Started attending and getting ready to join an ACNA church. I can from SBC. I really enjoy the focus on the liturgy and sacraments. I feel they better represent the church of the first century.

Can you make a video about Anglo-Catholics, ie those who identify with the Anglican Continuum. One of the larger churches are the Anglican Catholic Church or United Episcopal Church of North America
Can you do one on GAFCON? Part of GAFCON is outside the Anglican Communion (e.g., ACNA) and part of it is inside? Are there GAFCON churches within the Episcopal Church in the USA? It seems like some Episcopal Church dioceses have both secular post-Christian 'mainstream' churches AND traditional orthodox Anglican churches within them. Strange setup.
JI Packer who was an Anglican priest taught inerrancy and there are many Anglicans who believe in it. At the very least the majority affirm infallibility. Anglicans can be Dispensationalist since the church itself predates the debate. H. Griffith Thomas who wrote the most popular evangelical commentary on the 39 Articles and co-founded Dallas Theological Seminary was a dispensationalist. They will still ordain dispensationalists to the priesthood I know this because I know a few of them.
Catholic here. Noticed a lot of parallels of the ACNA to my church, such as, notably, infant baptism and a sacrament doctrine that somewhat parallels what we have.
Well, the Anglican Tradition sees its self as apart of the catholic chruch. In a similar way as the Orthodox Traditions, both Eastern and Oriental, do, apostolic succession sacrements and creeds alike. Just not on the Authority of Rome.
What about the ACA and at the ACC. Fees to continuing Anglican bodies may not be in existence anymore but I would like to know if they are. I have been a member it of both.
have to disagree when the video says they dont believe in the innerrancy of the bible. it is THE reason they left the episcopal church in the first place. they may have differing interpretations but they do believe it is inerrant in the original languages
They generally refer to the same thing but "ordinances" suggests "we do this in obedience to Christ" while "sacraments" suggests "these are a means of grace."
You should talk more about GAFCON, as it is 10x larger than the ACNA, I always wonder why it gets so much attention when its becoming less and less Anglican as each year passes.
Be careful with the use of the term "open table" as the Episcopal Church (TEC) defines that as the table is open to unbelievers, unbaptized, everyone, due their belief that they are welcoming, inclusive, diverse, etc. So, for most of the Episcopal Church, the table is open to atheists, Satanists, etc. ACNA refers to the table being "open" to baptized believers no matter their denominational background. Important distinction. Thanks
There are definitely many ACNA members who affirm transubstantiation. I grew up in an ACNA parish and the opinions were varied. The Anglican clergy in my view let the individual decide on that part. Many affirm every Roman Catholic belief except papal authority, with some even advocating for the Book of Common prayer to affirm all sacraments the RC church affirms. This is just my experience, though, and you’ll get a variety of opinions on this topic!
The first section of Article 6 of the 39 Articles of Religion, states and I quote, "Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation: so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of the Faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of the Holy Scripture we do understand those canonical Books of the Old and New Testament, of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church." So with regard to the ACNA not requiring to believe in the inherency of the Scriptures, yes, it is required according to the Articles. In fact, one of the very reasons the ACNA became the ACNA, is because of the denial of the inherency of Scripture within the Anglican Communion and the Episcopal Church. Because they reject the Authority of the Scriptures and the inherency thereof, the ACNA split from such, to return back to True and Historical Anglicanism. And true, we are continuing to weave out a few things, nevertheless, we strive to be as faithful to the Word of God as we can. 👍🏻
did the american revolution curtail the influence of the anglican church in america for when the colonies were founded it was by far the most represented faith/ belief/denomination in what became the usa
Yes, Samuel Seabury, the first American bishop was ordained to that office by the Episcopal Church of Scotland, not the Church of England, due to the English Church requiring an oath of loyalty to the English monarch. Many colonial Anglicans remained loyalist, though, and even returned to England after the revolution.
FYI the ACNA is not technically an Anglican church. They are not members of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The Anglican Secretary General Recently said, “It is simply not true to say that ACNA is part of the Anglican Communion. To be part of the Communion, a province needs to be in communion with the See of Canterbury and to be a member of the Instruments of the Communion. ACNA is not in communion with the See of Canterbury-and has not sought membership of the Instruments.”
Wow I can't imagine going to an Anglican Church and there not being communion every service, very interesting. I'm Catholic now but the Church I went to when I was young went from Episcopal to ACNA and it was very high Church always so I just assumed pretty much all ACNA Parishes were high Church, communion ever Sunday and Wednesday evening types, like that as well.
@@johnmiller3182 This one is the Reformed Episcopal Church, so the traditions I suppose may be a bit different. I think what it may be is that our pastor is in training. Last week when we had communion is when we had a visiting full fleged pastor.
@@jeffkardosjr.3825 Oh ok makes sense, we had a Reformed Episcopal parish about an hour from where I grew up and I always wanted to see what it was like but before I got to visit the ACNA had formed and they merged with the larger ACNA Church in that town and sold off their building so yeah don't know to much about them. Cool to know though, thanks.
To what extent? He is for the Church of England, but for how many other churches in the Angliucan communion. I am in Australia, a country which is a monarchy, and of which Charles III is the monarch. That does not mean that he has any role (other than as a worshipper) in the Anglican Church of Australia. The same applies to Canada, New Zealand and the other non-UK countries of which he is monarch.@@GitzenShiggles
These new churches seem to be the creation of clergy (bishops, priests, and deacons). How do they fill their new churches with followers and keep them?
I visited an ACNA church once. Most members seemed to be disgruntled ex-Episcopalians, with one telling me that the Episcopal church today is an apostate church. I gathered that they also see evangelism as a serious part of their mission.
My Anglican Church is 100% evangelical and charismatic. Our bishop speaks in tongues during service, our priest, etc. Even our Archbishop Foley Beach speaks in tongues. Our priests and bishop and the Archbishop do believe in a one time born again new birth experience. Many in the ANCA do. So you are not exactly right about that. I grew up in the Southern Baptist , Methodist and Assembly of God churches. I am so thankful God has brought me to the ACNA.
This wouldn’t have been a problem if the gay agenda hadn’t been pushed even though it was clearly against scripture. But it was and that’s why this all happened. Be honest about it instead of making it something that it’s not.
@biry0501 I didn’t say I’m not up in arms about the banking and finance agenda. Of course it’s corrupt. But the break that led to the ACNA was due to the Episcopal church pushing the gay agenda. The banking and finance agenda wasn’t the issue. That’s a whole other matter that needs to be dealt with. I am still trying to understand how that relates to the topic at hand though. What do you want the ACNA to do or talk about when it comes to banking and finance?
@biry0501 I don’t know why you are saying that to me? I didn’t have anything to do with any breakups. I’m just pointing out one of the main reasons that the breakup occurred. But I will also say homosexuality isn’t some minor issue as you seem to imply. It’s a major issue and the practice of homosexuality and so-called “same-sex marriage” are certainly contrary to the word of God. But once again, I was not part of any breakups. If I was, I would be addressing a ton of other issues I see going on.
@biry0501 I disagree with your conclusions but respect your right to form your own conclusions. At least you’re being honest about where you stand as I am. I may disagree with you but at least I know I’m not dealing with a fraud.
Things I Disagree with Anglicans/Episcopalians on: 1. The Trinity yet again, The Virgin Birth yet again, & the Founding Resurrection yet again! 2. Infant Baptism, Real Presence aspect of the Founder's Last Supper, Restricting Spiritual Presenters from Communion. 3. No Pre-Tribulation Rapture, 4. Permitting Divorce especially for anything. (Divorce is only permissible via incarnation) 5. Required Tithing, & Women as Priests.
@@slamdancer1720 Sorry, dear, women can be priests. If you were educated about the cult of Diana in Ephesus, you'd clearly see that Paul was referring to that cult and that cult only in Ist Tim. Paul refers elsewhere to women praying and leading. Then, of course, there's Christ's choosing Mary Magdalene to teach the men about his resurrection. (Good enough for Christ, good enough for me).
They use the 2019 BoCP now generally
It was in the pews at the one I attended.

