What is an Anglican?

  • I often get asked what the word "Anglican" means or "what is an Anglican." Anglicans are first and foremost Christians. We follow Jesus in the Anglican way which includes elements of the evangelical, catholic, and charismatic traditions. Anglicanism isn't the only way to follow Jesus, but it is a reliable way of being a Mere Christian.

    THANK YOU!! This is a great explanation. As a Christian of 50+ years, in Baptist, Charismatic, Vineyard and non-denominational churches, I have happily settled in the local Anglican church. I love the connection with the church historic, learning about the early saints, singing hymns as well as simpler worship songs, joining together in saying the creeds, emphasis on Christ in the Eucharist, and the rich readings from the Word each week, as well as in Morning Prayer. What a wonderful place to be!

      UA-cam has just recommended his video to me. I find you a genuine and earnest person. Parson me for asking a blunt question - how can a person remain Anglican if he or she is aware that the Anglican tradition is born out of political expeditency and the creation of a separate church that serves politics rather than God ? It is common knowledge why King Henry VIII broke away from Rome. So any resulting theology must be different from Rome to justify its existences. And in the process, killing of "unfaithful" subjects and clergy occurred with confiscation of church assets.
      Thus any dissenting beliefs are artificially created and accepted to justify its separate existence. How does it expect anyone who knows history to accept an artificial religion with its artificial theology ?
      I do apologise if I offend you. I just cannot help wonder how an Anglican in his or her good conscious accept an artificial belief ? (Remember King Henry VIII was awarded the tittle "the defender of the faith " when he was staunchly going after the Protestants. And he hated Martin Luther. For King Henry to embrace Protestantism "overnight" is quite unimaginable unless its for politics which in fact, it actually was. Thank you Fr for clarifying my doubts.

My partner and i were going one day a few months ago, and when we was walking in i looked over to my right and saw this open book lying on a ledge. I grabbed it to see what the title was and it was an alcoholics anonymous book. That really touched my heart and i got upset and didnt want to go in crying so we turned sround and left... This past sunday i had my partner take me back to the church because i needed prayer. I walked in and met the priestess and she gladly prayed for me. I didnt stay for service because again i was a crying mess.. im going to try again this coming sunday but goig to stay for service. God really finds a way to work on you in different/mysterious ways.

      His church isn't really Anglican though. It isn't in the Anglican Communion, which is headed by the Church of England, and the The Episcopal Church is the only American Church in it. So the definition of Anglicanism, is the theological and liturgical practice pertaining to that of the tradition of the Church of England. And the true tradition is not Reformed, Charismatic or Evangelical at all.

Now I am so grateful for our openness to the best of all other denominations our willingness to welcome members of other churches to worship fully with us and finally our ability to embrace change ie female ordination etc whilst still being grounded in our distinctive liturgical practices.

      Female ordination is an absolute Heresy, as there were no female apostles. This is why there will be no such thing as the Anglican church in 50 years time, because bits and pieces are being chipped off of it the whole time: so much so that there are now Anglican lesbian married Bishops. How far are you willing to go? Converting to the Church of Ireland is a massive step backwards. As an Irishman adopting anglicanism - this is a kick in the guts to our forebears who stood by their principles and rejected the soup, often giving up their lives for their faith. Even the former chaplain to the Queen, Gavin Ashenden, has rejected his former Anglican church and has become Catholic.

For instance, Jews are still waiting for the Messiah to come whereas Christians believe that the Messiah has already come in the person of Jesus. Jews believe in salvation through keeping the law whereas Christians believe that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and not by works of the law. Jews believe in the oneness of God, Christians do as well but we believe that this one God has revealed to us that he is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

      The Episcopal Church is the original traditional US Protestant Episcopal Church. It is now liberal and admits gay clergy, performs gay weddings, and is in communion either the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran) Church. Some parishes are more Catholic, some quite Evangelical, most somewhere in between.
      Some Episcopalians objected to these trends, and to female clergy. They broke off and formed the ACNA (Anglican Church in North America). In the USA nowadays, Anglican could refer to either group. They are not in communion with each other, or with Canterbury.
      The Anglican Church of Canada is still intact, liberal though traditional. Anglican here means one thing only.

