6 Reasons YOU Should Be Anglican

- Not a lot of Anglicans are proudly affirming the superiority of the Anglican tradition. But if we call ourselves Anglican, we must think it is the best option out there? Right? Here is why I think everyone should become Anglican.
Here is a link to the video I mention on Branch Theory:

You made Anglicanism sound so good. I like how you emphasise the diversity of belief in Anglicanism, instead of pushing your own specific beliefs as the "Anglican position" on certain topics.
false and misleading advertising!
@@arthurhallett-west5145then what is the Truth? The CC or the Orthodox?
CofE here, love this video. Really great explanation on the positives of the wider Anglican church.
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.
As a former Catholic and now High Church Protestant (discerning between Lutheranism and Anglicanism) this video has been extremely helpful in my journey.
What got you to question the claims of Catholicism? This is a topic I’m currently investigating.
@danielkulju9836 I will always be thankful for my journey into Catholicism from Atheism, but I have started questioning a lot of my earlier assumptions about the Roman Church.
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.
@@danielkulju9836 The Biblical doctrine of Justification is rejected by the Catholic Church.
Anglican is honestly the best option for a former Catholic. I personally would try to find a Episcopal Church that is not liberal(easiest way is through Redeemed Zoomer’s map) as it will be the most traditional and more what you are used to. If you can’t do ACNA. Lutherans are not as similar to Catholics as you think.
@@candyclews4047Why do you say that? The Catholic Church created the Bible, Luther added words and removed books. Why do you take the Holy Scriptures away from The Church and recreate your own interpretations to use against The Church? 🙏Thank you.
Sitting here in the first week of 2024, a man growing old who, like so many of my fellow Englishmen, has lived with Anglicanism as part of the furniture (often a neglected part), without ever really considering its full value and beauty, I find this a remarkably inspiring and informative discourse. At this moment (as I am sure you know), the Church is riven with disagreement over the blessing of gay couples, declining congregations, the political positions taken by Archbishop Welby and other bishops, and more besides. The outlook seems bleak. You remind me that there is so much worth preserving and celebrating. Thank you.
Maybe I'm unlearned, but wasn't that the point of GAFCON? I could just be saying that as a recent study of the ACNA, but I don't come to this topic without depth of Anglican study.
The Appalachian Anglican podcast has been fruitful.
@@j897xce Thank you for this. On the contrary, if I may say so, I am sure that you are far more learned that I am in these matters. My point was this - and really you re-enforce it - that very many of us "three wheel" (birth, marriage and death) Anglicans, have very little idea of GAFCON and other movements, very little idea of what distinguishes traditional Anglicanism and what makes it so valuable, so beautiful.
If you are concerned with the discord in the C of E, you could try a Free Church of England church. They will be more traditional orthodox Anglican. The Anglican church has a rich history and wonderful liturgy. As a new Anglican I am loving it.
@@patriottex4813There’s not many of those churches around though.
I understand the problem. I drive 45 miles to attend my Anglican ACNA church here in Texas. I pray God will bless your efforts to seek him, and show you where to attend church.
I joined the Anglican church 13 years ago. I’ve really grown in my walk of faith . The service is liturgical which I like. The ancient hymns are so beautiful. There is a logical order of the worship service that makes sense to me.
Really great video! I'm a Reformed Protestants (not Calvinist) who knows why I am a historical Protestant. But Lutheranism and Anglican have presented themselves as real (and I'll say even better) options to being the continued expression of the catholic faith. Please pray for me!
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.
@@YahuahsRefiner I’m sorry..but which church is this?? You DO know many (if not all) churches claim this right ?!? lol
Thank you. A good summary of the "stable middle ground" position of Anglicanism. You give almost all the same motivations that I have for remaining an Anglican.
We got our Apostolic Succession from Gregory the Great, and we have the AV Bible, the Prayer Book 1662/1928, and the 39 Articles, so we don't have to worry what Welby or Francis are saying or doing.
That’s a good way to look at it 👍🏻
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.
Keeeeen mate, glad to see another gent who wants to forward the Anglican tradition, not mere classical Protestantism.
I love your channel! Cool to see you watching my content for once haha
@@Young_Anglican I always love seeing up and comers, and sharing their stuff.

