I really appreciate this. We are visiting an Anglican Church this coming Sunday, and are very interested in converting from Baptist. Love getting an overview.
Cool! I grew up Southern Baptist but became Anglican about 17 years ago (after seriously exploring RCC and EOC)
I grew up Baptist as well and became Anglican in college.
Thank you all! We had a great time visiting our first Anglican Church. We will be checking out several, before deciding.
I'm being confirmed into the ACNA in two weeks. And my daughter is being baptized into the ACNA this weekend. Can't be more excited
Watching from the Anglican Church of Canada.
Catholic in exile right now...I'm still too Romish for the Presbyterian and evangelical spheres/ system but then maybe too Protestant in leanings for Rome. Really feeling comfortable with Anglicaniam as I understand it today. Father McDurmott pastored a church not far from me in Alabama recently, though he since retired, maybe the church there, Christ the King Anglican, would hold to these views. Thanks for this video.
No problem. You're neither too Romish for Reformed Catholics nor too evangelical for us either--we take the best and most apostolic of both :)
Left Anglicanism for Rome recently
@@tatehamilton758sorry to hear that
Thank you. Informative and enlightening.
Another great video. Keep up the good work!
Love this, definitely buying the book
Prayer for the dead is explicitly forbidden in the formularies:
“Whether we ought to pray for them that are departed out of this world or no. Wherein if we cleave only unto the word of God, then must we needs grant, that we have no commandment so to do”
“Let us therefore dream either of purgatory, or of prayer for the souls of them that be dead; but let us earnestly and diligently pray for them which we are expressly commanded in holy Scripture, namely…”
The third part of the Homily of Prayer
Prayers for the dead were only interested in England in the early 20th century bcp and strongly resisted by evangelicals.
Note that the article says we have no *command* to pray for the dead. And that's true. But interestingly, the BCP includes a prayer for the peace of the departed soul. So we acknowledge that we have no mandate to do so and so aren't bound to do so (contra Rome).
I’ve missed where the 1662 includes a prayer for the departed, can you give any further references on that?
The homily says we should cleave only to Gods word, and pray only for those we are instructed to by Gods word. We should not “dream” of prayers for the dead.
Great interview. I'm sympathetic to your desire to find common ground with presbyterians on Holy Orders. But I found McDermott's points on that to give me food for thought on whether that is a wise or fruitful position. Reading *The Original Bishops: Office and Order in the First Christian Communities* by Alistair Stewart-Sykes also made me realise that the case for episcopacy as an apostolic command (and therefore divine in the same sense as all of their commands) is stronger than a lot of people give it credit for. Even the precise doctrine of marriage isn't as clear in the NT as episcopacy with deacons is. Ergo, if the doctrine of marriage is non-negotiable (and I think it is), then a fortiori, episcopacy is as well.
Sean, would you be willing to interview prof. WIlliam G. Witt from ACNA? He wrote a decent book defending the ordination of women, "Icons of Christ". He blogs on "Non sermoni res" where he also has a great series of posts on Newman's development of doctrine.
Potentially--I've actually read most of the book and am familiar with the argument. We cover it briefly in the interview. I'm actually planning to make a series of videos detailing why I take issue with it, and what we can nevertheless learn from it (I think it's important that we actually do reckon with misogyny among the fathers)
My conversion was in St. Paul's Chapel Trinity Church 1973.
I am moving to KC and will be going to St Aidan’s in the Upper Midwest.
What parish do you go to???
I'm not sure I follow the need for a lot of these more anglo-catholic/anglo-orthodox types to show that the Anglican church has always held their, or at least permitted, their views.
It seems like the principles of Via Media and Semper Reformanda would just allow for reformation and admission that it wasn't perfect from the beginning and may have gone too far in some aspects. This seems like an obvious conclusion when one looks at the bans on Christmas of 1659.
Sean Luke video drops, I watch. Not just because of the obvious tribal ties. Thank you.

22:07 - great way of thinking about the way that Scripture, Apostolic Tradition, and Interpretation apply here
37:00 on temporal debts and the nature of the propitation of the Mass in apostolic traditions
33:03 - on the Mass as a sacrifice
35:00 on Calvin and the Mass, and the Lord's Supper and its influence on Anglicanism
