Not if they are giving $acrificially to the church.

AnswerContrary to the above very cynical 'answer', the 39 articles of Faith, which were written in the 16th Century at the start of the Church of England, have to be accepted by all who are ordained in the Church of England. At the ordination service alllegiance is sworn to God, To Christ as head of the Church, to the monarch as supreme governor under Christ (currently HM Queen Elizabeth II) tothe Bishop, to scripture and to the 39 Articles of Faith.

Therefore for an episcopalian church member to be 'in communion' wth that church, as the episcopalians are in communion as a world wide Anglican church, members should accept the 39 Articles.

Factions within the Anglican Church have been caused recently especially by the US episcopalians accepting an actively homosexual bishop much to the anger of the African Churches who accept the 39 Articles - especially scripture - to the lettter. Therefore for the sake of unity within the church all episopalians should accept the 39 articles oof Faith.

What are the 39 articles of religion given by John Wesley in December 1784?

The 39 Articles of Religion can be found in the book of common prayer of the church of england. This can be accessed freely online at http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/england.htmThe 39 Articles of Religion were written by Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, in 1539. They were written as a recommended statement of faith for the Church of England, (Anglican Church). They are no longer binding in the way they once were. They are seen today more as a historical document rather than a general statement of faith.John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was originally an Anglican priest, thus, after founding the Methodist tradition, he used the 39 Articles of Religion as the primary statement of faith for his new branch of Christianity, with several minor alterations. One alteration in particular was that Wesley re-named the document 'The Articles of Religion' dropping 'the 39' as to distinguish them from the Anglican version of the document.Although the 39 Articles of Relgion are not seen as binding among the Church of England or any Anglican province, within the Methodist tradition, the 'Articles of Religion'are in fact binding and may not be canonically deviated from.The original 39 Articles of Religion as written by Thomas Cranmer, can be found in the back of any version of the Book of Common Prayer. The altered version as put forth by John Wesley for the Methodist tradition (The Articles of Religion) may be found in the back of any version of the Methodist Book of Order.
