First, the good stuff, I think it's a Christian Church and that all faithful Catholics will be saved by Our Lord. Now the bad: The unity they adore talking about really isn't there, only in theory. Also, exaggerations in the Magisterium's consistency of teaching completely contradict the central dogma of infallibility.

Genuine questions, with a calm heart and sound mind.. Then why not just go into the Church, herself? With further study, you will find that there is no "continued expression" of The Church, there is One Holy and Catholic Apostolic Church (Apostles Creed), and there is the protesters against the One Holy Church. Furthermore, Why do you believe we all get to pick and choose what best suits us, when it comes to Jesus' design of His Church? Yes, we are all sinners and therefore all of us are defected in our original nature, so we all have problems, but why do you suppose that Christ is wrong, or didn't do a good enough job, or say that He should've done this or that.. in His Holiest and Highest wisdom and understanding ,why do you protest Christ? 🙏Thank you.

A great video brother! I joined a local Anglican Church at the end of 2022 after visiting. One of the things that drew me in was the biblical preaching, and the liturgy. The music was God centred and theologically sound, not like a concert as i had in my old church. And to hear the various creeds being recited every week was something I've never experienced before. Truly beautiful and I think it's safe to say I've found my spiritual home in the Anglican Church. You're pretty well articulated as well, good job. Will be giving you a sub for sure.

I feel blessed to be part of an Anglican Church in Hertfordshire UK. I’ve really been neglecting god but the last few days I’ve been finding that fire for god I once had. Reading the Bible and using an app to remind me to pray has really kept me on track.

Great video, thank you! This gets at a lot of why I'm drawn to Anglicanism over Presbyteriansim. Broadly they are very similar (I'd say high church Presbyteriansim and mid church Anglicanism are very close in theology and style) but to me Anglicanism has always been much more sensitive in it's approach. It's evident one of Cranmer's main aims was to bring unity in what was a very divisive time. John Knox on the other hand took over Edinburgh cathedral and a lot of his followers destroyed stain glass windows and organs for being "too catholic". It was much more like a revolution than a reformation at times. I think the Anglican Church is truly "reformed" both in it's theology but also they way in which it went about it.

Thank you for this video - it is good to finally see something positive being presented about Anglicanism! I am a New Zealander, and descend from English Anglican families dating from Henry VIII’s establishment of the church; ten generations of Anglican priests! So it is well and truly in my blood! I made my own decision of faith aged 16 within an Anglican church, and always find I connect best to God through our liturgy, and the quietness and calm of our worship. I always felt proud of our umbrella of faith that I was taught during my confirmation, allowing for diversity within unity (although nowadays I do feel concerned how far from Biblical and traditional church teachings we seem to be straying). I loved the writings of C S Lewis, and John Stott, et al, and they shaped my faith as I grew into adulthood. I benefitted from reading why Lewis chose Anglicanism over Catholicism, which Tolkein hoped he would embrace. So thank you for working to encourage those of us who have loved being Anglican, but can feel discouraged and a little lost in today’s confusion within Anglicanism.

The Sabbath was and is Saturday and not Sunday…” Rev. Lionel Beere, Church and People, September 1, 1947. To worship on Sunday is to be under the Pope's Mark; Catholicism boldly proclaim that Sunday is the Lord's day because THEY wanted it to be (The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1957 p50) ; which is not based on Scripture and which breaks the 4th Commandment where God tells us to worship Him on His Day which is the Sabbath (Exo 20:8-11).l, Catholicism BOASTS that protestants have no good reason for worshipping on Sunday - they ought to keep Sabbath as Saturday if they follow their Bible (John Gilmary Shea, American Catholic Quarterly Review 1883).

