Book excerpt: Most Christians are completely unaware that for over 200 years there has existed in England, and at times in Wales, Scotland, Canada, Bermuda, Australia, New Zealand, Russia and the USA, an episcopal Church, similar in many respects to the Church of England, worshipping with a Prayer Book virtually identical to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, and served by bishops, presbyters and deacons whose orders derive directly from Canterbury, and ecumenically enriched by Old Catholic, Swedish, Moravian and other successions. The Free Church of England as an independent jurisdiction within the Universal Church began in the reign of George III. In 1991 the Church sent a bishop to George Carey's Enthronement as Archbishop of Canterbury. In addition to presenting for the first time a detailed history of the Free Church of England, John Fenwick also explores the distinctive doctrinal emphases of the denomination, its Constitution, its liturgical tradition, its experience of the historic episcopate, and its many connections with other churches (including the Reformed Episcopal Church in the USA). He discusses why the Church has, so far, failed to fulfil the vision of its founders, and what the possible future of the Church might be - including a very significant expansion as many Anglicans and other Christians considering new options discover this historic, episcopal, disestablished Church with its international connections and ecumenical character.
Download or read book Anglican Ecclesiology and the Gospel written by John Fenwick and published by Anglican House Media Ministries, Incorporated. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecclesiology is the study of the very nature of the Church. Though he is an Anglican Bishop, John Fenwick, PhD, demonstrates for us all that ecclesiology isn t an appendix to the gospel lies at the very heart of communion with God calling us back to the Apostolic and Biblical roots of faith and practice rather than forward to modernization. Ecclesiology is not a matter of choosing sides on core issues of the day and applying church life to them but, rather, it is a matter of faithfulness to the apostolic tradition that has been handed to the Church, primarily within the Scriptures, and then living it out in the daily life of the Church. Fenwick is a master at showing us the interconnections while never losing sight of the ultimate authority of Holy Scripture. He strongly engages with the greater story of the Church Catholic: Eastern and Western. His footnotes and bibliography are a goldmine alone. Here is that literary rarity: a most scholarly work that is also a good read. "

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Free Church of England is a member of the Anglican Communion but its been here since 1844. A Church set up by South Devon Evangelicals to fight the despotic Bishop of Exeter Henry Phillpotts who tried to impose on his churches the Oxford Movement. The Anglican Martyrs had said in the reign of Queen Mary the Catholic daughter of King Henry VIII "We shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out. Be of good cheer, master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle in England, as I hope, by God's grace, shall never be put out. Be of good comfort, brother and play the man. If I deliver myself up to be burned but not have love I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13 v 3. If I understand all mysteries but If I have not Love I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13v2. The Anglican Church was a Protestant church that came out of the Reformation but was in its nature still very much the Catholic Church it had always been under the Pope. As Church developed It became Evangelical during the Eighteenth Century Evangelical Revival but all was set to change in the nineteenth century when Catholicism was advocated within the Anglican Church. Catholic only means Universal Worldwide Church but has become a much derided term. Its inextricably linked now with those who believe in Transubstantiation in that the elements of Bread and Wine do become the Body and Blood of Christ. A Protestant believes the Elements remain in heaven and are just tokens. The Oxford Movement sought to return the Anglican Church to its Catholic roots and also advocated ritualism. The Free Church of England was set up as a protest against ritualism and Anglo Catholicism within the Church of England. Almost 170 years later after the retirement of its last Calvinist Reformed Evangelical Bishop in 2013 the Anglo Catholics were now trying to lead the Church down the path towards Catholicism, ritualism and all the things the church had been set up to protest against. A split in 2003 had mapped out a Denomination into two Groups but now in 2020 the larger group the Free Church of England self styled themselves as Evangelical Catholics, adopted a hireachichal Bishops structure with Apostolic Succession. The smaller group the Evangelical Connexion of the Free Church of England kept loyal to the Churches Evangelical Protestant nature. It was Calvinist against Catholic.

Download or read book Our Church written by Roger Scruton and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most people in England today, the church is simply the empty building at the end of the road, visited for the first time, if at all, when dead. It offers its sacraments to a population that lives without rites of passage, and which regards the National Health Service rather than the National Church as its true spiritual guardian. Here, Scruton argues that the Anglican Church is the forlorn trustee of an architectural and artistic inheritance that remains one of the treasures of European civilization. He contends that it is a still point in the centre of English culture and that its defining texts, the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer are the sources from which much of our national identity derives. At once an elegy to a vanishing world and a clarion call to recognize Anglicanism's continuing relevance, Our Church is a graceful and persuasive book.