I'm re exploring my lost Anglican roots. Bless you for this podcast
Thank you for this Reformed Zoomer has been a big help for me to untangle alot of knots and he led me to your channel. I English and have been going to an Anglican church for over a year. I am happy to tell you that in May of this year I will be making my confirmation.
Anglicans and other protestants mistakenly believe they celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. No they don’t! Catholic and Orthodox only celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. In John 6 Jesus Christ asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood for compelling reasons. Later, at the Lord’s Supper, Jesus Christ showed us how to obey His request to eat and drink of Him via blessed bread and wine that has miraculously become His flesh and His blood. The 39 articles of the Church of England calls this “wicked” and “repugnant”. Please read the core relevant passages on the Lord's Supper
John 6:51-56
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.”
John 6:60-68 excerpts
60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? …64 But among you there are some who do not believe.”… 64 For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe…. 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Note: The disbelieving Jews clearly understood that Jesus was speaking plainly by the plainly speaking reply of “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” These disbelieving Jews refused to accept that Jesus Christ could give us His flesh and blood to eat and drink and they turned their backs on Him.
Mark 14:22-24 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
22 While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
1 Corinthians 10:15-16 - St Paul
15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 11:19 -20 & 29 - St Paul
19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper… 29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves.
Catholic and Orthodox Pastors only have received the Sacrament of Holy Orders from a Bishop of Apostolic Succession. Therefore protestant Pastors do not have the faculty to consecrate the bread and wine to become the body and blood of Jesus Christ so they remain bread and wine. Our one true God is most gracious and wise and one should lovingly accept His divine gift because “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jesus Christ).
If you want to obey God and partake of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ then be Catholic or Orthodox.
God bless you
Well said brother. I am new to Anglican churches ( ACNA) and I love it. The litugy is an attraction to me. I believe it has made me more mindful and successful in my daily walk, but I have a long way to go. I am trying to do the daily office each day. I also think it is making me more bold about my fairh too. Great job on this video.
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.
As a member of the Church of the Nazarene (one of Anglicanism's grandchildren, through John Wesley) and as a Prayer Book Christian, I enjoyed this very much.
Got yourself a new subscriber.
Haven't went to church in forever and have been studying on which one I would want to attend. My area is mainly just baptist churches, and I never agreed with catholocism all the way, just with a lot of their points. Anglicanism is what is closest to my beliefs and this video has been a huge help. Thank you!
I learned about your channel from Barely Protestant, glad to see another Anglican channel out there.
Father Brett Murphy has a good Anglican news channel too.
Great work here! Thank you for creating this valuable content. I've heard my parishioners saying how much they have enjoyed and benefited from your videos.

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). One cannot compromise, its either Sunday under Catholic law or Sabbath under God's law , even God warns us we cannot serve God and mammon (Luke 16:13)

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.
Why did Henry VIII found Anglicanism? Lust.
Thanks for the video. I've been secular for the last ten years. Long depressing sorry I don't want to go into. But basically I watched the lion the witch and the wardrobe and it just made me really want to try again and my journey brought me to the Anglican Church. 😊 I like the Anglican Church is unique and wonderful because it is gentle and flexible and that makes it perfect for someone like me that comes from a very rough strict unhealthy background and needs that room and flexibility.
It was my love of liturgy in the Book of Common Prayer that made me become Anglican, and it was my love of doctrine in the Book of Concord that made me become Lutheran - while retaining the catholic liturgy.
I have never understood why Christians of one denomination find it necessary to proselytize those of another?! If we are baptized into Christ then we should be one/united with Christ.
Agreed
*@mgerard365,
EXACTLY,* brother in Christ. Amen!
I just joined an ACNA after the split in the UMC. I don’t know why I had not earlier moved my letter. I am deeply moved every time by the liturgy.
Wonderful talk. I am an English Anglican and very interested in Celtic Christianity. In my opinion the Reformation took us back to the Pre-Papacy era of the Christians in my country (Synod of Whitby in 664 AD was when we came under the yoke of Rome, sadly). Thank you for mentioning the Celtic Christians.
Talking with an Eastern Orthodox friend last evening, an accurate nom de Guerre for faithful Anglican stuff occurred to me: "Western Orthodox..." 💖 😍
Society of St Alban and St Sergius.
Went to Solemn Mass at an Anglican Church for Christmas Eve and that’s exactly what it felt like to me, even closer to Eastern Orthodox than Roman Catholic.
I am looking very closely at joining the orthodox Anglican church. Thank you for this very informative video!
Sending this to everyone I know
Eastern Orthodox here. I just want to send message of love and respect and support to Anglicans ☦
Methodist here, but loving our common Anglican roots.
I was raised Anglicans but been having my doubts n switching to Catholic or orthodox this channel has helped me with information
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]

No thanks! You guys are to fanatical and claim to have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
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.
Anglican youtubers: Have pictures of beautiful historic cathedrals all over their videos, then proceed to encourage everyone to leave those old historic cathedrals and join the ACNA which has fewer cathedrals than the PCA. (I'm just messing with you, love your stuff)
If you are curious, I would say the ACNA has the best per capita record with the construction of new cathedrals in the short time it has existed. Look for example at St. Peter's in Tallahassee
If they are encouraging people to join ACNA, they are not Anglican. Not in Anglican Communion, therefore not Anglican.

