A Brit Anglican ( no longer C of E ) VERY interested in this interview and how this appointment works out. God bless your ministry Abp Steve.
I appreciate Abp Steve's background. It's rich and it's focused.... real. Thank you for acknowledging the divisiveness and connotations of using " systemic racism".
May God grant Archbishop Wood much wisdom and spirit and physical strength to do his work for the Lord. God Bless his family and that he will have time and energy to enjoy them all. Dear Lord with you all things are possible. Thank you Father for guiding this man in the steps you have chosen for him. Amen
God Bless you, Thank you. May Archbishop Steve Wood be blessed.
Steve is my bishop and I am so excited to see how God uses him as our Archbishop.
Thanks Kevin! Now we know how to pray for the man.
@@jilliemc that was the best question that Kevin asked. Now we know how to pray.
Loved the things of his childhood and youth that he shares also with ME although I was decades ahead in age. Lutheran training and Luther's Small Catechism, Faith Alive, etc. Now I know how to talk to him, if I'm ever blessed to meet him!
Praise The Lord
This is my first visit to the channel. Nice interview with Archbishop Wood. I learned something.
God bless Archbishop Wood. He has a unique situation that hasnt really existed at any time since maybe the revolution ended. Im excited to see what happens in the ACNA. I go to an APA parish at the moment and Bishop Chad is a blessing. Pray for unity.
Praying for our new Abp Wood.
This interview is so real and different from the strange ethereal pontifications and obfuscations of most of our British bishops, whose 'Christianity' one often questions. Well done both of you.
Thank you. Great interview
Very wise regarding geographical/non geographic dioceses.
The Carolinas planted a church in our home area where there were already 5 dioceses overlapping including ADOTS. None of other Anglican clergy were consulted. When they expressed concern they were brushed off. I’m with Kevin. A hard date needs to be set. The gradual approach just means it is not being taken seriously.
Same thing in our community. A priest moved into our area from across the country, attended our parish for about a year, and then began planting with a different diocese about an hour’s drive away. Didn’t consult with us as to our future church planting plans or check in with our deanery.
I always find it remarkable that in the book Essentials where John Stott and David L. Edwards discuss key ideas such as headship it is remarkable that even if Edwards did not see himself bound by what Paul wrote, it was clear to Edwards that Paul wrote as if he expected his teaching to be of permanent and universal validity.
Great interview. Thankyou Kev and thankyou Steve Wood (praying for you both here in Oz)
I like this man's humility. Looks genuine from here - unlike some Abps I have come accross.
God Bless fr Athabasc Alberta we will pray for you
9:11 I didn't "start dating" (weird expression!) till I was 32. Some of us are a bit slow. Oh, and yes, thanks for this great interview. God is always at work.
The elephant in the room continues. If it spreads to the episcopacy, as it has with three bishops now in GAFCON, which opposed women bishops, it may be the final seal on the invalidity of Anglican orders. Are confirmations by women bishops valid? We may see from the Standing Committee of the Anglican Diocese of Fort Worth, some ACNA members do not recognize the validity of Eucharists celebrated by women priests. And are not some misleading people about reconciliation with Rome when women priests are tolerated? How do the Eastern Orthodox Churches feel about it?
Scripture is perfectly clear, women may not have authority over men. If a woman is a 'priest' in a local church, even if she is not the rector, she has authority over the men in the congregation.
@@martinploughboy988 Women have authority over men today in business, government, education, and the military. Even in the Roman Catholic Church women may hold chancery positions. In the 1st and 2nd century, it was not customary. Paul may have been concerned about preserving order in 1st and 2nd terms, not male superiority. However, in today's world, the declines in church attendance or membership where women have become clergy is telling. We are supposed to be spreading the gospel, not inhibiting it. There may be something in imagery attached with liturgical and pastor roles. I do not think anyone wants a situation similar to women attendants of a polytheistic temple, e.g. "vestal virgins," if they were that. Too, how many want the church to turn into a women's social club, of which there is a danger because of large memberships of women? Women distribute the consecrated bread and wine during communion time. It seems to be just a step from saying the prayer of consecration. Women deacons have preached from the pulpit, showing that it can be done. They may be quite effective from what I have heard.🤔
@@royquick-s5n Paul bases his argument on the Creation, that makes it binding on all Churches for all time.
