Anglicanism considers itself to stand within the primitive Catholictradition, preserving a solid scriptural basis; a ministry of bishops, priests and deacons in unbroken succession from the time of the Apostles; a sacramental order; and a recognition of church tradition which is nevertheless freed from medieval excesses and superstitions.

In the 19th century, Anglican missionaries often failed to distinguish between evangelization and acculturation, tacitly assuming that to be Anglican was to be English. This led to difficulties in later years. In the 20th century, there has been tension between the claims of spirituality and those of social welfare. The church has always been conce...
There are three primary reasons why I support the restoration of the so-called “historic episcopate” in the ELCA: (1) such a restoration would be a step toward closer identification with the catholic tradition of the church; (2) it would be a step closer toward ecumenical unity, particularly in light of the WCC Faith and Order document, Baptism,...
