Authentic Anglicanism


"Authentic Anglicanism is a particular expression of Christian corporate life which seeks to honour the Lord Jesus Christ by nurturing faith, and also encouraging obedience to the teaching of God's written word, meaning the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New testaments. It embraces the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion (published in the year 1571) and the Book of Common Prayer (the two versions of 1552 and 1662), both texts being read according to their plain and historical sense, and being accepted as faithful expressions of the teaching of the Scripture, which provides the standard for Anglican theology and practice."

If you have not yet read the offical GAFCON study document, The Way, the Truth, and the Life, I recommend that you read it. It is on the Internet in PDF format at: http://www.gafcon.org/images/uploads/gafcon_way_truth_life.pdf