@@martinploughboy988 How do you know "Paul based his argument on the Creation," not custom? Paul also wrote that women should keep their heads covered in church. Not custom? May I point out that Paul was not Jesus Christ. He was a man, perhaps on par with the apostles, not infallible, and capable of error and his own idiosyncracies. Jesus is the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity. And where do you get the idea that if Paul had based it on creation, it would be "binding on all Churches for all time"? Again, Paul is or was not God.
@@royquick-s5n We know Paul based his argument on Creation because he says so:
For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
(I Timothy 2:13-14)
As we are told:
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
(II Timothy 3:16-17)
Thus all Scripture is God's word, what God has said. It isn't just Paul's opinion, but God's, infallible & to be obeyed.
Terrell Glenn is a family friend. Wish he was my Bishop. But Steve Breedlove is an awesome Bishop.
Why does he believe that there is a priesthood for women to be appointed to? There is one local church leadership office in Scripture, the elder/overseer which is not a priest & is not open to women. Indeed, since the sacrifice was made once, for all time & that priest still lives, why would we need another priest?
Nice interview but CS40?
Bishop Hunter is retiring, so when time ran short the question did not make the cut.
Interesting that Abp Wood was brought up on the Lutheran catechism. Does he still accept the Roman/Lutheran view of the Decalogue or the Protestant or perhaps the Eastern Church or Meredith Kline?
No questions about sexual harassment and abuse?
Anglican Unscripted 868 - Interview with Archbishop Steve Wood
Congratulations to newly elected Archbishop Steve Wood of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).
Kevin Kallsen at 13:34-36: "What church father do you most align with?"
Archbishop Wood at 13:39 - 14:08: "Augustine ... I like the way he articulated faith. I like the way he laid it out. It was an extraordinary foundation. It felt like the time passed from Paul to Augustine for me, and then down to the Reformers."
Response:
1. According to the ACNA webpage What Is Anglicanism?/Beliefs/FAQs:
A. "(6.) We receive The Book of Common Prayer as set forth by the Church of England in 1662, together with the Ordinal attached to the same, as a standard for Anglican doctrine and discipline, and, with the Books which preceded it, as the standard for the Anglican tradition of worship."
[Anglican Church Net /about/#1582572862001-7775f166-5569]
B. "(7.) We receive the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion of 1571, taken in their literal and grammatical sense, as expressing the Anglican response to certain doctrinal issues controverted at that time, and as expressing the fundamental principles of authentic Anglican belief."
[Ibid]
2. According to Britannica online:
A. The article Book of Common Prayer/Anglican Liturgical Book:
"The First Prayer Book, enacted by the first Act of Uniformity of Edward VI in 1549, was prepared primarily by Thomas Cranmer, who became archbishop of Canterbury in 1533 ... in 1552 The Second Prayer Book of Edward VI was introduced. The revision made great changes in its text and ceremonies, all in a Protestant direction ... After Elizabeth I became queen in 1558, the prayer book of 1552 was restored by another Act of Uniformity (1559) ... After the Restoration (1660) a revision of the prayer book was adopted (1662), which was essentially unchanged."
[Britannica Com /topic/Book-of-Common-Prayer]
B. The article Thirty-Nine Articles/Church of England:
"Thirty-nine Articles, the doctrinal statement of the Church of England. With the Book of Common Prayer, they present the liturgy and doctrine of that church. The Thirty-nine Articles developed from the Forty-Two Articles, written by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in 1553 “for the avoiding of controversy in opinions ... A final revision by convocation in 1571 [after Cranmer's death] produced the Thirty-nine Articles, which were approved by both convocation and Parliament ...”
[Britannica Com /topic/Thirty-nine-Articles#:~:text=Thirty-nine Articles%2C the doctrinal statement of the Church,1553 “for the avoiding of controversy in opinions.”]
3. If -
A. Newly elected Archbishop Steve Wood of the ACNA, after Augustine of Hippo (354 - 430 AD) , counts the 16th century Reformers as the church fathers he most aligns with,
- and -
B. As head of the ACNA, he professes The Book of Common Prayer and its 39 Articles that were composed primarily by Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer (1489 - 1556 AD) as "a standard for Anglican doctrine and discipline" and "expressing the fundamental principles of authentic Anglican belief," respectively, according to the ACNA website,
- then -
C. Does this mean that over and above the other 16th century Reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, Archbishop Steve Wood accepts Thomas Cranmer as his personal theologian?
