This is helpful as someone coming out of Seventh-Day Adventism, almost converting to Catholicism, but ultimately deciding against it due to its many accretions. Traditional Anglicanism is looking more and more attractive and correct by the day.
@@emilydesiree6921 I agree! Traditional anglicanism is rooted in the ancient patristic-church. It rejects the accretions of both Romanism and low church Protestantism. We are Catholic (not Romanism) and evangelical. We are far from perfect and fully aware of that.
Anglicanism and Methodism capture early Christianity perfectly. Methodism captures the field preaching and laity of the early church. And the Anglicans capture the diversity of church fathers theologies and ecclesiastical style. (Modern councils called a lambeth conference) So on.
As to when the Church in Britain began, which the Church of England built on, there is scant documentary evidence, but we have an idea of what early Christians in the Roman Empire and later Christians believed. Simon Zelotes, one of the Twelve Apostles, is said to have reached Britain in mid-1st century. Hippolytus of Rome and Dorotheus of Tyre, recorded the same, writing in the 2nd century and 4th century respectively. The Patriarch of Constantinople reaffirmed the same in the 9th Century. And the librarian in charge of the vast Vatican libraries, Caesar Baronius, reaffirmed the same in the 16th century when tasked by the Pope with writing his Annales Ecclesiastici. He gave an exact date of 35 AD for when Christianity reached Britain. Gildas writing from Britain in the 6th century recorded that Christianity reached Britain in the "latter part of the reign of Tiberius Caesar". This is understood to refer to the Emperor Claudius, whose first name was Tiberius, who began the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD and reigned until 54 AD. Simon Zelotes is said to have been crucified in the newly established Province of Britannia, as recorded by Dorotheus of Tyre. A different tradition says that Simon Zelotes was martyred in Persia with the apostle Jude, however this is mainly based on a work attributed to the semi-legendary bishop of Babylon, Abdias, who is said to be one of the Seventy Disciples, but whose name doesn't appear on any of the surviving lists. Aristobulus of Britannia, one of the Seventy Disciples appointed by Christ in Luke 10, is named as the first bishop of Britain, in the oldest list we have of the Seventy Disciples. He is described as such in the lists of the Seventy Disciples by Hippolytus of Rome, Dorotheus of Tyre, and Epiphanius of Salamis. Another list of the Seventy Disciples, attributed to Irenaeus, includes Aristobulus. The Greek Church Marytrology names Aristobulus as having been martyred in Britain after establishing churches there and in the 9th century Ado the Archbishop of Vienna records the same in the Adonis Martyrologia. This is understood to be the same Aristobulus whose household in Rome, Paul salutes in his letters. It may be that Simon Zelotes and Aristobulus traveled west ahead of Paul. Eusebius, the Father of Church History, writes that the early apostolic missions "reached the Isles of Britain". And Tertullian wrote that by his time Christianity had reached parts of Britain beyond Roman control, which is to say Scotland (called Caledonia by the Romans).
I've been transformed by exploring the early church councils, confessions, and creeds. Although I come from and married into a non-denominational Pentecostal background, I now resonate with classical Protestantism. However, joining the Lutheran Church, which aligns with my new convictions, feels impossible due to family dynamics. My wife and her parents would sever ties and potentially end our marriage if I were to convert due to their non denom pentecostal background. Im not sure what to do.
Stand by your faith. Give reason & logical deduction. If you are the head of your wife, she will at the very least listen to your reasoning. Be faithful to the Lord God Jesus Christ of Nazareth & the rest will follow. Through mud or Roman roads, you will make it.
Henry had nothing to do with the evolution of the Church in the Isles. He was a political symptom, was recognized by the Pope as, "Defender of the Faith" and died as still a Roman Catholic. The Celtic Church existed in the Isles before the arrival of Augustine, 300 CE and 1,300 years before the Tudor dynasty.
