Mission Statement
Preserving the legacy of classical Anglicanism in North America by returning to the culture, doctrine, and worship of the old English tradition.
About
Anglicanism is the religion of the historic Church of England: a Christian tradition deeply rooted and stretching back millennia, which was refined through the English Reformation without losing its distinct catholic heritage.
Many are being drawn to the Anglican way of being a Christian in 21st century America. That being said, very few know what this actually means, including some newer Anglican churches. Being Anglican is much more than just appreciating a theology, taking on an identity, or donning an aesthetic. In order to be properly called “Anglican” one has to be subject to the clerical authorities, practices, and beliefs that have defined Anglicans for centuries; anything less is dishonest.
We at Anglican Renaissance wish to support an “ad fontes” retrieval of this classic Anglican heritage stretching back prior to the progressive revisionism of the 20th and 21st Century. We desire a resurgence of the rich theological inheritance that the great Anglican saints, (Richard Hooker, C.S. Lewis, George Whitfield, Lancelot Andrewes, E.B. Pusey, Julian of Norwich) sought to hand down to us. We wish to see individuals and churches more fully live into the classical Anglican tradition.
We seek to promote the orthodox expression of Anglicanism in North America, seen predominantly in the Anglican Church in North America and Anglican Continuum.

I die in the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Faith, professed by the whole Church before the division of east and west. More particularly I die in the Communion of the Church of England as it stands distinguished from all Papal and Puritan Innovations, and as it adheres to the doctrine of the Cross.