4. Augustine of Hippo, Against the Fundamental Epistle of Manichaeus, Chapter 4.- Proofs of the Catholic Faith, No. 5:
"For in the Catholic Church ... there are many other things which most justly keep me in her bosom. The consent of peoples and nations keeps me in the Church; so does her authority, inaugurated by miracles, nourished by hope, enlarged by love, established by age. The succession of priests keeps me, beginning from the very seat of the Apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after His resurrection, gave it in charge to feed His sheep, down to the present episcopate. And so, lastly, does the name itself of Catholic, which, not without reason, amid so many heresies, the Church has thus retained; so that, though all heretics wish to be called Catholics, yet when a stranger asks where the Catholic Church meets, no heretic will venture to point to his own chapel or house. Such then in number and importance are the precious ties belonging to the Christian name which keep a believer in the Catholic Church, as it is right they should, though from the slowness of our understanding, or the small attainment of our life, the truth may not yet fully disclose itself."
[New Advent Org /fathers/1405.htm]
Augustine, in speaking of the Catholic Church, was not speaking of the church of Rome, which at that time was only one of the local Christian churches, it certainly wasn't the seat of authority. Thus all true Christian local churches are pare of the one holy & apostolic Church of Christ.
1. Augustine of Hippo wrote the following pertaining to the episcopacy and apostolic succession: “For, if the order of succession of bishops is to be considered, how much more surely, truly and safely do we number them from Peter. To whom, as representing the whole church, the Lord said: ‘Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it’ (Mt. 16:18). For, to Peter succeeded Linus, to Linus Clement, to Clement Anacletus, to Anacletus Evaristus, to Evaristus Sixtus, to Sixtus Telesphorus, to Telesphorus Hygines, to Hyginus Anicetus, to Anicetus Pius, to Pius Soter, to Soter Alexander, to Alexander Victor, to Victor Zephyrinus, to Zephyrinus Calistus. To Calistus Urban, to Urban Pontian, to Pontian Antherus, to Antherus Fabian, to Fabian Cornelius, to Cornelius Lucius, to Lucius Stephen, to Stephen Sixtus, to Sixtus Dionysius, to Dionysius Felix, to Felix Euthychian, to Euthychian Gaius, to Gaius Marcellus, to Marcellus Eusebius, to Eusebius Melchiades, to Melchiades Sylvester, to Sylvester Marcus, to Marcus Julius, to Julius Liberius, to Liberius Damasus, to Damasus Siricius, to Siricius Anastasius.”
[Willis, John R., S.J., editor, The Teachings of the Church Fathers (Ignatius Press: San Francisco, 2002), pps. 73-74.]
2. After the bishop of Rome had approved the decisions of African ecclesial councils to excommunicate the heretics Pelagius and Celesius, Augustine of Hippo wrote the following in his Sermon 131: “Roma locuta est; causa finite est (Rome has spoken, the case is concluded).”

The primacy of the Bishop of Rome in the first millenium according to the lives and writings of the Church Fathers (Introduction)
The following are chronological examples from the lives and writings of Church Fathers from the first millenium (A) who are saints venerated by the Orthodox Church and (B) taken from Constantine N. Tsirpanlis’ book Introduction to Eastern Patristic Thought and Orthodox Theology. According to Dr. Tsirpanlis, the Church Fathers he acknowledges possess four distinguishing characteristics: “(1) Orthodoxy of doctrine, (2) holiness of life, (3) ecclesiastical approval, and (4) antiquity."
[Tsirpanlis, Constantine N., Introduction to Eastern Patristic Thought and Orthodox Theology, Theology and Life Series, 30 (The Liturgical Press: Collegeville, MN, 1991), p. 21]
But before relying on such an authority, it would be prudent to list Dr. Tsirpanlis' 'bona fides' in order to demonstrate his fidelity to Orthodoxy:
Background - Tsirpanlis, Constantine N. was born on March 18, 1935 in Kos, Greece. Came to the United States, 1957.

The primacy of the Bishop of Rome in the first millenium according to the lives and writings of the Church Fathers (Part One)
One 1st century A.D. example from the lives and writings of first millenium Church Fathers that are (A) venerated by the Orthodox Church and (B) designated as such by Constantine N. Tsirpanlis:
ST. CLEMENT, BISHOP OF ROME
From Orthodox Wikipedia: "Our father among the saints Clement of Rome (also called Clemens Romanus to distinguish him from Clement of Alexandria) was the third in succession after the Apostle Peter as bishop of Rome. Clement is known mainly for the letter he wrote to the Corinthians in about AD 96. He is counted among the apostolic fathers. His feast day is November 23 in the west, but in the east he is remembered on November 25."
