can be Anglican, Jew or Greek or Ishmaelite or Israelite or English etc. We have traditions that teach our theology to help our temple the Anglican church of london represent christ while like protestants we build our incentive christian zeal of missionary work. As I said some of my theology isn't necessarily replacement theology, I don't think Jews are necessarily obsolete or some antisemitic ideas like that. Rather I see the third temple as the Anglican church and have this chosen people theology as now applied to Britain. The Israelites were born from Israel, moved into Canaan from somewhere else. And Christ went through that lineage, and the Israelite temples and Davidic line with Israelite holy land in Canaan which taught God and Law to gentile Levantine nations surrounding Israel. Now we had the complete faith of Anglicanism as the successor of Anglicans, That Angles and Saxons were chosen by God to go to Britain, Our patriarch Angul, his descendants went to Britain, became England, and God flourished England to parallel with the Israelites so that Anglican faith finds fertile development in Britain. The Briton apostates we conquered are like our Canaanites, we are like the Israelites, and the Anglican church formed from Anglo-Saxons. And then like the Aramaean pagans challenging the faith of the Israelites, the Vikings challenged the Anglo-Saxon christians, Now to clarify my beliefs, I neither believe Anglo-Saxons are Israelites or replacers of Israel. I am not anti or pro zionist or replacement covenant that supercedes Israel. I merely believe the Anglican church is like the Christian version of judaism with some parallels. King of England akin to king of Israel, And the Canterbury Cathedral Is the third temple. We have slight bible disagreement intra denominational debate into semi sects of Anglicanism, a reform branch and conservative almost Anglo-catholic branch, reminiscent of Sadducees and Pharisees of Judaism, Zealots of Judaism being like Puritans in England and Baptists that fell out of Anglicanism is like Essenes. So with these parallels I have my Historian reason for Anglicanism. But I also likewise exactly think like you in doctrine and belief. So I support and agree with your Anglican articulation. And I am ultra conservative. I am sadden of the heretical liberals entering my faith.
@@royquick-s5n the Freemason order are an electorate hierarchy with branches. Not a top down hierarchy of the fealty of the classes of nobility and laity. Also from my experience freemasons are Presbyterians.

I appreciate your video and your honest approach, but I think that you underestimate just how different Eastern Orthodoxy is from Anglicanism, even when it is at its closest approach to Orthodoxy: in terms of things that are so radically essential (the nature of the Eucharist) and yet are left at the level of preference in the Anglican tradition, branch theory (which the Orthodox reject), etc. But I do appreciate that you defend your tradition in terms of being "the best". Why would you subject yourself to a tradition that you felt was anything less? I'm always shocked when I hear certain Christians (particularly evangelicals) try to reduce every Christian tradition to a least-common-denominator, nobody-is-the-best sort of way, in an effort to avoid the fact that someone one must be doing Christianity in the best, most full, most perfect way. FWIW.

false and misleading advertising!
@@arthurhallett-west5145then what is the Truth? The CC or the Orthodox?
He is not expressing his own particular beliefs, but orthodox Anglicanism, which is most of the Anglican Church worldwide. It is really only the church of England and the Episcopal Church that have straight so far from their roots.
I feel blessed to be part of an Anglican Church in Hertfordshire UK. I’ve really been neglecting god but the last few days I’ve been finding that fire for god I once had. Reading the Bible and using an app to remind me to pray has really kept me on track.
CofE here, love this video. Really great explanation on the positives of the wider Anglican church.
Really great video! I'm a Reformed Protestants (not Calvinist) who knows why I am a historical Protestant. But Lutheranism and Anglican have presented themselves as real (and I'll say even better) options to being the continued expression of the catholic faith. Please pray for me!
Genuine questions, with a calm heart and sound mind.. Then why not just go into the Church, herself? With further study, you will find that there is no "continued expression" of The Church, there is One Holy and Catholic Apostolic Church (Apostles Creed), and there is the protesters against the One Holy Church. Furthermore, Why do you believe we all get to pick and choose what best suits us, when it comes to Jesus' design of His Church? Yes, we are all sinners and therefore all of us are defected in our original nature, so we all have problems, but why do you suppose that Christ is wrong, or didn't do a good enough job, or say that He should've done this or that.. in His Holiest and Highest wisdom and understanding ,why do you protest Christ? 🙏Thank you.
@@YahuahsRefiner I’m sorry..but which church is this?? You DO know many (if not all) churches claim this right ?!? lol
Thank you. A good summary of the "stable middle ground" position of Anglicanism. You give almost all the same motivations that I have for remaining an Anglican.
I'm re exploring my lost Anglican roots. Bless you for this podcast
I joined the Anglican church 13 years ago. I’ve really grown in my walk of faith . The service is liturgical which I like. The ancient hymns are so beautiful. There is a logical order of the worship service that makes sense to me.
A great video brother! I joined a local Anglican Church at the end of 2022 after visiting. One of the things that drew me in was the biblical preaching, and the liturgy. The music was God centred and theologically sound, not like a concert as i had in my old church. And to hear the various creeds being recited every week was something I've never experienced before. Truly beautiful and I think it's safe to say I've found my spiritual home in the Anglican Church. You're pretty well articulated as well, good job. Will be giving you a sub for sure.

