Stewart Townend understood Cranmer!<br />Cranmer's Book of Homilies can be easily googled.<br /><br />Martin Bucer EpigonusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-72639349873302380902013-09-04T19:16:16.825+12:002013-09-04T19:16:16.825+12:00Oh, I'm also a literal Anabaptist - I was bapt...Oh, I'm also a literal Anabaptist - I was baptised Methodist as a baby and Baptist when I was 16.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619381698748105116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-49610942789184285792013-09-04T19:09:23.938+12:002013-09-04T19:09:23.938+12:00I'm kind of a high church Mennonite...

And the reference. You could use the actual URL for people here who may not (shockingly!) have actually read the Homilies (from http://www.anglicanlibrary.org/homilies/index.htm)<br /><br />Blessings<br /><br />Boscoliturgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822769747947139669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-73393785998695319962013-09-04T02:18:26.207+12:002013-09-04T02:18:26.207+12:00"I am an orthodox charismatic evangelical cat..."I am an orthodox charismatic evangelical catholic."<br /><br />An evangelical is one who believes in the inspiration and sufficiency of Scripture, and the centrality of the atoning sacrifice of Christ. That's certainly how Cranmer put it in The Book of Homilies. How is Anglicanism different from the Orthodox Churches of the East? Does it possess the same ministry and sacraments? What is 'protestantism with subtractions'? How are non-Anglican Protestant churches defective in their ministry or doctrine?<br />MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-23140448716921374322013-09-03T18:26:55.056+12:002013-09-03T18:26:55.056+12:00I am an orthodox charismatic evangelical catholic....I am an orthodox charismatic evangelical catholic.<br />And Anglicanism is catholicism without the additions and protestantism without the subtractions.<br /><br />Blessings<br /><br />Boscoliturgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822769747947139669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-86046114318171840952013-09-03T16:28:11.347+12:002013-09-03T16:28:11.347+12:00Make that Anglo-Celtic Charsmatic. :) That makes f...Make that Anglo-Celtic Charsmatic. :) That makes far more sense of where I am theologically and spiritually.

I agree with you that ...Your never boring Bryden! <br /><br />I agree with you that Reformed Catholic, a fusion of Reformation principles (the five Sola's) with Catholic tradition is the best description of Anglicanism. But that's still a broad descriptor within which other qualifiers (Lutheran-Calvinist-Charismatic....) may exist. <br /><br />By the way, my own journey out of Calvinism to a more Anglo-Lutheran-Charismatic theology is entirely your fault! ;) The conversation we had about human systems being imposed on Scripture was the catalyst.<br /><br />If I remember right I owe you lunch and a beer.
