Wonderful video father! It is my prayer that we all may be joined together once more as one communion. God bless you and keep you.

Hey there. I love your channel and these videos are great for learning about Anglicanism and Christianity in general. Out of curiosity I wonder if I could ask you to pray for me right now. My girlfriend and I are currently in the middle of moving from the Baptist church into an Apostolic tradition. Her family is Greek Orthodox and we both attended a Pasqa service last weekend. But there is this great and welcoming Anglican Catholic Church that I really want to be apart of. It’s even run by a Bishop and the community and people there have been such a blessing to me that I would really rather not leave them and go into Orthodoxy (we’re both already baptized so I don’t feel comfortable with doing that over again either). I love your channel and I appreciate what you do. She seems to not really be open to the idea preferring Eastern Orthodoxy and we’re working towards marriage. Right now I just trust God about everything but I am glad to still have channels like this too.

Thank you for your kind words.You certainly have my prayers! I'm sorry that your situation is complicated. This is always a difficult aspect of relationships between people and between churches. I pray that, even if she doesn't join the ACC, she may at least appreciate it and its importance for you. I would also add that there is not a great consistency within the EOC about baptism. Most, I believe should and will accept your baptism - a few won't. You must go with your conscience here and she with hers. Ultimately, I believe that the ACC is fully as orthodox as the EOC - we subscribe to the same Oecumenical Councils and Church Fathers. I think we have to show that we have the same Mind of Christ through our devotion to prayer. If I may suggest that you encourage the use of ikons at your home and venerating them in the same way, you might find that tensions ease a little.

Hey prehaps it would be worth looking at the Orthodox Church as well as the early church father’s and the first 7 ecumenical councils if you are into patristics as well as church history. Theres a lot of good information you can find there on the early church. A book I would also recommend is rock and sand by fr Josiah Trenham the book goes into the reformation from an orthodox perspective and is definitely worth a read for sure if you have the time.

I have certainly looked into the Orthodox Church and even examined their beliefs in my academic dissertations. My recommendations are Fr McGuckin's book The Eastern Orthodox Church, Fr Damick's Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy, Bp Kallistos Ware's The Orthodox Church, as well as many more.

Father does the ACC allow non-ACC members so (ACNA members, RC members, EO, protestants, etc) to take the eucharist? If so, what is the theological justifciation because the RC and EO churches do not allow any other churches to participate. Thank you!

We allow anyone who has been episcopally confirmed by a valid bishop, and who affirms the Real and Objective Physical Presence of Christ in the Holy Sacrament. The EO and RCC restrict communion for reasons of polity, not theology,.

Which edition of the Book of Common Prayer do Anglican Catholics usually use? Is there a normative edition? Do you also use the Anglican Office Book, 2nd Edition?
@Warwickensis

The archetype is the 1549 BCP. Our Bishop usually celebrates with the 1549 Canon of the Mass. In the US, the normal text is the 1928 BCP. We don't use the Anglican Office book.

@Acek-ok9dp the Affirmation of St Louis sets out the principles on which the Anglican Catholic Church understands its polity. It enshrines the Book of Common Prayer as the basis of its liturgy together with the missals.

@@Warwickensis I thought most in the UK used the 1662 book, which isn't all that different from the 1928 I grew up with here. I have a copy of the 1549, I will have to remember to bring it with me if I ever get back to your side of the pond.

@Booger414 the 1662 BCP is the (technically) authorised edition for the CofE. For the ACC, it's always been 1928 US BCP, but for us in the UK who don't have the 1928 "in our blood" we use the 1549. The 1662 canon is not authorised in the ACC, but Mattins and Evensong are practically identical across the three prayerbooks, Venite notwithstanding. The 1662 canon of the Mass is too truncated which a comparison with the 1928 BCP shows.

If you had to join a church in the US as a layman, which would you choose? In my theologically naive opinion, in a country like this, where there's never really been a state church, the differences among RCC, EO, and Anglicanism seem fairly irrelevant, and it seems the community would be a much more important consideration (and not necessarily people you "like", but who you could work well with in sustaining an active Christian lifestyle). As for the doctrinal distinctions, I'd say 9 out of 10 Episcopalians have never heard of the 39 Articles, 9.5 out of 10 Catholics openly denounce the Pope as a heretic, and 11 out of 10 Orthodox would be unable to explain their distinctives to a Western-minded person, anyway. Certainly, no complementary Bell, Book, and Candle would be handed out in any of these institutions in an American setting

Well, personally, I'd stick to the Anglican Catholic Church or perhaps one of its sisters - the Anglican Province of America or the Anglican Church in America. We might be small but that's usually because the people who join us are more aware of the need of good theological education and practice.

With the Antiochian Archdiocese in UK and Ireland now embracing the Western Rite, hopefully the ACC can join the Orthodox Church - this would be the best case ending. We need a new Bonn reunion where traditional Anglicans and Union of Scranton join the Orthodox as Western Rite. ☦️

While coming together is obviously the goal, it always seems to come down to the semantics of who will join who. Much like the matter of who left who when the continuum was formed.

Yes, that is the problematic part. I hope old wounds don't get reopened. I suppose we should focus on the Church we want to be together rather than the churches that we were when the splits happened.
