1. Is new life downtown becoming an Anglican Church?
\nNo. New Life Downtown is a parish of New Life Church. Your giving goes 100% to New Life Church. I am \u201csent\u201d\u009d as an Anglican priest to serve New Life Church. As such, I continue to be under Pastor Brady\u2019s covering and authority, along with the elders of New Life Church. While New Life Downtown does not come under any Anglican authority, I personally hold a \u201cdual citizenship\u201d\u009d of sorts, with Bishop Ken Ross as my covering in the Anglican world.<\/p>\n
2. What do Anglicans believe?
\nAnglican theology is, to put it simply, Protestant theology. Their central document is the Bible — they are committed to the Bible as the Word of God — it is God breathed and it is the truth by which we order our lives. They also believe that Jesus is the unique Son of God — that salvation is found only in His sacrificial death and resurrection. This faith in what the Bible reveals is summed up in the historic statements of belief such as the 39 Articles and the Nicene Creed.<\/p>\n
Because Anglicanism is not a denomination with a solitary authority figure\u201d\u201dit is a communion of bishops\u201d\u201dthe diversity within Anglicanism worldwide is rich and varied. The majority of Anglicans are in the global south\u201d\u201din Africa and Asia\u201d\u201d where Christian orthodoxy and missionary zeal are combined in ways reminiscent of the early church. The majority of them are Evangelicals who affirm the authority of Scripture and embrace the work of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n