ACNA is very solid in my experience
Yes, I greatly enjoy the ACNA
Agreed.
When you say it's solid what exactly do you mean? Are you referring to it being more conservative?
I believe so, more conservative and theologically sound, is the suggestion, and probably not an entirely inaccurate one
We do believe in the inerrancy of the Holy Scriptures.
Fantastic site and really great videos!!! A+++
So glad to hear it, thanks!

If you have an Anglican Ordinariate parish in your area you should check it out. Anglican liturgy, in full communion with Rome.

Thanks. Very interesting.
Our church, priests, and bishops absolutely do believe in the inerrancy of the Scriptures.
Very erudite lesson! Very informative.
I’m considering either the ACNA or Catholicism. This is helpful.
What about a Lutheran church? The first Protestant to condemn the Catholic Church for corruption
What about the ACA and at the ACC. Fees to continuing Anglican bodies may not be in existence anymore but I would like to know if they are. I have been a member it of both.
It’s so hard to find traditional conservative churches with young people. If it’s hard in San Antonio, I can’t imagine in other states.

I have a question, what's the difference between sacraments and ordinances?
They generally refer to the same thing but "ordinances" suggests "we do this in obedience to Christ" while "sacraments" suggests "these are a means of grace."
You should talk more about GAFCON, as it is 10x larger than the ACNA, I always wonder why it gets so much attention when its becoming less and less Anglican as each year passes.
where can I get a list of organizations the doctrines and practices of which you have described in a dedicated video?
Use a search engine! acna.org will be a good place to start.

Good general summary, but as has been noted there are Charismatics in the ACNA (I'm not one of the them).