@@Young_Anglican I always love seeing up and comers, and sharing their stuff.
@@TheOtherPaul thanks foe the shoutout! God bless!
Great video, thank you! This gets at a lot of why I'm drawn to Anglicanism over Presbyteriansim. Broadly they are very similar (I'd say high church Presbyteriansim and mid church Anglicanism are very close in theology and style) but to me Anglicanism has always been much more sensitive in it's approach. It's evident one of Cranmer's main aims was to bring unity in what was a very divisive time. John Knox on the other hand took over Edinburgh cathedral and a lot of his followers destroyed stain glass windows and organs for being "too catholic". It was much more like a revolution than a reformation at times. I think the Anglican Church is truly "reformed" both in it's theology but also they way in which it went about it.
Haven't went to church in forever and have been studying on which one I would want to attend. My area is mainly just baptist churches, and I never agreed with catholocism all the way, just with a lot of their points. Anglicanism is what is closest to my beliefs and this video has been a huge help. Thank you!
We got our Apostolic Succession from Gregory the Great, and we have the AV Bible, the Prayer Book 1662/1928, and the 39 Articles, so we don't have to worry what Welby or Francis are saying or doing.
That’s a good way to look at it 👍🏻
Kind of weird, since Welby is the Head of the Anglican Communion.
@@rogeryoung5180 Welby is no Cranmer, and Francis is no Gregory the Great. Pax.
Sitting here in the first week of 2024, a man growing old who, like so many of my fellow Englishmen, has lived with Anglicanism as part of the furniture (often a neglected part), without ever really considering its full value and beauty, I find this a remarkably inspiring and informative discourse. At this moment (as I am sure you know), the Church is riven with disagreement over the blessing of gay couples, declining congregations, the political positions taken by Archbishop Welby and other bishops, and more besides. The outlook seems bleak. You remind me that there is so much worth preserving and celebrating. Thank you.
Maybe I'm unlearned, but wasn't that the point of GAFCON? I could just be saying that as a recent study of the ACNA, but I don't come to this topic without depth of Anglican study.
The Appalachian Anglican podcast has been fruitful.
@@j897xce Thank you for this. On the contrary, if I may say so, I am sure that you are far more learned that I am in these matters. My point was this - and really you re-enforce it - that very many of us "three wheel" (birth, marriage and death) Anglicans, have very little idea of GAFCON and other movements, very little idea of what distinguishes traditional Anglicanism and what makes it so valuable, so beautiful.
If you are concerned with the discord in the C of E, you could try a Free Church of England church. They will be more traditional orthodox Anglican. The Anglican church has a rich history and wonderful liturgy. As a new Anglican I am loving it.
@@patriottex4813There’s not many of those churches around though.
I understand the problem. I drive 45 miles to attend my Anglican ACNA church here in Texas. I pray God will bless your efforts to seek him, and show you where to attend church.
As a former Catholic and now High Church Protestant (discerning between Lutheranism and Anglicanism) this video has been extremely helpful in my journey.
What got you to question the claims of Catholicism? This is a topic I’m currently investigating.
@danielkulju9836 I will always be thankful for my journey into Catholicism from Atheism, but I have started questioning a lot of my earlier assumptions about the Roman Church.
First, the good stuff, I think it's a Christian Church and that all faithful Catholics will be saved by Our Lord. Now the bad: The unity they adore talking about really isn't there, only in theory. Also, exaggerations in the Magisterium's consistency of teaching completely contradict the central dogma of infallibility.
@@danielkulju9836 The Biblical doctrine of Justification is rejected by the Catholic Church.
Anglican is honestly the best option for a former Catholic. I personally would try to find a Episcopal Church that is not liberal(easiest way is through Redeemed Zoomer’s map) as it will be the most traditional and more what you are used to. If you can’t do ACNA. Lutherans are not as similar to Catholics as you think.
@@candyclews4047Why do you say that? The Catholic Church created the Bible, Luther added words and removed books. Why do you take the Holy Scriptures away from The Church and recreate your own interpretations to use against The Church? 🙏Thank you.
Great arguments. I would probably attend a more "orthadox" Anglican church is there was one nearby, but I am lucky enough to have a beautiful Episcopal Church in my neighborhood. I'm a new Christian so I feel so grateful to have a wonderful church close by. The liturgy is so moving to me. I definitely don't leave church on Sunday with the feeling that Christ is optional. God be with you.
As a member of the Church of the Nazarene (one of Anglicanism's grandchildren, through John Wesley) and as a Prayer Book Christian, I enjoyed this very much.
Got yourself a new subscriber.
I love my Anglican church. We are APA Anglican, and trace our rots to the early or Old Catholic church of the Land in England. Going back to the first century, when England was still a part of the Roman Empire. The monasteries were central to the communities. When the king destroyed them, they did not just disappear. Our liturgy is a beautiful mass, we use the 1928 Prayer Book.
Why does everyone have this mindset of, "my church is better than your church?"
No one in the bible asked what church to join, but instead asked in Acts 16 "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
Do you know who asked God what church to join? Joe Smith. Everyone right now is obsessed with apostolic succession and being a part of the right religious institution, but no one is asking the most practical common sense question that the jailer asked Paul and Silas. The answer to that question was also simple:
Acts 16:31
“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
Thank you for this video - it is good to finally see something positive being presented about Anglicanism! I am a New Zealander, and descend from English Anglican families dating from Henry VIII’s establishment of the church; ten generations of Anglican priests! So it is well and truly in my blood! I made my own decision of faith aged 16 within an Anglican church, and always find I connect best to God through our liturgy, and the quietness and calm of our worship. I always felt proud of our umbrella of faith that I was taught during my confirmation, allowing for diversity within unity (although nowadays I do feel concerned how far from Biblical and traditional church teachings we seem to be straying). I loved the writings of C S Lewis, and John Stott, et al, and they shaped my faith as I grew into adulthood. I benefitted from reading why Lewis chose Anglicanism over Catholicism, which Tolkein hoped he would embrace. So thank you for working to encourage those of us who have loved being Anglican, but can feel discouraged and a little lost in today’s confusion within Anglicanism.
Why did Henry VIII found Anglicanism? Lust.
Great video. My dad’s side is Anglican in Barbados. I’m Anglican in Canada.
Anglicans and other protestants mistakenly believe they celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. No they don’t! Catholic and Orthodox only celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. In John 6 Jesus Christ asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood for compelling reasons. Later, at the Lord’s Supper, Jesus Christ showed us how to obey His request to eat and drink of Him via blessed bread and wine that has miraculously become His flesh and His blood. The 39 articles of the Church of England calls this “wicked” and “repugnant”. Please read the core relevant passages on the Lord's Supper
John 6:51-56
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.”
John 6:60-68 excerpts
60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? …64 But among you there are some who do not believe.”… 64 For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe…. 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Note: The disbelieving Jews clearly understood that Jesus was speaking plainly by the plainly speaking reply of “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” These disbelieving Jews refused to accept that Jesus Christ could give us His flesh and blood to eat and drink and they turned their backs on Him.
Mark 14:22-24 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
22 While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
1 Corinthians 10:15-16 - St Paul
15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 11:19 -20 & 29 - St Paul
19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper… 29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves.
Catholic and Orthodox Pastors only have received the Sacrament of Holy Orders from a Bishop of Apostolic Succession. Therefore protestant Pastors do not have the faculty to consecrate the bread and wine to become the body and blood of Jesus Christ so they remain bread and wine. Our one true God is most gracious and wise and one should lovingly accept His divine gift because “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jesus Christ).
If you want to obey God and partake of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ then be Catholic or Orthodox.
God bless you
I learned about your channel from Barely Protestant, glad to see another Anglican channel out there.
Father Brett Murphy has a good Anglican news channel too.
Thanks for the video. I've been secular for the last ten years. Long depressing sorry I don't want to go into. But basically I watched the lion the witch and the wardrobe and it just made me really want to try again and my journey brought me to the Anglican Church. 😊 I like the Anglican Church is unique and wonderful because it is gentle and flexible and that makes it perfect for someone like me that comes from a very rough strict unhealthy background and needs that room and flexibility.
I just joined an ACNA after the split in the UMC. I don’t know why I had not earlier moved my letter. I am deeply moved every time by the liturgy.
Well said brother. I am new to Anglican churches ( ACNA) and I love it. The litugy is an attraction to me. I believe it has made me more mindful and successful in my daily walk, but I have a long way to go. I am trying to do the daily office each day. I also think it is making me more bold about my fairh too. Great job on this video.
Thank you for this Reformed Zoomer has been a big help for me to untangle alot of knots and he led me to your channel. I English and have been going to an Anglican church for over a year. I am happy to tell you that in May of this year I will be making my confirmation.