Overall well done. You should perhaps do some more research and inquiry concerning the issue of baptismal regeneration.
Can you interview Matthew Joyner a former EO priest who becomes an Anglican?
The music, the music, especially the English hymnody, is another reason to be Anglican!
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.
It depends on which diocese you are in. Many do not ordain women, while some allow for it.

Watching this video this morning led me to visit my local Episcopal Church. 😊
The local ACNA church is two counties away, and the local APA church is too "Catholic" for my taste. Also, they only have one service, and it was too early.
There isn’t an acna church where I live. But there are a few Episcopal churches and one Anglican Catholic Church which about 5 minutes form my house. What do you think about ACC?
I have no problems with the ACC. I would encourage you to check them out!

Sorry, I sent that by mistake. The reason I ask is because I have an affinity for both Anglicanism and Orthodoxy. I know that the Antiochian Orthodox Church is establishing Western Rite congregations in the US. Would you ever consider that over Anglicanism? If not, why?
I am Catholic but I think the Anglican Denomination is closest to us.
No they aren't, the closest would be Eastern Orthodox
@@nathanielus5296 No it's not, the closes would be other Roman Catholic sects and factions that are not in unity with Roman Catholic faction of Bishop of Rome.
@@nathanielus5296 Technically, SSPX would be the closest, followed by PNCC, then followed by the Orthodox.
The various Old Catholic churches, and branches such as Catholic Church USA.
It depends, Anglicanism was established as a Calvinist tradition. The more RC doctrines and liturgical worship didn't rlly arrive until the Oxford Movement in 1833, and even now Anglicans have a sizeable Reformed portion.
It seems Anglicanism is the same on predestination and election as Calvin but Lutheranism sees predestination and election different. I ame I seeing if Anglicanism holds to limited atonement or do they have an objective justification view like Lutherans ?
I cannot find an Anglican church in my area that outwardly adheres to the 39 Articles and the uses the Authorized Version of the Bible.
I suggest you study Gavin Ashenden.
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.
I am interested in the episcopal church. What is a good resource that outlines their theological positions ?
The episcopal church does not have theological positions anymore. I am in the Anglican Church in North America. You can be a minister or even a bishop in the Episcopal church and not believe in God.

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. If you don't think apostolic succession is necessary for valid sacraments, then what is the point emphasizing it?
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.
Mark 9:38-40 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us." But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is for us.
I agree on many points of your reasons why we should be Anglican. I think it is great to see someone to defend the faith that I chose and was baptised many years ago. At the same time, I am concerned about how Episcopal church has embraced LGBT community and how it conflicts with the Christian faith. I wonder if your reason number 2 could also be the downfall of the faith. We definitely need more videos like this for the Anglican faith. Thanks
@@oki1966 I agree that the Episcopal church has serious problems. Have you looked into the ACNA or Continuing Anglican churches?
@@Young_Anglican i believe ecumenism will be downfall- a oneness with ths Catholic Church
If you are a Anglican, know that even your ministers know that you are worshipping on the Catholic day of worship (Sunday) and not the Biblical Day of worship (Sabbath Exod 20: 8-11).
Anglican: “Many people think that Sunday is the Sabbath, but neither in the New Testament nor in the early church, is there anything to suggest that we have any right to transfer the observance of the seventh day of the week to the first. The Sabbath was and is Saturday and not Sunday…” Rev. Lionel Beere, Church and People, September 1, 1947.
To observe 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,
I used to go to the Episcopal Church with my grandpa when I was young. I've been enjoying studying about Eastern Catholics. I would love to attend an orthodox Anglican Church. 🕯️⛪
I left Episcopaganism a few years ago. When a church capitulates its values to those of the secular culture it's no longer following Christ. It's following the lost.
Bonus points for using the word Episcopaganism.
Can you recommend an 'Early Church Fathers' book? (I have a Catholic one but it is very biased towards that faith and seems to cherry pick).
You wouldn't happen to be talking about the Jurgens set would you?
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]
If I am going to be an "Anglican", I'll be joining an ordinariate as a Catholic.
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"
The one issue that the Anglican Church has to deal with, is the ordination of women priests and the consecration of female bishops. Doesn't this separate the Anglican Church from like the Catholic/Orthodox? Doesn't this mean that AS has been lost?
This is a genuine question. They fought so hard for it against the Pope in Apostolicae Curae, then wrecked it through their own hubris. There is an organised Society in the CoE which refuses the Eucharistic from priestesses and will maintain AS but it is a vilified small group.

