I'm really glad to see that the Anglican Church in North America takes catechism, teaching, theological and questions related to tradition and scripture seriously. This is just a parish Church. In the UK we wouldn't really have such good comprehensive teaching such as we see here. The average parish is really treated as a pastoral movement and a social club, discussion about God and the Church doesn't really take place. A prominent archdeacon once berated a colleague 'enough discussion with theology the rest of us are getting busy with actual ministry'. Well what exactly does he believe ministry to be?
Father Jonathan, I have so much I could say but will try to be brief.... I am a classical Pentecostal, Assemblies of God in particular, & I am digging deep into the history of my tradition. Through our forbear John Wesley, (whom you may know was a lifelong Anglican) I arrived at the shore of Anglicanism. I am still learning of it, testing these new waters so to speak. I appreciate the resource of your series to educate me. May God bless your faithful ministry.
You should check out Paleo-orthodoxy and the Convergence Movement! It's all about returning to the roots of the Great Church from about the 5th through 10th Centuries.
It is problematic to dismiss that Church party never existed before 19th century in the Church of England. We find that even during Hooker's time there existed Church party differing in essential theological views of the Church. The major Churchmanship of Laudianism is an example of the existence of High Church party in 17th century standing in opposition to the Edwardian Low Church party and Puritans. It is rather appropriate to say that 19th century movements were fermentation of centuries old contrasting Churchmanship in the Church of England.

Come to the deep end Brianna. I’m in the same boat my self so to speak, and I’ve found so much peace in ancient Church practices.
Excellent talk! There's no information in the description or within the video as to where Ascension Church is located. Help, please?

Historically, the Evangelicals were around first-- especially in the 18th C. with the Wesley's, etc.
The puritans felt that the Church of England had not been reformed enough, that the Church of England was in many ways still very Roman Catholic.
A bit like the French and Communist Revolution People never noing when to stop.
Charasmatics...ugh 🤢