Praying and hoping Anglicans and Anglican parishioners keep studying their Bible and ro compare it to their doctrines
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
If you are a Anglican, know that even your ministers know that you are worshipping on the Catholic day of worship (Sunday) and not the Biblical Day of worship (Sabbath Exod 20: 8-11).⁷
“Many people think that Sunday is the Sabbath, but neither in the New Testament nor in the early church, is there anything to suggest that we have any right to transfer the observance of the seventh day of the week to the first. The Sabbath was and is Saturday and not Sunday…” Rev. Lionel Beere, Church and People, September 1, 1947.
To worship on Sunday is to be under the Pope's Mark; Catholicism boldly proclaim that Sunday is the Lord's day because THEY wanted it to be (The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1957 p50) ; which is not based on Scripture and which breaks the 4th Commandment where God tells us to worship Him on His Day which is the Sabbath (Exo 20:8-11).l,
Catholicism BOASTS that protestants have no good reason for worshipping on Sunday - they ought to keep Sabbath as Saturday if they follow their Bible (John Gilmary Shea, American Catholic Quarterly Review 1883). One cannot compromise, its either Sunday under Catholic law or Sabbath under God's law , even God warns us we cannot serve God and mammon (Luke 16:13)
Talking with an Eastern Orthodox friend last evening, an accurate nom de Guerre for faithful Anglican stuff occurred to me: "Western Orthodox..." 💖 😍

I was raised Anglicans but been having my doubts n switching to Catholic or orthodox this channel has helped me with information
The Ordinariate of the Catholic Church IS the answer. It is fully-Catholic and has Anglican patrimony. To be a member of Jesus Christ's Catholic Church is to be in union with the successor of St. Peter. There is good reason so many Anglican/Episcopalian bishops and priests have chosen the Ordinariate.
St. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage
“The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18-19]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he should desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]
“There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering” (Letters 43[40]:5 [A.D. 253]
St. Optatus, bishop of Milevus
“In the city of Rome the episcopal chair was given first to Peter; the chair in which Peter sat, the same who was head-that is why he is also called Cephas [‘Rock’]-of all the apostles, the one chair in which unity is maintained by all. Neither do the apostles proceed individually on their own, and anyone who would [presume to] set up another chair in opposition to that single chair would, by that very fact, be a schismatic and a sinner. . . . Recall, then, the origins of your chair, those of you who wish to claim for yourselves the title of holy Church” (The Schism of the Donatists2:2 [A.D. 367]
St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo
“There are many other things which most properly can keep me in her [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house” (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]
I have been at Anglican Churches for the last 30 years because I did kind of fall into it. I first started going to an Anglican Church because I needed to change from church I was at and while I had friends at a few other local churches the one that was more local and teaching me the Bible well was Anglican. Then a few years later I went to visit a friend who was starting a new congregation, he asked for feedback and suddenly I had a job to help implement my suggestions the next week. This church also happened to Anglican but much less established so in greater need of help and lots of brand new Christians so I ended up there simply because that was were I could best use my gifts to help.
I left Episcopaganism a few years ago. When a church capitulates its values to those of the secular culture it's no longer following Christ. It's following the lost.
Bonus points for using the word Episcopaganism.