The Ordinariate of the Catholic Church IS the answer. It is fully-Catholic and has Anglican patrimony. To be a member of Jesus Christ's Catholic Church is to be in union with the successor of St. Peter. There is good reason so many Anglican/Episcopalian bishops and priests have chosen the Ordinariate. St. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage “The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18-19]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he should desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251] “There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering” (Letters 43[40]:5 [A.D. 253] St. Optatus, bishop of Milevus “In the city of Rome the episcopal chair was given first to Peter; the chair in which Peter sat, the same who was head-that is why he is also called Cephas [‘Rock’]-of all the apostles, the one chair in which unity is maintained by all. Neither do the apostles proceed individually on their own, and anyone who would [presume to] set up another chair in opposition to that single chair would, by that very fact, be a schismatic and a sinner. . . . Recall, then, the origins of your chair, those of you who wish to claim for yourselves the title of holy Church” (The Schism of the Donatists2:2 [A.D. 367] St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo “There are many other things which most properly can keep me in her [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house” (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]

I have been at Anglican Churches for the last 30 years because I did kind of fall into it. I first started going to an Anglican Church because I needed to change from church I was at and while I had friends at a few other local churches the one that was more local and teaching me the Bible well was Anglican. Then a few years later I went to visit a friend who was starting a new congregation, he asked for feedback and suddenly I had a job to help implement my suggestions the next week. This church also happened to Anglican but much less established so in greater need of help and lots of brand new Christians so I ended up there simply because that was were I could best use my gifts to help.

As a former evangelical charismatic, I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to tradition, liturgy, and ritual. Was looking into Orthodoxy, but I can't get past the icons. Just started looking into Anglicanism so I found this helpful. One thing I'm not clear on is what the ACNA says for female pastors/priests.

Well done, persuasive. I understand the reasons for the ACNA, but fracturing the weak Anglican tradition in the United States is regrettable. The Episcopal Church did not divide, for example, over slavery in the 19th so why now? Your arguments also suggest that a union with Rome, as we had all anticipated in the early 1970s, should be our objective. I will not live to see it, but I hope that these beautiful and inspiring traditions will find a way to join each other.

How much emphasize would you put on the importance of apostolic succession for valid sacraments? The Church of Sweden and Church of Finland have apostolic succession as well, but there has never been a great emphasize put on it - it's a "good order", but nothing beyond that.

@Young_Anglican

Жыл бұрын

I think enough emphasis is established in scripture that the Apostles were given the authority to bind and loose earthly things in heaven and heavenly things on earth. The sacraments seem to fit the bill. I won't argue it is explicit in scripture, or that the Anglican interpretation is from God, but in my opinion if there is any hint that it might be required I think it is safe to say it is important and good to have. If it is possible that the sacraments otherwise administered are in anyway inferior, then Apostolic Succession would be important in that sense. Additionally Apostolic Succession is not only about the Sacraments, but also about knowing definitively where the visible Church at least begins.

I believe Luther mocks the idea in his "Babylonian Captivity" treatise. He says it's a useful ecclesiastical convention and nothing more. In my opinion, it deserves to be mocked as a superstition - at least in the crude way it's often held to, where the Apostles are seen as passing on some magic power by the laying on of hands needed to make the sacraments "valid", and where the ecclesiastical hierarchy takes on the look of a monarchical or aristocratic dynasty, in which the Spirit is being passed down like a genetic bloodline. This is pure superstition in my opinion and turns the Christian priesthood into a decadent Brahmin caste like the Hindus have. It's totally unnecessary and makes a mockery of the priesthood and the sacraments it's trying to protect. The Apostolic Succession spoken of by Church fathers like St. Irenaeus is about establishing one's claim to orthodoxy by proximate links to the Apostolic faith, against the Gnostic heretics St. Irenaeus was combatting who claimed invisible authorities and traditions for themselves nobody had ever heard of... In my opinion, any pastor who has been truly called by God and who preaches the orthodox faith and rightly administers the sacraments has the "keys" of authentic Apostolic succession. The ecclesiastical convention of elder Bishops laying hands on younger Bishops is just an outward sign of this; useful but not necessary.