The British monarch, currently Charles III, is the titular head of the Church of England. The monarch's role is largely ceremonial, but they do formally appoint high-ranking members of the church. The monarch is also known as the "Defender of the Faith"
nice video, i think the point about the principle of modern separation being from Queen Elizabeth I rather then Henry VIII is very important and often overlooked. but i disagree with a few things you said. 1) the title “head of the church” being attributed to the crown didn’t end with henry. it was attributed to elizabeth and subsequent princes. it’s not a title we should be ashamed of. our divines have defended it. and it means only what is affirmed in article 37. 2) elizabeth was a known protestant and enforced protestant ideas with coactive power. while she might have been more conservative regarding matters of discipline, regarding matters of doctrine she was firmly protestant. she didn’t just take middle role for healing.
It is so good to finally see this addressed. Frankly, I am worn out on the "King Henry the 8th started your Church" nonsense. It is a surprise to so many that Anglican church actually began definitvely in the 2nd century (though some have made the case for the 1st century), has bishops in apostolic succession, and was autonomous from the Roman church until the end of the 6th century. This means that Henry did not create a novel situation but actually restored to its roots. I am not here to defend Henry's character, he was seriously flawed. As far as the pope's refusal to grant an annulment, this fact needs to be conveyed: Catherine of Aragon (Henry "wife") , was the aunt of emperor Charles V, who had the pope under his thumb. So there is a familial and political force clearly at play here. There was also a personal antagonistic relationship between Henry and the Charles as well. All this to point out that history, even church history, can be messy and have shades of gray, not always black and white.
“We have the right to cause schisms when we disagree doctrinally” I think this statement could use its own video. In one sense I would agree. Heresy is a good reason to schism, but in another sense I think holding the belief that your archbishop is the only bishop you need to be in communion with is schismatic and dangerous.
The Church decides what is heresy or schism. If you have a disagreement with a ‘brother,’ you take the disagreement to the church. If someone ‘still’ disagrees, The Church should treat them like a tax-collector.
Churches don’t get to just declare their own independence from spiritual authority. Once you do this you introduce anarchy. Long suffering under bishops that are most of the time wolves is the only way
They don't? The East-West schism? Congregations have left TEC parishes to form ACNA parishes, and whole dioceses have gone to court to disaffiliate from TEC. Why? To keep to traditional biblical moral.🤔
The Continuing Anglican Churches are breakoffs from the Episcopal Church. It may be said that Anglican Church of North America was formed by Dioceses which parted from the Episcopal Church and by the Reformed Episcopal Church. You can see how Calvin Robinson and Brett Murphy have been treated by the Free Church of England. Brett Murphy may be an example of "suffering under bishops." 🤔

@@royquick-s5nI would assume they were tentatively accepted. It seems like the Church of England has been largely amenable to Lutheran doctrine as acceptable, but never expressing any sort of vocal support for it. That's my intuition at least!
Why did Henry require a male heir? He in fact did, who died in early adolescence, and both of his daughters subsequently became queen (horror of horrors?), and there was no resurrection of the wars of the roses, so that was a bullshit line from the outset.
I don't say that Henry VIII started the Anglican Church or the Church of England. I do say the annulment was wrong and Rome was right for not granting it and that his scriptural basis for the annulment was dead wrong.
Most of the Catholic universities at the time actually asserted that King Henry 8th had valid reason for an annulment. Also one important fact missing the presentation is that pope was captive both politically and quite literally the emperor who happened to be the nephew of Cathrine of Aragon. So the Popes unwillingness to grant the annulment had clearly a political motive behind it. Unfortunately, there is tendency to see Henry as the bad guy and the pope as the good guy. History, including church history, is not always so black and white.
@@williamjohnson3093 .Catherine of Aragon was in fact his brother’s widow, which normally meant no lawful marriage could take place under canon law. As it was, Henry’s father bribed the Pope at the time to grant a dispensation so the marriage could take place, precisely because it was legally dubious. On top of this, before marrying Catherine, Henry protested in writing against the marriage directly to the Pope. Henry actually didn't want the dispensation (no matter how big Catherine's tracts of land were). But his father, Henry VII, forced him to go through with it for political and financial reasons (he didn't want to return Catherine's sizable dowry). Documented unwillingness to marry is also ample grounds for an annulment on its own. Henry’s right hand man, Cardinal Wolsey, even got the backing of most theological universities across Europe, nearly all of which supported his request for an annulment.
