Archbishop Of Canterbury Has Only Met God In RO CHURCH

[Ebor]

Christ is among us!
It just goes to show your larger point that making blanket assertions by lifting quotes out of their specific context can really backfire on us.
In Christ,
Rd. David

A wise observation, Reader David. This thread was started by a misleading title and a sentence that was not true about what the Archbishop said. Adding to this was a claim for EO that ignored the rest of the account. How did this action make make EO look good to those who took the time to read the entire portion at the primary source that was linked to, I wonder?

Glory to Jesus Christ
.....the tolls covered by EZ pass (OK - that last bit on tolls was a joke, Father Seraphim of blessed memory forgive me but I couldn't help myself).

Show us the Fathers who founded the anglican communion and the continual Communion with the Church of Pentecost and then the anglican branch theory may gain some merit, but for now, what began as a schism from heretical Rome and then became an arm of syncretism and sectarianism is no "church" which can claim Apostolic foundation--by their own approach they have cut themselves off--their own 39 articles are a rejection of Apostolic Faith. That explains why this prelate NEVER MET GOD in the anglican "church"...Vincentian Canon anyone?!

No assault rifle was fired. All their tenuous points rest on the assertion that they share the same tradition as we do and because they remain in anglicanism they can best speak for it. Well, they were challenged to provide a link to the Apostolic Church and agreement with the Vincentian Canon, the sine non qua of what is "catholic". Their 39 Articles were brought forth to illustrate how they are outside the belief of the Orthodox Church, the Church of the Fathers, hence rejecting the Vincentian Canon. It was done to illustrate once and for all that they are outside the Church and the only way for them to lend foundation to their pretensions is to enter Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is the UNA SANCTA--there can be no other message. So, no, the safety on my kalashnikov is still on. LOL!

There are western rite Orthodox.

Who started the original Orthodox Anglican Church?

Joseph of Arimathea - who planted his staff on Weary-All Hill, and the Holy Thorn blooms to this day on Olde Christmas (Julian Calendar, tropical year). Interesting he is physically associated with both annual miracles of Christianity and both involve hills. "The blessing of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren."

Protestantism in both Luthern and Anglican form was born in the political ambitions of men seeking divorce. True Anglicanism (Joseph's form) was and is Orthodox.

When were these "True Anglicans" in Communion with the Orthodox Church?! How Orthodox were Henry VIII and Thomas Cranmer?! How do they, the "True Anglicans" view the 39 Articles and how are they in agreement with the Fathers?! St. Joseph of Arimathea did indeed witness in Britain--He witnessed Orthodoxy FIFTEEN CENTURIES before there was hint of reformation in Britain...no, syncretic sectarianism, anglicanism, is not Orthodoxy.

Notice foundation in the 20th century, 39 articles, not in communion with Orthodoxy nor even making pretension to be, etc., etc., etc.
"Old Catholic" is more Orthodox...

Church History
The Anglican Orthodox Church was organized on November 16, 1963 by the Most Reverend James Parker Dees, B.D., D.D. to preserve the basic tenets of Anglicanism, namely:

The Biblical Faith
The 1928 Book of Common Prayer
The Thirty-nine Articles of Religion
The Homilies
The Doctrines of the Anglican Reformers
The Biblical Morality
Moreover, the Anglican Orthodox Church helps build a Christian America by exposing evil and preaching the Gospel.

The Anglican Orthodox Church was established by the Most Reverend James Parker Dees, who was a priest, and others who saw that the Episcopal Church was rapidly repudiating its foundations. They wanted to preserve their traditions of Anglicanism as held by the Episcopel Church until recent years. The above founding members trained their people in the Bible, the 39 Articles of Religion, and the Book of Common Prayer. These Churches all continue to be members of a Worldwide Communion that is under the auspices of the Anglican Orthodox Church with International Headquarters in Statesville, North Carolina, USA.

The Anglican Orthodox Church focuses worship on God as He has commanded. The Bible makes it plain that individuals cannot come before God in their own right, because of the sinful nature of men who have disobeyed Him.

The Bible also makes plain that God has wrought in history a great program of salvation by which sinners are forgiven and again brought into communion with Him. That program is centered on the work of Jesus the Son of God, who was born of the virgin Mary in order that He might become our representative before God living for us bearing in His death the punishment for our sin.

Jesus declared, "No man cometh unto the Father but by me."