In A.D. 96, Clement of Rome intervened in a Corinth church struggle by penning a Letter To The Corinthians and sending it there with his legates to resolve the dispute. It contains the following passage:
“Accept our advice and you will never regret it. For as God lives, and as the Lord Jesus Christ lives and the Holy Spirit (on whom the elect believe and hope), the man who with humility and eager considerateness and with no regrets does what God has decreed and ordered will be enlisted and enrolled in the ranks of those who are save through Jesus Christ. Through Him be the glory to God forever and ever. Amen. If, on the other hand, there be some who fail to obey what God has told them through us, they must realize that they will enmesh themselves in sin and in no insignificant danger. We, for our part, will not be responsible for such a sin.”
[Richardson, Cyril C., Th. D., D.D., editor, et al, Early Christian Fathers (Simon & Schuster: New York, 1996), p. 70]
Yes, that is exactly my stance on the ordination of women! Does not feel that there are that many of us who hold this position.
Have you ever made accommodations for any traditionalist(s)? Such as, when a priested woman was to preside at Holy Communion, made sure that there was a portion consecrated by a male priest available for those who could not in good conscience receive the bread and wine which had been consecrated by a woman?
Entouraging to see he has walked back the more objectionable parts of the BLM letter.
It seems that he has perfectly threaded the 'needle' of female priests, doesn't it? If you could come up with a better way to balance the desires of society on the one side, and the Anglican church on the other side, I'd like to know what it is.
NIce Guy. Wishy-washy/compromised on G. Floyd and female clerics. Rough waters ahead.
If you want to keep the egalitarians happy but also phase out female clergy, this seems to be the way to do it. I'd wager that very few women would put themselves as candidates there and the positions of full time ministry wouodhe even fewer
@@albertito77 There is still toleration for existence of women priests. The elephant in the room continues. Do you think for one moment Bishop Woods would say to some of his fellow bishops, your ordinations of women priests are invalid? Also, the ACNA belongs to GAFCON, which opposed women bishops, and now there are three.
I hope one day the Archbishop realises that the 'reformers' were the attackers who rejected Church Tradition and the Gospels, even though they didn't realise they did.
I always thought Episcopalian and charismatic were antonyms.
Forty, say, years ago charismatic meant that one embraced the work and power of the Holy Spirit in one's life, both personally and corporately (this was before other deceptive 'anointings' swept in and destroyed much of this new life in the church). It is only much more latterly that 'charismatic' became associated with a style of worship.
@@rolfburnie9068 I would say that, in the UK, the Charismatic Movement was initially mostly centered on CoE churches & believed in the spectacular gifts of the Spirit. As it spread, it caused quite a lot of churches to split so that Charismatic became a term of abuse. From that arose a pop song style of music that has spread widely & denuded Christian worship in many churches.
@martinploughboy988 It's important to recognise the distinction between the earlier genuine work of the Spirit, and the later counterfeit 'anointings' that mostly emanated from Toronto, Canada, and the States. The genuine was, sadly, rejected by many, and inevitably some division came as a result. The counterfeit, however, caused real chaos, with remnants of it still causing people to leave churches affected by such 'anointings'.
One might liken this difference with that of the Reformation as a genuine work of God that inevitably also led to division; and, on the other side, current 'progressive' ideas in the church (mostly around gender issues) causing chaos and division everywhere - a sure sign of ungodly origins.
@@rolfburnie9068 What we saw in the UK in the late 1960s was, in my view, counterfeit. And I viewed it from a fairly close viewpoint.
@martinploughboy988 I can't comment on what you saw as I wasn't there, but there certainly was a very beautiful work of the Spirit - scriptural and with good fruit, plus people being saved, healed and set free, etc - going on in the 70s in Canada, where I was at the time. And I witnessed a little of a genuine work of the Spirit still in the UK when I returned in 1979. There's always some dubious stuff going on, plus simple immaturity, but it was only later that the real counterfeit stuff swept in and muddied the waters so badly. But as I've said, I cannot comment on what you saw.
Not interested in having Anglican orders recognised by an unreformed RC Church.
It won't happen.
Lol....as 'reformed' in this context means 'an attack on Tradition and the Gospels' then the irony of this statement is amazing. Why would the RCC want to deform itself?
@@albertito77 - The RCC will hope it won't happen given that 'reformed' in this context means 'an attack on Tradition and the Gospels'. Why would the RCC want to deform itself?
I pray that it works. Why would you not want Christian unity?
@@blakemartin1893 because the RC church is way off the mark.
Thank you. Great interview
