I have been wanting to write an article like this for a long time. But Newman beat me to it. Good for him! He clearly articulates why I am an “Anglican”, and continue to serve, worship, be instructed and corrected within its structure. I am not uncritical of anglicanism (even consevative forms of it). However, as all churches are deeply flawed and sinful, Anglicanism for me still stands out as a real attempt at establishing a wider, biblically-faithful Church, centered and united not only by a common Faith, but also on a common worship and inter-congregational relationships.
Go and see why Newman is an Anglican.
Thanks for the link! It’s encouraging to know that there are other young people out there who have clearly thought about this and are Anglicans on principle, particularly as it’s something I’ve really had to wrestle with.
I hope all is going well at All Saints’ Belfast.