@@Onlyafool172 If you think the gender of your minister is important, you’ve lost the plot.
@@anonnymouse554 its biblical, ans even in OT all priests are Male, because priesthood is fatherhood, a woman cannot be a priest not because she is less than a man, but because a woman cant be a father, the same way a man cant be a mother, Because priests are visibly actors of the love of God who is reffered to as a Father, thats why no apostle was a woman, furthermore the earlh church never ordained woman, also his church is his bride, and bishops are married to The church, thats why no bishop can be married, and the Church is female as rev 12 shows
You are correct about the Episcopal church and probably most of the church of England. However, the majority of Anglicans in the world, I have heard as much as 80%, have rejected the progressive trend, and either maintained or returned to orthodox Christianity. For example, in the United States, the Anglican church in North America broke off from the Episcopalians because of the very reasons you state.
Anglican youtubers: Have pictures of beautiful historic cathedrals all over their videos, then proceed to encourage everyone to leave those old historic cathedrals and join the ACNA which has fewer cathedrals than the PCA. (I'm just messing with you, love your stuff)
If you are curious, I would say the ACNA has the best per capita record with the construction of new cathedrals in the short time it has existed. Look for example at St. Peter's in Tallahassee

Wonderful talk. I am an English Anglican and very interested in Celtic Christianity. In my opinion the Reformation took us back to the Pre-Papacy era of the Christians in my country (Synod of Whitby in 664 AD was when we came under the yoke of Rome, sadly). Thank you for mentioning the Celtic Christians.

Sending this to everyone I know
I was raised in an Evangelical non denominational church. While they taught the Bible and are a devout bunch, I feel disconnected, and am searching for a denomination when I leave my home.
As a former evangelical charismatic, I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to tradition, liturgy, and ritual. Was looking into Orthodoxy, but I can't get past the icons. Just started looking into Anglicanism so I found this helpful. One thing I'm not clear on is what the ACNA says for female pastors/priests.
It depends on which diocese you are in. Many do not ordain women, while some allow for it.

Wonderful video. Thank you.
While I attend aGlobal Methodist church. I see myself as Anglican. Just a Methodist Anglican.
I have all that plus the Truth in Catolicism, thank you
Thank you for this. As an Anglican priest, I agree that we downplay what we have and allow others to define us. However, I never think of myself as a Protestant, a term you use. I am a Catholic (big C), but not Roman, just as the Orthodox are Catholic, but not Roman. The headship of the Pope is not essential to Catholicity, although the Creeds, Apostolic Succession and the threefold ministry of bishop, priest, and deacon are. But it is true that Anglicans have Reformation elements, such as the importance of scripture, but retained all the Catholic things that matter. The Anglican emphasis on Word and Sacrament, as well as allowing more latitude in thought and practice make Anglicanism more adaptable, but may not appeal to people who want inflexible authority. I see this as a strength.
To be clear, I am a Canadian, where the term “Anglican” means the mainstream Anglican Church in communion with Canterbury. I am aware that some Americans use the term “Anglican” to mean the opposite. In the US, the Episcopal Church is the one in communion with Canterbury.
If I am going to be an "Anglican", I'll be joining an ordinariate as a Catholic.
Watching this video this morning led me to visit my local Episcopal Church. 😊
The local ACNA church is two counties away, and the local APA church is too "Catholic" for my taste. Also, they only have one service, and it was too early.
I'm a conservative evangelical Anglican, but attended our local parish Mass when I can attend.
My wife and I are considering Rome, but I think Anglicanism (in the orthodox way) is amazing
Reedemed zoomer is liberal who said that he would rather have woman pastor if she gave him sacraments as accepted, when i heared that i closed his film. He preach that egalitarianism is not dela-breaker, it is. No compromise and no liberalisation under mask of "conservatiwness"
Love your stuff man!
I used to go to the Episcopal Church with my grandpa when I was young. I've been enjoying studying about Eastern Catholics. I would love to attend an orthodox Anglican Church. 🕯️⛪
Currently figuring out between Anglicanism and Lutheranism-they seemed so similar that I wasn’t sure which, but I feel like the Apostolic Succession is a very strong argument that pushes me in favor of Anglicanism
Sorry, I sent that by mistake. The reason I ask is because I have an affinity for both Anglicanism and Orthodoxy. I know that the Antiochian Orthodox Church is establishing Western Rite congregations in the US. Would you ever consider that over Anglicanism? If not, why?
Thirty-three years ago, when I was in the process of converting from Judaism to Roman Catholicism, an Anglican acquaintance tried to persuade me to become Anglican. I asked him, "What's that?" He briefly explained to me the history of it. My question to him was, "Why would I want to join a church that was founded by someone who wanted a divorce?"
Of course, I did NOT become Anglican. I joined the Church that Jesus Himself founded and I'm staying there.
I’m Jewish but why the hell would you choose to leave Judaism for this Avodah Zarah?
Jesus is our Messiah.
I wanted to be in the Church Jesus founded.
First of all, Anglicanism was not founded on a divorce. The Church of England existed before the Reformation. After Henry VIII came Edward VI and Mary I. Mary I, Bloody Mary, forced the Church of England into communion with Rome. The final break did not occur till twelve years into the reign of Elizabeth I, the year 1570. In 1560 Pope Pius IV was even willing to allow the 1559 Book of Common Prayer in exchange for recognition of papal jurisdiction.🤔
Overall well done. You should perhaps do some more research and inquiry concerning the issue of baptismal regeneration.
I agree on many points of your reasons why we should be Anglican. I think it is great to see someone to defend the faith that I chose and was baptised many years ago. At the same time, I am concerned about how Episcopal church has embraced LGBT community and how it conflicts with the Christian faith. I wonder if your reason number 2 could also be the downfall of the faith. We definitely need more videos like this for the Anglican faith. Thanks

