Some thoughts on church growth and evangelism in the anglican catholic church

A valuable contribution to the essential issue of church growth and evangelism from Canon Stephen Scarlett, an ACC priest in California, USA.

Talks about Mission

Since writing the above link on Church Growth, the author was consecrated Bishop Stephen Scarlett of the Anglican Catholic Diocese of the Holy Trinity.

Dean’s Blog

The Dean of the North, Fr Jonathan Munn OblOSB, maintains a blog on which he posts reflections, sermons and observations about the Christian life.

In 1977 an international congress of nearly 2,000 Anglican bishops, clergy and lay people met in St. Louis, Missouri, to take the actions necessary to establish an orthodox jurisdiction in which traditional Anglicanism would be maintained, by returning to the fullness of the Faith of the undivided CATHOLIC CHURCH. Acting according to the principles determined by the seven great Ecumenical Councils of the ancient Church and adopting initially the name “Anglican Church of North America”, they placed themselves under the jurisdiction of the retired bishop of Springfield, Illinois, the Right Reverend Albert Chambers.

In January 1978 Bishop Chambers expanded that jurisdiction and devolved it upon others, by taking order for the consecration of four more bishops. From these four bishops have come two jurisdictions, the Anglican Catholic Church and the Anglican Province of Christ the King, which now maintain orthodox Anglicanism in North America and beyond. Bishop Chambers died in 1993. His steadfast faith and courage earned him a notable place in the history of world Anglicanism.

Below is the text of the Affirmation of St Louis, the statement which was formulated by the Congress of St Louis and that affirms the continuance of Orthodox, Catholic Anglicanism.

Constitution & Canons

Many of the Churches of the Continuing Anglican Church movement presently lack a resident priest, and must perforce be ministered to by Lay Readers, who, of course, cannot celebrate the Eucharist, and are not authorized to conduct the AnteCommunion, and thus will lead Morning or Evening Prayer. Because lay readers do not normally preach sermons of their own composition, there is a need for homilies they can read. Since Morning and Evening Prayer do not use the same lectionary as does the Eucharist, it seems appropriate that there be homilies based on the lessons actually read. The writers hope you find this collection of sermons helpful.
Bishop Mead has been happy to authorise and endorse this resource.
