Hi Joe, please be encouraged to continue this Anglican renaissance. There is SO much life found in the Anglican way, and so many people are yearning for it. It deserves to be defended and promulgated. I know God will bless you and equip you for this work, so please keep it up! Praying for 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.
I enjoy your channel. I was ordained priest in 1986 in Canterbury Cathedral by Archbishop Robert Runcie. Although I was baptised in the Church of Canada in Thunder Bay, I did not start practising my faith until I was in my mid-teens. I am intending to run a Lent course next year using some of the ideas in 'Deep Anglicanism'. There is a growing need to re-establish our Anglican origins in England and to re-invigorate a pride in our heritage and achievements.
Great interview . I also recommend for Anglicans a little book called The Sacramental Life . These are a collection of the shorter writings of Dom Gregory Dix as well as an excerpt from his famous tome “The Shape of the Liturgy”.
Fr. McDermott's work on Zionism is great. I think it can be refined and brought into greater alignment with supersessionism. He could dispense with the attacks on "replacement theology." But I would say his work on Zionism is the most important work he's done. It's a major blindspot for many traditionally minded catholics, and he does a good job of bringing some light to the issue.
I really enjoyed this. Overall a very good presentation of traditional Anglicanism. Where I found disagreement was his understanding of Luther. Luther’s understanding of sola fide did not deny need of works. His view of works are not different than Anglican view. Luther said”the faith that saves alone is never alone”. Also Luther’s view on the epistle of James is more complicated and nuanced than what McDermott is claiming here. Luther’s statements against the Jews were more about Judaism than about the Jews as a race. I don’t deny his statements are harsh but Luther also made harsh statements against other groups as well. He was definitely hyperbolic. Also I would like mcdermott to clarify in what sense the Jewish people are the chosen people and yet he rejects dispensational view.
Great interview - looking forward to reading Deep Anglicanism. Can’t wait for the next interview with Fr. Gerald about Salvation, particularly given Joe’s background!
Hey Joe! Can you do a video that shows how you use the book of common prayer? I’m getting more comfortable with it, but sometimes it seems a little intimidating.
I won't have a chance for a couple days to watch the video, but I got a lot out of the book. It was actually the first book on Anglicanism that I read.
I'm reading Luther's commentary on John's gospel chapters 14-16 (1537) right now and he could not be more clear on the necessity of good works and a lively faith rooted in Christ for a Christian. Thought Fr. McDermott's comments on Luther were a little unfair, although really liked the interview and praying for ACNA growth and fixing women's ordination from a non-anglican
"We must interpret Scripture through the fathers. So anyway the entire Church was wrong about the Jews up untill a couple literal heretics 200 years ago, otherwise known as yesterday."
Bruh. Calvin and Luther slander. Calvin “Accordingly, man falls according as God’s providence ordains, but he falls by his own fault.” Luther “We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.”
So Fr. Gerry is a leader of a movement called the post-supersessionism movement. It is not the same as pre-millennial Zionism. I would try to explain his position, but I don’t think I could do it justice. He has written two books on it. The New Christian Zionism and Why Israel Matters. If you are interested in looking more into this those would be great options.
There is no plain sense of Scripture that forbids womens ordination. 1. Women are supposed to pray and prophesy with their heads covered 2. Female prophets - Deborah a ruling prophet like Moses among others like Miriam, Hulda, Anna and the daughters of Phillip the Evangelist 3, Married women are requested not to disturb in Church and there is a prohibition on females having rabbinical authority over men which means they should not counsel men and as well vice versa. This is borne out by Church history where Presbyteresses (aka older women of Titus 2) were ministering such rabbinical authority to women to prevent sexual impropriety. In monasticism we have nearly 2000 years of womens ministry preserved albeit in a calcified edition. I am all for requiring ordained women wearing distinctive female clergy habits, dress and vestments like their monastic counterparts BUT forbidding women sacramental ministry while begging them to take up clerical ministries under a different name is hypocritical. Thirdly apart from the accusation that it is Liberal theology that permits womens ordination there are highly conservative evangelical, pentecostal and charismatic denominations which permit womens ordination and they have no such issues with theological liberalism. Meanwhile theological liberalism being rife in our seminaries is a problem faced by both males and female seminarians who may get corrupted and blunted by it. So lets call a spade a spade and not a digging tool. There is a tradition that forbids womens ordination which is the same tradition that forbids married male clergy. Otherwise monastic tradition retains female Bishops(Abbesses), Presbyters(Nuns) and Deacons(Sisters) creatively under different names after the council of Constance. Ordination being exclusively tied to sacramental ministry rather than clerical ministry is a uniquely Roman Catholic canonical innovation. So removing a church discipline aka canonical prohibition is not of the same magnitude as a theological or Biblcal discipline.
1 Timothy 3 clearly refers to a man. They could of included requirements for women but didn't. The Liberal has the same instincts with Jesus and Matt 19. They say 'He didn't say no to same sex marriage, so its ok!'. WO = Gay church. You let in one and then 10 seconds later the catamites will be hollering for SSM.
@toddvoss52 the Council which forbade Women's Ordination was before the Roman Catholics split from the Orthodox Catholics. So most of the points hold valid. Otherwise Macrina was wrong to teach her little brother Basil the Great about Monasticism and the Abbess Hilda was wrong to call the Synod of Whitby both of which were Orthodox Catholic women endeavours. We are sadly at a point where Scholasticism is used to counter Church History effectively with historical and biblically unfounded claims. Orthodox Catholics eliminated female Ordination as Ritual Purity (which Christ ruled against) became a determining factor. Roman Catholics took it a step further by not only forbidding not just Bishops to marry but all superior clergy and making females in clergy orders essentially forbidden from sacramental office and celibate monastics. Then they made name changes as well to mask history. Orthodox Catholics retained deaconesses and the matushka or priests wife stood in for the Presbyteresses BUT without Ordination. Nuns in that tradition however retain the same clergy role without sacramental office which is still reprehensible. The Office of Apostle, Prophet and Rabbi which eventually became conflated with Bishop, Priest and Deacon in the Christian Church are not onthologically male like the Popes have lately claimed. Christ commended Mary of Bethany for sitting at his feet, meaning she had chosen the Rabbinate and was clear that it shall never be taken away from her.