Can you interview Matthew Joyner a former EO priest who becomes an Anglican?
I suggest you study Gavin Ashenden.
@@royquick-s5n Ashenden is unhappy with the pontiff and happy to be in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church does not recognize the validity of Holy Orders in the Anglican church as being the same thing as the Catholic Church, there are no priestesses in the Catholic Church for instance. As far as leaving the Catholic Church or even leaving an investigatory class in catechesis, that has been going on since Jesus said His body was real food and half left, and since Judas got his money, so nothing new in people having closed minds or in betrayal. Henry was quite aware of what he was doing when he left.
One can criticize the pope and things in the Catholic Church and still be a very good Catholic, in fact at times speaking out is rather a duty. There have been good popes and bad popes and all kinds in between, intrigue and sin are not new, the office of pope, is Divinely instituted for the purposes of leadership and unity. Abortion is a grave evil, contraception is a sin, except among those outside the Catholic Church, they claim otherwise and there are as many teachings that run contrary to one another as there are particles of sand on a beach, in other words NO authority exists to teach outside the Catholic Church, none. It is self-evident that there is no authority outside the Catholic Church because there is a continual seeking of agreement on what the actual Truth IS, but nobody there to state it. It is a failed experiment no matter how many attempts are it have been made.
Scandal and sin and pride divide the body of Christ and at this point today many who claim the title of Christian are in fact anything but Christian, many who claim to be Catholic are anything but Catholic. This is true not merely among public figures, but among the lay people, and prelates as well.
I can attest to the authenticity of the Catholic Church since I have indeed experienced those actions of Jesus and the saints which have always and everywhere been exhibited in a completely Catholic manner and which would run contrary to all in not most Protestant teachings. God is quite Catholic in His manner.
I m Roman Catholic and i am eagerly awaiting my Anglican Devine Worship of Daily Office (Common Wealth edition). I understand it shows some of the beauty of Catholicism that Rome lost when the English left. I believe it was only in the last 10-15 years that the Vatican approved it for us to use for daily worship.
Peace be with you, my seperated brother. Hope you have a fantastic 4th of July.
I hope you can reconsider this 😢
Some Catholic Writings are anti-Bible.
For example
Decretals, epistolae decretales, are papal letters that have a claim to universal validity and clarify questions of Church law.
The Roman Decretalia states the Pope can pronounce sentences and judgments in contradiction to the right of nations, and to the law of God and man .... He can free himself from the commands of the apostles, he being their superior, and from the rules of the Old Testament,”
“The pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.”-Decretal de Translat. Episcop. Cap.
The Catholic 10 Commandments found in Catechisms Sections 2052 -2557 are DIFFERENT to God's 10 Commandments found in Exodus 20.
There are other practices they hold onto which is not Biblical
Praying to Saints or for saints is a form of necromancy.
Idolatary is practised in Catholicism despite what the Bible teaches:
@@xXBlessedXxii you are incorrect. If you are serious about learning the truth behind these practices I will share a link or two.

I find the obligation of unification in secondary theological issues are really disturbing me,just like in Roman Catholicism and Lutheranism.I agree with the usage of Deuterocanonical books as Scriptures and 7 Sacraments with Roman Catholicism,and I agree with the 5 Solas with Lutheranism.However,I have been worrying for a long time trying to fit into something I do not agree with in their denominations.Now I find a Anglican church locally here in France,and I personally think Anglicanism is fit for me.Please,Pray for me,my sisters and brothers.Soli Deo Gloria.

There isn’t an acna church where I live. But there are a few Episcopal churches and one Anglican Catholic Church which about 5 minutes form my house. What do you think about ACC?
I have no problems with the ACC. I would encourage you to check them out!
@@Young_Anglican thank you
Sincere question, Why do you stand on the hill of the Reformation? 🙏 Thank you
I wish I could be anglican, but there is no parish in my city... I also don't want to go to a catholic cjhurch. I guess I'll settle for a Lutheran church...
They have similar prayerbook and church year. It is a good option.
I am currently seeking a liturgical church. I’m torn between Anglican and Catholic. I read tonight that when Elizabeth the first took over she got rid of all her fathers catholic priests (who were now Anglican) and replaced them with people of her choosing. Have you researched this and found it to be false or is this true? And if it’s true how is there apostolic succession? I’d love for someone to provide me an answer to this. Thank you and God bless.
Well done, persuasive. I understand the reasons for the ACNA, but fracturing the weak Anglican tradition in the United States is regrettable. The Episcopal Church did not divide, for example, over slavery in the 19th so why now? Your arguments also suggest that a union with Rome, as we had all anticipated in the early 1970s, should be our objective. I will not live to see it, but I hope that these beautiful and inspiring traditions will find a way to join each other.
The one issue that the Anglican Church has to deal with, is the ordination of women priests and the consecration of female bishops. Doesn't this separate the Anglican Church from like the Catholic/Orthodox? Doesn't this mean that AS has been lost?
This is a genuine question. They fought so hard for it against the Pope in Apostolicae Curae, then wrecked it through their own hubris. There is an organised Society in the CoE which refuses the Eucharistic from priestesses and will maintain AS but it is a vilified small group.
@@LeoRegumThere are at least 38 provinces throughout the world. The largest one, the province of Nigeria, does not permit WO. There are others as well. It is not some tiny minority
I'm anglican by heart, I like liturgy, serious ceremonies, anthems, but I have two difficulties, like a spanish, I do not recognize the king of England, and I can't congregate , in my zone there is nothing similar, like presbiterian, similar.

