One question out of curiosity: What is the PBS view on baptismal regeneration? I know that some of the language used here does seem to imply baptismal regeneration, but I've also read an Evangelical Anglican journal article saying that this language is proleptic, meaning that it is speaking of the anticipated future faith and repentance of the baptised person as if it were already present.
+Adam Newman, the Prayer Book Society seeks to promote the use and understanding of the Book of Common Prayer across a wide spectrum of churchmanship and theological outlook. We are aware that certain elements of the text are subject to varying interpretations, and we have no authority to act as a 'Magisterium', claiming to offer the definitive view. Having said that - and speaking personally here - I would say that the text of the Prayer Book (as distinct from its contemporary alternatives) is pretty clear about baptismal regeneration, and it is pushing it a bit to claim otherwise; many (but no doubt not all) members of the Society would share that view.
No! The clergyman in the photo (the Revd Paul Thomas) is still a priest of the Church of England, and indeed still Vicar of the church where this was filmed (St James' Sussex Gardens, London).
Anglican priests *really* shouldn't be called 'father'. Prior to the Reformation, ordinary secular priests (that is, priests that didn't belong to a monastic order) weren't called 'father'. Such is the case of modern Roman Catholic priests on the continent. Calling all Roman Catholic priests 'father' didn't come about in English speaking countries until after the Reformation. It's a custom that is completely foreign to Anglicanism.
@@bear_walker2006 Yes, but the office of the ministry was given exclusively to the appointed successors of the Apostles. She is heard reading the word of God, which is an act of the ministry. Even if laypersons were permitted to read Scripture in the liturgy; women are not qualified to read Scripture. St. Paul says that they must be quiet during Mass.
At once profound, mysterious, beautiful, and joyful.
Godspeed little one.
The Book of Common Prayer, 1662 reflects faithful Anglicanism. I wish many more Anglican churches around the world use this prayer book.
Agreed. I'm so very lucky to belong to a parish that uses the BCP and Authorised Version of the Holy Bible.
So touching, thank you.
During the Anointing, the Sacrament of Confirmation is given unto the Ministry of the Word and spiritual combat. Fascinating!
Anglicans have so much grace
"We're all done, little champion" is precious.
Still is, two years later.

Just curious what is the name of this beautiful church?
St James's Church, Sussex Gardens
saintly priest and anybody knows his name?
Paul Thomas, currently the Bishop of Oswestry.
Someone posted somewhere else that Fr. is now a priest of Benedict's Anglican ordinariate, am I right?

@@prudencedailey4144 Paul Thomas is now overseer in the see of Oswestry 👍🏻
@@Matibeos Yes, indeed--or at least, he soon will be! And an excellent bishop he will be.

Why is there a female pastor? Why is her hair shorn?

1. Women may read with their heads covered.
2. Reading is not an act of ministry.
If you look closely, a child was baptised in the Christian faith.