That's because the Early Church Fathers were all Catholic. The Assyrian Church of the East was started in 431 by schismatics. The Oriental Orthodox was later started by schismatics. Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church in 33 A.D. and it is lead by the successor of St. Peter. The Ordinariate of the Catholic Church IS the answer. It is fully-Catholic and has Anglican patrimony. To be a member of Jesus Christ's Catholic Church is to be in union with the successor of St. Peter. There is good reason so many Anglican/Episcopalian bishops and priests have chosen the Ordinariate. St. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage “The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18-19]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he should desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251] “There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering” (Letters 43[40]:5 [A.D. 253] St. Optatus, bishop of Milevus “In the city of Rome the episcopal chair was given first to Peter; the chair in which Peter sat, the same who was head-that is why he is also called Cephas [‘Rock’]-of all the apostles, the one chair in which unity is maintained by all. Neither do the apostles proceed individually on their own, and anyone who would [presume to] set up another chair in opposition to that single chair would, by that very fact, be a schismatic and a sinner. . . . Recall, then, the origins of your chair, those of you who wish to claim for yourselves the title of holy Church” (The Schism of the Donatists2:2 [A.D. 367] St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo “There are many other things which most properly can keep me in her [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house” (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]

Anglican Church in North America

Thirty-three years ago, when I was in the process of converting from Judaism to Roman Catholicism, an Anglican acquaintance tried to persuade me to become Anglican. I asked him, "What's that?" He briefly explained to me the history of it. My question to him was, "Why would I want to join a church that was founded by someone who wanted a divorce?" Of course, I did NOT become Anglican. I joined the Church that Jesus Himself founded and I'm staying there.

How can you claim apostolic succession while repudiating the Archbishop of Canterbury as Gafcon and others do? It's sort of a sedevacantist point of view similar to SSPX in Catholicism. "Anglicanism" is historically English under the bishopric of Canterbury. Or can it be argued that the dissenting churches are more like ROCOR during the period of the USSR? In that case, the term "Anglican" would have to be modified to make a distinction from the Canterbury communion.

Anglicanism is English faith... not "English under the bishopric of Canterbury"... Anglicanism is not defined by the Archbishop of Canterbury... nor has it ever been, we're not the Roman Church... and the Archbishop of Canterbury is not a Pope of Canterbury... his just the *Archbishop* of Canterbury. *"Anglicanism’s chief glory is to present and embody the faith of the church catholic-downwind of the Reformation, with a robust understanding of justification by faith in tow-in such a way that Anglicans may be confident that they are adhering to the same apostolic teaching and inhabiting the same ecclesial order as their earliest forebears in the faith did. . . . We are distinctive precisely by aiming not to be distinctive. Our theology is the theology of the early church, the era of the Fathers, the best of the medieval world and the Reformation-all set decently on the table in our prayer book and other formularies."* That is what Anglicanism is.

​@Lepewhi some Lutheran Churches maintained apastolic succesion. The Sweedish Lutherans being one example. I'm not Lutheran myself bur what you need to keep in mind is that after the reformation you had plenty of Bishops who had hands placed on them ending up on the reformed side and a few churches maintained that succesion to this day.

You keep saying "One of the most ....". It implicitly says that there are others.

After being an Episcopalian, then a low church Anglican, my family has found the Orthodox Anglican church.

