Ah so an alternate name for the Continuing Anglican movement. 👍

And what of the English Church before that, when Rome barely knew it existed and was using a Syrian liturgy?

I don’t mean to come across as rude here but if you think Anglican ecclesiology has anything to do with Henry, I can only take you so seriously as a student of Anglican history and/or theology.

It has a little to do with Henry and his descendants.

Well at least that narrows you down a little bit GKC. Not that I’m surprised, I’d have pegged you as Continuing Anglican if pushed to guess after I found out you were Anglican. Glad to know my senses aren’t completely off base (other than not picking up that you were Anglican initially). 🤷

Enough exposure is bound to lead to conclusions, eventually. I use the terms Continuum/Continuing Anglican more often than I do Anglican,* tout court*. That can lead to other sorts of confusion.

A History of the Church in England by Moorman would be one.

Only with respect to the fact that Henry’s claims were taken seriously; whereas Prince John and William the Conquerer’s were not.

What is ever so amusing about it, though, is that they still manage to be motley. Putting the UEC in the same movement as APCK must make anyone outside of such an arrangement shake their heads in bewilderment.

Maybe anyone outside Anglicanism. I don’t find them being under the same movement that odd. I mean Anglicanism has encompassed high, low and everything in between for a long time. And of course it still does in the ECUSA. It would make sense that what I’d describe as one of Anglicanism’s hallmarks would carry over to the continuing movement as well if in a less formal manner of union.

Right, sorry. That’s what I meant by outside of any such arrangement. I should have said Anglicanism.

Thanks for posting. Can I ask a favor?

It seems every thread with Anglicanism eventually degrades into a theological argument. I started this thread to kind of keep off that topic. While we have lasted 15 pages (Amazing!), if you want to discuss the theological differences, please start a thread.

Stories of conversion are welcome, self deprecating humor is on topic, and the motleyness of The Anglican Communion always seems to sneak in (as long as GKC is around) and butter discussion always welcome.

I just want to have a place where people can share a little of their story without worrying about being slammed…

Now back to the regular programming…🙂

Darn, almost got it copied and deleted before someone quoted. Was just going to put it as a general post, not a “reply” as it was really more addressed to everyone…;).

You know it’s funny, because all of a sudden I have a newfound appreciation for historic anglicanism: the prayer book, the rite and liturgy, even the 39 articles. Maybe I SHOULD stay on this side of the Tiber

One thing is certain, the 39 Articles, at least in its entirety, and the Catholic Faith can’t be reconciled. They specifically condemn several aspects of the Apostolic Faith.

I no expert in this. From what I understand it was other individuals who were interested in more substantially changing the faith and practice of the English. But it was Henry who allowed that to happen by severing ties with the Catholic Church and establishing him, a temporal ruler, as head of the church.

Motley is Anglicanism.

This was something claimed by many more kings of England than just Henry. Again, Henry was just noticed more.
