audio by topic 'anglican tradition'

81:35 minutes (37.35 MB)There are many ways to live the Christian faith, each one distinctive-Baptist, Catholic, evangelical, Orthodox, Pentecostal, and so on. The Anglican tradition offers another way still. While it has much in common with other streams, it is characterized by what is called a sacramental way of living. This means more than having a higher theology of baptism and the Eucharist. It also makes a difference in how one thinks, prays, serves, studies, and loves. This class explores the shape of this sacramental life. It examines our liturgy (including the sacraments), the Book of Common Prayer, some Anglican history and theology, sacramental spirituality, and the meaning of confirmation.

The Anglican Communion just ended its once-a-decade meeting at which bishops from all over the world gather together with the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace to discuss important concerns facing the church. The theological and political turmoil in the communion was in full display at Lambeth. But what did this conference accomplish for the Anglican Church, and how does it affect Church of the Resurrection and the Anglican Mission in America of which we are a part? Our resident expert, Barbara Gauthier, and Tim Morgan, deputy managing editor of Christianity Today (who attended both GAFCON and Lambeth and has interviewed many of the key players of the Communion), will discuss what may prove to be a watershed moment in the history of the Anglican Church.