This is my opinion sidism. Infact I said these words on redeemed zoomer's channel but i'll quote myself. I side with Anglicanism. "God never appoints popes but kings, That individualistic communities should exist with our own agency but that we need traditional and hierarchical structure to exist so that we have order and theology. Tradition helps us with Christian lore and rules but that individualism enough that faith helps us with the faith and grace of Christ. New testament saves. But law is still sovereignty. I believe in old testament law as kingdom sovereignty but it does not grant me grace of salvation. Only Christ does. But rather articulates my obedience to authority which is God the father. As i liken the Normans as a people of laws and therefore old testament but with a Anglo-Saxon identity where God gave us Britain similar to God giving Israel to the Israelites. And so that we chose faith." it's how it makes sense to me. I treat the role of Judaism of old as to begot Christ and see Anglicanism as the fruit. God did the Jews they served now go Anglican through the English. No I am not promoting chosen people racial supremacism I reject that as a heresy. I see that traditions and rituals of faith confirm our identity and conform our doctrinal edicts whilst also everything you said which I also agree. We need incentives to study the bible and even the apocrypha but without viewing said apocrypha as scripture just guideline a lesser authority. Which isn't a universal anglican view this is my view. I believe pre Christ had Temple tradition and Judaism. while post Christ had the Anglican church and Anglicanism. The British empire and it's Anglosphere offshoots being the U.S, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain export a large empire and sphere of influence allowing Methodists, and Baptists who come from Anglican tradition and Anglicans ourselves into proselytizing/proselytization. The Spectrum of Anglicanism is from "Anglo-Catholicism" to more communal "Anglo-Reformationist" we are middle ground of traditional and reform/change and I like that. Anyone can be Anglican, Jew or Greek or Ishmaelite or Israelite or English etc. We have traditions that teach our theology to help our temple the Anglican church of london represent christ while like protestants we build our incentive christian zeal of missionary work. As I said some of my theology isn't necessarily replacement theology, I don't think Jews are necessarily obsolete or some antisemitic ideas like that. Rather I see the third temple as the Anglican church and have this chosen people theology as now applied to Britain. The Israelites were born from Israel, moved into Canaan from somewhere else. And Christ went through that lineage, and the Israelite temples and Davidic line with Israelite holy land in Canaan which taught God and Law to gentile Levantine nations surrounding Israel. Now we had the complete faith of Anglicanism as the successor of Anglicans, That Angles and Saxons were chosen by God to go to Britain, Our patriarch Angul, his descendants went to Britain, became England, and God flourished England to parallel with the Israelites so that Anglican faith finds fertile development in Britain. The Briton apostates we conquered are like our Canaanites, we are like the Israelites, and the Anglican church formed from Anglo-Saxons. And then like the Aramaean pagans challenging the faith of the Israelites, the Vikings challenged the Anglo-Saxon christians, Now to clarify my beliefs, I neither believe Anglo-Saxons are Israelites or replacers of Israel. I am not anti or pro zionist or replacement covenant that supercedes Israel. I merely believe the Anglican church is like the Christian version of judaism with some parallels. King of England akin to king of Israel, And the Canterbury Cathedral Is the third temple. We have slight bible disagreement intra denominational debate into semi sects of Anglicanism, a reform branch and conservative almost Anglo-catholic branch, reminiscent of Sadducees and Pharisees of Judaism, Zealots of Judaism being like Puritans in England and Baptists that fell out of Anglicanism is like Essenes. So with these parallels I have my Historian reason for Anglicanism. But I also likewise exactly think like you in doctrine and belief. So I support and agree with your Anglican articulation. And I am ultra conservative. I am sadden of the heretical liberals entering my faith.

Does Anglican teaches Christ alone faith alone saves apart from our works(Baptism, Eucharist, attending to church, prayer, good deeds, etc)? If Anglican teaches faith alone in Jesus Christ apart from any of our works then Anglican Church is safe.

Anglicans do believe in Sola Fide. But you have you ask yourself - if you're not willing to be baptised when Jesus commands us to, do you have faith? If you are unwilling to take communion when Jesus commands us to, do you have faith? If you are unwilling to love your neighbour and keep the commands of Jesus, do you have faith? Works flow out of faith and our fruits will reveal our faith.. That is why faith without works is dead.

I'm anglican by heart, I like liturgy, serious ceremonies, anthems, but I have two difficulties, like a spanish, I do not recognize the king of England, and I can't congregate , in my zone there is nothing similar, like presbiterian, similar. All else , OK.

Aren’t any Anglicans or Episcopalians concerned about the decline of adherents? I mean, Catholic Churches might be sacrament factories but at least they’re full

The Anglican Churches doctrinal emphasis is incarnational which is reflected in its liturgical worship and spills out into its theology. The 20th Century Archbishop of Canterbury Micheal Ramsey from a High Church perspective embodied this idea of incarnational believe this was shown not just in the way he worshipped but in his preaching and writing. Whilst, on the more Protestant side Archbishop Donald Coggan in his preaching gave emphasis to incarnational theology. You will not find in the Church of Rome such overall emphasis on incarnational doctrine nor in the Prostant Churches either.

Problem is there are few Anglican churches in the US, all episcopal

Reedemed zoomer is liberal who said that he would rather have woman pastor if she gave him sacraments as accepted, when i heared that i closed his film. He preach that egalitarianism is not dela-breaker, it is. No compromise and no liberalisation under mask of "conservatiwness"

Anglicanism is the only true Faith. If God wasn’t English, why would he write the Bible in that language? My only qualms are with American Episcopalians; absolutely heretical of them not to recognize His Majesty The King as the supreme Governor of the Church.