What Anglican denomination do you yourself belong to?
Edit: lol just got to the part where you said your part of the ACNA
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.
One vital area the ACNA seems to have no regulatory disciplinary desire to correct, are that the seperate dioceses have the freedom to ordain and install women priests.
Which Bible translation do most Anglican churches use? I’ve been curious about Anglicanism and found this video and now I’m more curious!
It definitely depends on the country. The King James was originally the Anglican translation of course but today I find that in America the ESV is popular as well as the NRSV.

I was part of the ACNA and left because 1/2 the congregation didn't believe Adam was a real person, the bishop was a carismatic, and they kept wanting to ordain women. Confessional Lutheranism has been so much better.

After being an Episcopalian, then a low church Anglican, my family has found the Orthodox Anglican church.
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.
Women's ordination is always the first red flag that something is going terribly wrong.
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.
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.
I’m Jewish but why the hell would you choose to leave Judaism for this Avodah Zarah?
Jesus is our Messiah.
I wanted to be in the Church Jesus founded.
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.
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
I am so proud because I am a member of anglican church
Anglicans and other protestants mistakenly believe they celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. No they don’t! Catholic and Orthodox only celebrate the Lord’s Supper as God intended. In John 6 Jesus Christ asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood for compelling reasons. Later, at the Lord’s Supper, Jesus Christ showed us how to obey His request to eat and drink of Him via blessed bread and wine that has miraculously become His flesh and His blood. The 39 articles of the Church of England calls this “wicked” and “repugnant”. Please read the core relevant passages on the Lord's Supper
John 6:51-56
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.”
John 6:60-68 excerpts
60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this offend you? …64 But among you there are some who do not believe.”… 64 For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe…. 66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. 67 So Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you also wish to go away?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Note: The disbelieving Jews clearly understood that Jesus was speaking plainly by the plainly speaking reply of “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” These disbelieving Jews refused to accept that Jesus Christ could give us His flesh and blood to eat and drink and they turned their backs on Him.
Mark 14:22-24 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
22 While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
1 Corinthians 10:15-16 - St Paul
15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 11:19 -20 & 29 - St Paul
19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine. 20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper… 29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves.
Catholic and Orthodox Pastors only have received the Sacrament of Holy Orders from a Bishop of Apostolic Succession. Therefore protestant Pastors do not have the faculty to consecrate the bread and wine to become the body and blood of Jesus Christ so they remain bread and wine. Our one true God is most gracious and wise and one should lovingly accept His divine gift because “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jesus Christ).
If you want to obey God and partake of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ then be Catholic or Orthodox.
God bless you

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.

Some Catholic Writings are anti-Bible.
For example
Decretals, epistolae decretales, are papal letters that have a claim to universal validity and clarify questions of Church law.
The Roman Decretalia states the Pope can pronounce sentences and judgments in contradiction to the right of nations, and to the law of God and man .... He can free himself from the commands of the apostles, he being their superior, and from the rules of the Old Testament,”
“The pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.”-Decretal de Translat. Episcop. Cap.
The Catholic 10 Commandments found in Catechisms Sections 2052 -2557 are DIFFERENT to God's 10 Commandments found in Exodus 20.

Anglicanism is the only true Faith. If God wasn’t English, why would he write the Bible in that language?

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.
Do Angelican churches allow same sex marriage?
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.
Sorry, I'll stick with the Book of Concord as my confession of faith.
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?
Especially if we're supposed to know a good tree by its good fruit and a bad by its bad. To put it lightly, going in on women's ordination seems to be the gateway to obvious and grevious liturgical abuses and outright bad teaching.
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 ?
Many Anglican bishops received AS from Old Catholic Church branches that have maintained AS.
@@Lepewhiyes, that’s what I said in my post…
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).
@@SMD2308 yes. It was all about power and supremacy over the church. He wanted to appoint his own bishops to make them loyal to the king rather than to the Bible. Very deceitful

I have no denomination.