      This is the beauty of Catholicism because it began with, by, and from, the Apostles who were inspired and instructed by Jesus Christ. So what the Catholic church knows is what the Apostles knew, so therefore, what it knows comes from the Apostles. If one were to combine all the knowledge of protestantism, it would not even scratch the surface of knowledge or equate to that of Catholicism because Catholicism is God inspired since it began with, by, and from, the Apostles. Anglicanism and, therefore, all of protestantism is man inspired, and therefore always a contradiction to Christianity. IT IS A FACT.

    Great video. I'm a long-standing member of the Anglican Church of Canada. Really feel that the Anglican expression of faith is one of the finest as it's a 'balancing' of sorts (and you did a great job of highlighting that) and really upholds reverence for scripture, reason and tradition. If I wasn't Anglican I'd probably be Orthodox though as I think so much can be learned from the Church Fathers. A Blessed Lenten season Fr., Pax Christ, Ian

    My family's mostly Baptist. As an American Anglican, do you consider Queen Elizabeth to be supreme head of the church? I don't really know a lot about Anglicanism as it wasn't a denomination that was that prevalent in the area I grew up in.

    • @FatherChrisKlukas
      @FatherChrisKlukas  3 роки тому

      Great question. Queen Elizabeth still holds that title for the Church of England but she doesn't have any authority over American Anglicans (or most global Anglicans for that matter). Even in England she lets the church govern itself. She is very involved as a worshipper, but she doesn't really direct the church. Our top level of Authority comes from a confederation of Anglican Provinces called GAFCON. The head Bishops (primates) from each of the member churches regularly take counsel together.

    • @ChristopherKlukas
      @ChristopherKlukas 3 роки тому

      This mission of the Church can be found at the end of the Gospel of Matthew (Chapter 28). "And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”" In other words, the mission that Jesus gave us is the present the Gospel to people everywhere and to Baptize and disciples those who respond to the message of the Gospel in faith.

      Christopher Klukas but this authority has been given to all prophets of their time. Krishna got it, Rama got it, prophet Mohammed got it, Guru Nanak got it, prophet Moses got it. All prophets said that god is one. Why are we saying that Christianity is the only way, or Muslim is the only way, or Hinduism is the only way. Why are we all trying to just prove our prophet right and all other wrong? Isn’t there an ego coming into picture? Muslims do believe in Jesus but because Prophet Mohammed came after Jesus came to earth, they have started following him. Would all this bring peace to the world? Please advise.

    Thanks for the video Sir! You sound like a Pastor with which my Southern Baptist wife might be comfortable with. I did not hear of the Evangelical/Catholic/Charismatic thing before but not until after I became an Anglican. I did read the 39 Articles early on and thought that was a very much a shaping document I could agree with. I wonder if there are many Anglicans out there who would describe themselves as Protestant, Reformed, and Evangelical? Is that ok today? In past history, I think the Anglican church was definitely considered a Protestant Church. Cheers!

      Hi Ichabod. Yes, there are many Anglicans that would consider themselves to be Protestant, Reformed, or Evangelical. I mentioned three streams of Anglicanism in the video (Catholic, Evangelical, and Charismatic/Pentecostal). Each Anglican believer and congregation will likely gravitate towards one or two of these streams more strongly than the others.

      The Anglican Church has a wide diversity of beliefs on issues that might be deemed secondary. The core of Anglican Doctrine is defined by the Book of Common Prayer (1662) and the Thirty Nine Articles of Religion. This would be the best place to start. I come from the Anglican Church in North America and we have a very helpful Catechism called "To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism" which has a fuller explanation of our beliefs. That might be helpful too. God bless you!