I appreciate your video and your honest approach, but I think that you underestimate just how different Eastern Orthodoxy is from Anglicanism, even when it is at its closest approach to Orthodoxy: in terms of things that are so radically essential (the nature of the Eucharist) and yet are left at the level of preference in the Anglican tradition, branch theory (which the Orthodox reject), etc. But I do appreciate that you defend your tradition in terms of being "the best". Why would you subject yourself to a tradition that you felt was anything less? I'm always shocked when I hear certain Christians (particularly evangelicals) try to reduce every Christian tradition to a least-common-denominator, nobody-is-the-best sort of way, in an effort to avoid the fact that someone one must be doing Christianity in the best, most full, most perfect way. FWIW.

But the thing is I don’t understand why are so many Anglicans and Anglican priests becoming Catholic and Orthodox priests?? 🤔 🧐

I am Anglican, Episcopalian specifically, from despair. There is no particularly good sales pitch I have for Anglicanism as opposed to Jesus. I wanted room to think so I left Rome. I do not like schisms and divisions and have no issues with gay people so I became Episcopalian not ACNA, but could just as easily have gone ELCA. I could not have joined any church that did not have Bishops and that did not affirm the Real Presence. I am probably not who you have in mind, but by any measure other than "are gay people ok?" I am a theological conservative. I see no particular reason to Evangelize Anglicanism as opposed to God on a Cross though.

Why is it that the majority of people who study current and ancient global religions at an academic level, loose their Christian faith? 🤔

Spoilers! Comparing Hebrew and Greek texts and later Latin texts, you see how man has corrupted the story of Jesus. All current Christian faiths are built on a foundation of human agenda and lies. So what next? You try to find the earliest Christian texts and what do they say? That YHWH is trapping our souls, feeding off our misery and Christ came to save us from him. It wasn’t until the romans came along and used Christianity and other religions as a weapon of war.

You say that "leniency on the non-essentials" is a pro. The ACNA is lenient on women's ordination. Given St. Paul's strict and clear prohibition of women as pastors in 1 Timothy, wouldn't this be more of an essential?

Sorry, I'll stick with the Book of Concord as my confession of faith.

Re the six reasons: 1) Except there are some things in the 'Essential' pile that shouldn't be there - including Hereditary-Original-Sin ; 2) There is an overall sense of Leniency, in that people can wander from church to church and find very different presentations of the faith - However, the 'pew potato' has Zero chance of being heard if he proposes any meaningful changes to the 'ways things are done' within each individual church - This is the worst of both worlds; 3) No denomination can plausibly trace an unbroken & direct lineage to the beginnings of the faith - that's why there are so many of them; 4) Anglicans need to come clean about what their policy is (that is - according to what really happens) on how 'accessible' the sacraments are to the people - They also need to account for why they stop short of just letting the people (i.e. 'unapproved' people) do it whenever and wherever they like; 5) Not much to say about this - apart from there are both saintly and shady characters involved in the history of any denomination; 6) The liturgy would be one of Anglicanism's greatest strengths, again if it were able to focus on what was most beautiful and edifying to the people gathered there - Instead we have seen the totally unnecessary 'updating' of language (absolutely none of the 'occasional' churchgoers recite the Lord's Prayer in modern English), as well as newly-authorised prayers - with much to commend them - which are then never used (I could go to church for the next 20 years, and still never hear all of the Eucharistic Prayers A to H, used). NB: All of the above said, there might still be a case to say that the C of E (here and there - in this or that locale) offers the 'least worst' form of organised religion (even though, on that metric, I'd plump for Quaker meetings) ...

You get your apostolic succession from the Catholic Church having been a splinter group after the king wanted to marry other women outside his marriage bound by God in the church. And with Anglicanism preaching a pro-sin doctrine since around 2010 and speeding into sin in 2020, why not return to the church that actually gave you the apostolic succession ?

Henry VIII’s split from the RCC was not just over his desire to marry again; it was also political, in the sense that he wanted to have jurisdiction over his own kingdom, and not be under the papacy. This included having the church under local leadership, rather than Rome. He was actually opposed to the Reformation, so wanted to maintain a catholic system of worship and belief, but to be localised (English) - hence, the name of the church Anglican (Anglo = English).