Our parish just used this book as a pre-confirmation read. I loved it! Made me more confident in my desire to get confirmed into the ACNA.
Definitely seems good for catechesis
Gerald McDermott, is my mentor, and one of the kindest men I have ever met. He is truly a wonderful priest and teacher.
1:13:37 100% right about female ordination.

So encouraging to see another Anglican priest with a stutter like myself. Great interview!!! I think I'll go ahead and order the book.
Hey Joe! Can you do a video that shows how you use the book of common prayer? I’m getting more comfortable with it, but sometimes it seems a little intimidating.
37:36 I think Joe is asking a question but the audio is not recorded.
Something about the future of Anglicanism, I presume.
I won't have a chance for a couple days to watch the video, but I got a lot out of the book. It was actually the first book on Anglicanism that I read.
He offers a course on this subject at RES seminary
Audio issues. Way to blow it Joe.
I would love to hear more on Apostolic Succession, if you haven't already put out a video, Joe.
We hand out this book like hotcakes in our parish to those that are new to Anglicanism and those that need a refresher.

Heisenberg as a priest. (Loved the video btw)
"We must interpret Scripture through the fathers. So anyway the entire Church was wrong about the Jews up untill a couple literal heretics 200 years ago, otherwise known as yesterday."

Calvin
“Accordingly, man falls according as God’s providence ordains, but he falls by his own fault.”
Luther
“We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.”
Im only a minute in where exactly just curious lol
@@Thatoneguy-pu8ty Towards the end, where he explains why Canterbury instead of Geneva, Wittenberg, etc
@@catfinity8799 Thought about going "erm achktually" in the interview when he said that but I just kinda let it go
Why not give him a heads up that people asked about it and see if he wants to clarify anything? Fr. Gerald is one of our best.
@@Young_Anglican Do you have Southern Italian ancestry? Are you a former Catholic?
We need to verify his claims about what is going on in Ukraine.
The Zionism toward the end is so disappointing. The rest of the content is very good.
So Fr. Gerry is a leader of a movement called the post-supersessionism movement. It is not the same as pre-millennial Zionism. I would try to explain his position, but I don’t think I could do it justice. He has written two books on it. The New Christian Zionism and Why Israel Matters.

This is not John Hagee's Zionism. More like the Zion Realism you find on nearly every page of the Bible.
"Prima Scriptura, we must interpret the Bible through the fathers. Anyway..."