Outside of England, the King of England has no role in Anglicanism. But the rest is unfortunate! I know there are some lustianian churches with Mozarabic Rite in Iberia but probably not that many. I'll pray for you brother!

After being an Episcopalian, then a low church Anglican, my family has found the Orthodox Anglican church.
I was part of the ACNA and left because 1/2 the congregation didn't believe Adam was a real person, the bishop was a carismatic, and they kept wanting to ordain women. Confessional Lutheranism has been so much better.
I like Anglicanism for its ecumenism and humility around the non-essentials. For the Eucharist, traditional denominations all agree essentially that 1) Jesus said it *is* His body and blood 2) Empirically, the bread and wine don't *seem* to become chunks of meat and blood.
Since Jesus didn't specify 'how', it's a mystery including different theories that we can't be certain about unless God lets us know, thus it's more important to focus on the 'what' and 'why' of the Eucharist; Jesus is as present as He needs to be. I can worship to a liturgy adapted to my language with an apostolic episcopate that doesn't miss the 'filioque'.
I like being able to choose between high and low churches (I go out of my way to worship at the mediaeval church in my town) that are still in one Communion, we're still brothers in Christ. The Reformation had good points, yet I'm wary of throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater.
You got it dude
The second I mention Anglican, people jump straight to "That church was started by Henry the VIII who split off because he wanted a divorce!" It's so annoying lol
I've got a recent video for that one lol

One vital area the ACNA seems to have no regulatory disciplinary desire to correct, are that the seperate dioceses have the freedom to ordain and install women priests.
It seems Anglicanism is the same on predestination and election as Calvin but Lutheranism sees predestination and election different. I ame I seeing if Anglicanism holds to limited atonement or do they have an objective justification view like Lutherans ?
If you weren’t Anglican, what would you be?
Probably Eastern Orthodox or Lutheran

@Lepewhi some Lutheran Churches maintained apastolic succesion. The Sweedish Lutherans being one example. I'm not Lutheran myself bur what you need to keep in mind is that after the reformation you had plenty of Bishops who had hands placed on them ending up on the reformed side and a few churches maintained that succesion to this day.
What Anglican denomination do you yourself belong to?
Edit: lol just got to the part where you said your part of the ACNA

Anglicans and other protestants mistakenly believe they celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. No they don’t! Catholic and Orthodox only celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. In John 6 Jesus Christ asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood for compelling reasons. Later, at the Lord’s Supper, Jesus Christ showed us how to obey His request to eat and drink of Him via blessed bread and wine that has miraculously become His flesh and His blood. The 39 articles of the Church of England calls this “wicked” and “repugnant”. Please read the core relevant passages on the Lord's Supper
John 6:51-56
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.”
John 6:60-68 excerpts
60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? …64 But among you there are some who do not believe.”… 64 For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe…. 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Note: The disbelieving Jews clearly understood that Jesus was speaking plainly by the plainly speaking reply of “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” These disbelieving Jews refused to accept that Jesus Christ could give us His flesh and blood to eat and drink and they turned their backs on Him.
Mark 14:22-24 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
22 While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
1 Corinthians 10:15-16 - St Paul
15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 11:19 -20 & 29 - St Paul
19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper… 29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves.
Catholic and Orthodox Pastors only have received the Sacrament of Holy Orders from a Bishop of Apostolic Succession. Therefore protestant Pastors do not have the faculty to consecrate the bread and wine to become the body and blood of Jesus Christ so they remain bread and wine. Our one true God is most gracious and wise and one should lovingly accept His divine gift because “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jesus Christ).
If you want to obey God and partake of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ then be Catholic or Orthodox.
God bless you
The Anglican Churches doctrinal emphasis is incarnational which is reflected in its liturgical worship and spills out into its theology. The 20th Century Archbishop of Canterbury Micheal Ramsey from a High Church perspective embodied this idea of incarnational believe this was shown not just in the way he worshipped but in his preaching and writing. Whilst, on the more Protestant side Archbishop Donald Coggan in his preaching gave emphasis to incarnational theology. You will not find in the Church of Rome such overall emphasis on incarnational doctrine nor in the Prostant Churches either.
Which Bible translation do most Anglican churches use? I’ve been curious about Anglicanism and found this video and now I’m more curious!
It definitely depends on the country. The King James was originally the Anglican translation of course but today I find that in America the ESV is popular as well as the NRSV.
@@Young_Anglican thank you for responding! I appreciate it!
I am interested in the episcopal church. What is a good resource that outlines their theological positions ?
The episcopal church does not have theological positions anymore. I am in the Anglican Church in North America. You can be a minister or even a bishop in the Episcopal church and not believe in God.

@@kylepetruzziello3321 Confessional Lutheranism. (LCMS if you are in the US)
@@Young_Anglican thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, the LCMS church in my area doesn’t look much different than the non-denom I’m currently attending.

Then the next suggestion is Lutheran or something of the sort, and it’s a similar issue.
I know that Catholic Church has records as to what bishop ordained what bishop. You mention that the Anglican Church can trace its own apostolic succession. Can you give specific references to those publications or lists? Thanks.

