What we believe

We are a traditionalist Anglo-Catholic Church upholding Biblical orthodoxy and Apostolic tradition through the patrimony of the English Book of Common Prayer. 

  • As Anglo-Catholics, we value the Church of England's inheritance from before the 16th century Reformation and, back further, before the schism of 1063 which divided the Church into West and East. We uphold the ancient faith of the undivided Church, including the male priesthood instituted by Christ the night before He died. 
  • We believe that the Bible “containeth all things necessary to salvation.” Like a blueprint of the mind of God, the Bible is the key to understanding all reality, and we seek to study it and conform our hearts to God’s. 
  • We understand the Church as being grounded in the tradition which Our Lord entrusted to the Apostles, faithfully handed down through their successors, all faithful and orthodox Bishops of the Church, to this day. 
  • We receive all of this through the Book of Common Prayer, first compiled in 1549. A repository of the ancient wisdom of the church for the English-speaking peoples in the best and most beautiful of our language, the Prayer Book gives a spiritual rule of life that everybody can embrace.