Anglicans must courageously reject sola scrittura and....many errors would be automatically removed....also 5 year Lambeth Conf discussing and rewording 39 Articles....now is the time guys!!!!
The biggest reason not to be … church founded by a king who wanted a divorce that proceeded to execute any who would not bend their knee to him as being head of his own church.
This is not what Jesus said would happen to his church in the bible
I cannot find an Anglican church in my area that outwardly adheres to the 39 Articles and the uses the Authorized Version of the Bible.
What modern Bible is as accurate as the KJV? What words in the KJV that are too hard for you to understand? The 39 articles would be an evidence to me that a particular Anglican church is reformed and not a result of the Oxford Movement. I believe in Predestination, Election and Limited Atonement.
The Anglican church has really changed since 1611
When i became Roman Catholic for 10 years i felt like i carried on my back the iron rod of papal Infallibility and roman dogma. They force you into scrupulosity and it becomes tiresome. Rome is a courthouse. When i came back to Anglo-catholicism i finally got my relationship with jesus and his holy mother back.
Why was it so heavy, so scrupulous....curious!!??
You have no relationship with his holy mother. She is dead. You have a relationship with a demon
You wanted something light/ lite
Praying and hoping Anglicans and Anglican parishioners keep studying their Bible and to compare it to their doctrines
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
If you are a Anglican, know that even your ministers know that you are worshipping on the Catholic day of worship (Sunday) and not the Biblical Day of worship (Sabbath Exod 20: 8-11).⁷
“Many people think that Sunday is the Sabbath, but neither in the New Testament nor in the early church, is there anything to suggest that we have any right to transfer the observance of the seventh day of the week to the first. The Sabbath was and is Saturday and not Sunday…” Rev. Lionel Beere, Church and People, September 1, 1947.
To worship on Sunday is to be under the Pope's Mark; Catholicism boldly proclaim that Sunday is the Lord's day because THEY wanted it to be (The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1957 p50) ; which is not based on Scripture and which breaks the 4th Commandment where God tells us to worship Him on His Day which is the Sabbath (Exo 20:8-11).l,
Catholicism BOASTS that protestants have no good reason for worshipping on Sunday - they ought to keep Sabbath as Saturday if they follow their Bible (John Gilmary Shea, American Catholic Quarterly Review 1883). One cannot compromise, its either Sunday under Catholic law or Sabbath under God's law , even God warns us we cannot serve God and mammon (Luke 16:13)
1 Corinthians 16:2
“Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.”
Acts 20:7
“And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.”
The Roman Catholic cult didn't start this tradition.
@@xXBlessedXxii why are you copying and pasting this onto all the anglican videos you can find. Are you Catholic or are you S.D.A?
Aren’t any Anglicans or Episcopalians concerned about the decline of adherents? I mean, Catholic Churches might be sacrament factories but at least they’re full
How can you claim apostolic succession while repudiating the Archbishop of Canterbury as Gafcon and others do? It's sort of a sedevacantist point of view similar to SSPX in Catholicism.
"Anglicanism" is historically English under the bishopric of Canterbury. Or can it be argued that the dissenting churches are more like ROCOR during the period of the USSR?
In that case, the term "Anglican" would have to be modified to make a distinction from the Canterbury communion.
Anglicanism is English faith... not "English under the bishopric of Canterbury"... Anglicanism is not defined by the Archbishop of Canterbury... nor has it ever been, we're not the Roman Church... and the Archbishop of Canterbury is not a Pope of Canterbury... his just the *Archbishop* of Canterbury.
*"Anglicanism’s chief glory is to present and embody the faith of the church catholic-downwind of the Reformation, with a robust understanding of justification by faith in tow-in such a way that Anglicans may be confident that they are adhering to the same apostolic teaching and inhabiting the same ecclesial order as their earliest forebears in the faith did. . . . We are distinctive precisely by aiming not to be distinctive. Our theology is the theology of the early church, the era of the Fathers, the best of the medieval world and the Reformation-all set decently on the table in our prayer book and other formularies."*
That is what Anglicanism is.
How much emphasize would you put on the importance of apostolic succession for valid sacraments? The Church of Sweden and Church of Finland have apostolic succession as well, but there has never been a great emphasize put on it - it's a "good order", but nothing beyond that. If you don't think apostolic succession is necessary for valid sacraments, then what is the point emphasizing it?
I think enough emphasis is established in scripture that the Apostles were given the authority to bind and loose earthly things in heaven and heavenly things on earth. The sacraments seem to fit the bill. I won't argue it is explicit in scripture, or that the Anglican interpretation is from God, but in my opinion if there is any hint that it might be required I think it is safe to say it is important and good to have. If it is possible that the sacraments otherwise administered are in anyway inferior, then Apostolic Succession would be important in that sense. Additionally Apostolic Succession is not only about the Sacraments, but also about knowing definitively where the visible Church at least begins.
I believe Luther mocks the idea in his "Babylonian Captivity" treatise. He says it's a useful ecclesiastical convention and nothing more.
In my opinion, it deserves to be mocked as a superstition - at least in the crude way it's often held to, where the Apostles are seen as passing on some magic power by the laying on of hands needed to make the sacraments "valid", and where the ecclesiastical hierarchy takes on the look of a monarchical or aristocratic dynasty, in which the Spirit is being passed down like a genetic bloodline. This is pure superstition in my opinion and turns the Christian priesthood into a decadent Brahmin caste like the Hindus have. It's totally unnecessary and makes a mockery of the priesthood and the sacraments it's trying to protect.
The Apostolic Succession spoken of by Church fathers like St. Irenaeus is about establishing one's claim to orthodoxy by proximate links to the Apostolic faith, against the Gnostic heretics St. Irenaeus was combatting who claimed invisible authorities and traditions for themselves nobody had ever heard of...
In my opinion, any pastor who has been truly called by God and who preaches the orthodox faith and rightly administers the sacraments has the "keys" of authentic Apostolic succession. The ecclesiastical convention of elder Bishops laying hands on younger Bishops is just an outward sign of this; useful but not necessary.
Mark 9:38-40 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us." But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is for us.
Can you recommend an 'Early Church Fathers' book? (I have a Catholic one but it is very biased towards that faith and seems to cherry pick).
You wouldn't happen to be talking about the Jurgens set would you?
That's because the Early Church Fathers were all Catholic. The Assyrian Church of the East was started in 431 by schismatics. The Oriental Orthodox was later started by schismatics. Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church in 33 A.D. and it is lead by the successor of St. Peter.
The Ordinariate of the Catholic Church IS the answer. It is fully-Catholic and has Anglican patrimony. To be a member of Jesus Christ's Catholic Church is to be in union with the successor of St. Peter. There is good reason so many Anglican/Episcopalian bishops and priests have chosen the Ordinariate.
St. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage
“The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18-19]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he should desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]
“There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering” (Letters 43[40]:5 [A.D. 253]
St. Optatus, bishop of Milevus
“In the city of Rome the episcopal chair was given first to Peter; the chair in which Peter sat, the same who was head-that is why he is also called Cephas [‘Rock’]-of all the apostles, the one chair in which unity is maintained by all. Neither do the apostles proceed individually on their own, and anyone who would [presume to] set up another chair in opposition to that single chair would, by that very fact, be a schismatic and a sinner. . . . Recall, then, the origins of your chair, those of you who wish to claim for yourselves the title of holy Church” (The Schism of the Donatists2:2 [A.D. 367]
St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo
“There are many other things which most properly can keep me in her [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house” (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]
This is my opinion sidism.
Infact I said these words on redeemed zoomer's channel but i'll quote myself.
I side with Anglicanism.
"God never appoints popes but kings,
That individualistic communities should exist with our own agency but that we need traditional and hierarchical structure to exist so that we have order and theology.
Tradition helps us with Christian lore and rules but that individualism enough that faith helps us with the faith and grace of Christ.
New testament saves.
But law is still sovereignty. I believe in old testament law as kingdom sovereignty but it does not grant me grace of salvation. Only Christ does.
But rather articulates my obedience to authority which is God the father.
As i liken the Normans as a people of laws and therefore old testament but with a Anglo-Saxon identity where God gave us Britain similar to God giving Israel to the Israelites. And so that we chose faith."
it's how it makes sense to me.
I treat the role of Judaism of old as to begot Christ and see Anglicanism as the fruit.
God did the Jews they served now go Anglican through the English.
No I am not promoting chosen people racial supremacism I reject that as a heresy.
I see that traditions and rituals of faith confirm our identity and conform our doctrinal edicts whilst also everything you said which I also agree.
We need incentives to study the bible and even the apocrypha but without viewing said apocrypha as scripture just guideline a lesser authority. Which isn't a universal anglican view this is my view.
I believe pre Christ had Temple tradition and Judaism.
while post Christ had the Anglican church and Anglicanism.
The British empire and it's Anglosphere offshoots being the U.S, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain export a large empire and sphere of influence allowing Methodists, and Baptists who come from Anglican tradition and Anglicans ourselves into proselytizing/proselytization.
The Spectrum of Anglicanism is from "Anglo-Catholicism" to more communal "Anglo-Reformationist" we are middle ground of traditional and reform/change and I like that.
Anyone can be Anglican, Jew or Greek or Ishmaelite or Israelite or English etc.
We have traditions that teach our theology to help our temple the Anglican church of london represent christ while like protestants we build our incentive christian zeal of missionary work.
As I said some of my theology isn't necessarily replacement theology, I don't think Jews are necessarily obsolete or some antisemitic ideas like that.
Rather I see the third temple as the Anglican church and have this chosen people theology as now applied to Britain.
The Israelites were born from Israel, moved into Canaan from somewhere else. And Christ went through that lineage, and the Israelite temples and Davidic line with Israelite holy land in Canaan which taught God and Law to gentile Levantine nations surrounding Israel.
Now we had the complete faith of Anglicanism as the successor of Anglicans,
That Angles and Saxons were chosen by God to go to Britain, Our patriarch Angul,
his descendants went to Britain, became England, and God flourished England to parallel with the Israelites so that Anglican faith finds fertile development in Britain.
The Briton apostates we conquered are like our Canaanites, we are like the Israelites, and the Anglican church formed from Anglo-Saxons. And then like the Aramaean pagans challenging the faith of the Israelites, the Vikings challenged the Anglo-Saxon christians,
Now to clarify my beliefs, I neither believe Anglo-Saxons are Israelites or replacers of Israel.
I am not anti or pro zionist or replacement covenant that supercedes Israel.
I merely believe the Anglican church is like the Christian version of judaism with some parallels.
King of England akin to king of Israel,
And the Canterbury Cathedral Is the third temple.
We have slight bible disagreement intra denominational debate into semi sects of Anglicanism, a reform branch and conservative almost Anglo-catholic branch,
reminiscent of Sadducees and Pharisees of Judaism, Zealots of Judaism being like Puritans in England and Baptists that fell out of Anglicanism is like Essenes.
So with these parallels I have my Historian reason for Anglicanism.
But I also likewise exactly think like you in doctrine and belief.
So I support and agree with your Anglican articulation.
And I am ultra conservative.
I am sadden of the heretical liberals entering my faith.

I appreciate your video and your honest approach, but I think that you underestimate just how different Eastern Orthodoxy is from Anglicanism, even when it is at its closest approach to Orthodoxy: in terms of things that are so radically essential (the nature of the Eucharist) and yet are left at the level of preference in the Anglican tradition, branch theory (which the Orthodox reject), etc. But I do appreciate that you defend your tradition in terms of being "the best". Why would you subject yourself to a tradition that you felt was anything less? I'm always shocked when I hear certain Christians (particularly evangelicals) try to reduce every Christian tradition to a least-common-denominator, nobody-is-the-best sort of way, in an effort to avoid the fact that someone one must be doing Christianity in the best, most full, most perfect way. FWIW.
