Anglican

Wednesday evening church meetings have been a tradition in U.S. Baptist Churches for over a century. Originally called 'Prayer Meetings,' they have come to be both prayer time and Bible Study time meetings in most Baptist Churches today.

It's innabilility to decide what it "wants to be when it grows up"? Is it conservative/liberal/protestant/catholic/Armenian/calvanist? The Anglican church need not deal with issues such as womens ordination/homosexual marriage blessings until it can answer simple questions IN UNITY as to where their source of authority is.

In a nutshell: there are lots of different Christian denominations, and the Church of England is one of these. A bit more detail: a Christian is anyone who confesses faith in the Trinitarian God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and who acknowledges Jesus as divine and the Son of God. There are many different expressions of the Christian religion that have grown up through history, in different times and places. From the early church in the first century CE gradually Christianity divided into different groups, based in different cultures. These are called denominations and include Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox. Christianity in England had its own identity for about nine hundred years, and gradually came more directly under the control and influence of the Catholic Church in Rome. Henry the Eighth, for a combination of personal and political reasons, separated the English Church from it's subordination to Rome. Under Elizabeth the 1st this separation was more strongly established, and became the Church of England. Initially the Church of England was not so much inspired by the Reformation; the motivation was to remain Catholic but independent. However, as the CHurch of England became established, it took on more Reformation features. That is why the Church of England today has characteristics that are both Catholic and Reformed.

There is no Catholic saint named Graeme.

Vicars are paid by the Church Commissioners - an organisation that 'employs' clergy among other things they do. Vicars are not paid a 'wage' or 'salary' but a stipend. This is a sum of money, payable monthly, that is meant to enable the vicar to live so that he or she can be released from other employment carry out the duties of a parish priest. The Commissioners receive their money for clergy stipends partly from investment, but a great deal of it is paid by the dioceses - areas of the country roughly as large as a county under the direction and care of a bishop. The dioceses in turn receive their payment from the individual parishes by the 'Parish Share'. Each parish is assessed to determine its ability to pay so that affluent parishes in affluent areas pay far more for their parish share than less affluent parishes. This is the fairest method, as poor parishes in depived areas are often those in greatest need of a parish priest or even two not only to lead worship, but also for the greater need of pastoral care in those areas. The Parish Share is paid from an individual parish's funds - raised through the collection plate and by fundraising. Hence churches receive no payment except that which is donated by their members and friends or through fundraising, or occasionally from weddings or church hall lettings. As an example, in my own diocese, a deprived church in a poor area might be expected to pay anything from £5,000 - £12,000 per year for their parish share. A large, affluent church might be expected to pay over £50,000 per year, therefore helping subsidise the poorer church. In my own church which is jointly Anglican and Methodist, in a deprived area, we have to find around £22,000 per year just to pay our parish share and the equivalent to the Methodist Church to help pay for a part time Methodist minister - before we even consider other expenses like service costs, photocopying, heat/light/maintenance and our tithe (10%) to charity etc. Nowadays, many more are seeking ordination later in life, sometimes becoming voluntary priests whilst working at a normal job in the week, or by living on a retirement pension and being a voluntary priest if they retire early. These 'non-stipendary ministers' (NSMs) help free more funds for the church in general to help poorer parishes and to aid mission overseas in the porest areas of the world. Another trend is that sometimes an income can be generated by a priest ordained late in life renting out their home if they have one, to provide an income. They are then allowed to live in a vicarage free of charge in return for which they do some of the duties of a parish priest. These 'house-for-duty' priests are becoming more common in small parishes where not enough work is available for a full time minister. The big advantage of the Anglican system is that the vicar has the 'cure of souls' of a parish. This means that anyone in the parish, whether churchgoer or not, has a legal right to pastoral care by their vicar, as the Anglican Church is the established church in England. Therefore, when your local church holds out the begging bowl for funds, please remember that the position of the vicar can only be provided if the parish can afford to pay at least something towards his or her stipend. Yu may not need his or her services (no pun intended) at the moment, but someone else will.

Ordinarily, a Catholic should only receive Holy Communion in a Roman Catholic Mass. Most other churches are not in communion with the Pope and disagree on certain doctrines, and so have removed themselves and established themselves as a separate church. Catholics believe that because of this, their communion is not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. To participate in their communion would mean that one would be participating in their service, which would be to deny the Catholic Faith's teachings on the Eucharist, etc. Therefore, a Catholic usually cannot receive communion in these churches. There are possibly some exceptions - see your local Catholic priest to learn about it.

A s far as I understand things Parliament didn't establish the Anglican Church, but it did pass Laws to regulate behaviour in certain matter s.

A. The Prayer Book!

many people, such as myself, consider the first prayer book the best one, it is merely,[more or less,] a translation of the Sarum Rite![ Procter & Frere].

Unfortunately those people of a radical mindset preferred a less Catholic one and this appeared in 1552. Luckily it didn't last and after Queen Mary's death and Eliza's accession the Queen was prevented by the Protestant pressure from returning to the Prayer Book by a mixture of gentry and Radicals , who each for their own reason didn't want to bring the original back! The Queen then authorised such amendments as were necessary to make the 1552 book acceptable to Catholics!This by law!

B.

On Elizabeth's accession, the Services were in Latin from the Sarum Missal which was the legal book, there was no Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Pole died a few hours after his cousin the Queen. All the air heads immediately began to change things for themselves , times were volatile and things looked frightening. Queen Elizabeth, under guidance proclaimed that all should continue as it had been under her sister. There should be no alteration of the Latin Services until Parliament met, while she was to be crowned according to the Old Rite and she attended the Latin Mass!

C.

When parliament met in January 1559 the first thing it looked at was the Act of Supremacy. Immediately things began with a renewal of ten acts of Henry VIII and one from Edward VI. The renewed Acts included Appeals to Rome,[Forbidden.] Submission of Clergy. Dispensations , but it is to be noted that it did not revive the Supreme Head, legislation, the last person to use this was Queen Mary.

What this means is that the Church of England returned the position of the Church to the time of Henry VIII's last years at least as far as the pope and crown were concerned. It then went on to abolish the Supreme headship!

D.

When the Act of Supremacy was passed, Parliament went on to make the New Prayer Book of 1549 the only legal one.This act also contained provisions for the punishment of Separatists and other Dissidents, i.e, Romanists.

As you see the actions taken were not to establish the Church in england, there was no need of that, it was already established by custom and practice, what it did was to prevent the wild men, Protestant and Romanists from sliding in to civil war!

Yes, the Anglican minister, George Whitefield, had a great deal of influence on Americans during the Great Awakening. He is known to have traveled over 60,000 miles on horseback during his ministry preaching the Gospel. This was during the 1700s.

Thomas Wolsey (c.march 1473 - 29 November 1530; sometimes spelled Woolsey) was an English political figure and cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. When Henry VIII became king of England in 1509, Wolsey became the King's almoner

Being a minister means that when you retire you not only lose your 'job' but also your home, as a vicarage or parsonage is provided free whilst you undertake duties as a minister. In the Anglican church, all clergy are involved in a pension scheme so that when they retire a suitable pension is provided to live, in addition to the normal state pension. Furthermore, the Church of England will, if necessary, also provide them with a house at a nominal rent for the rest of their (or their spouse's) life. When Anglican priests retire, however, it is very unusual that they give up their work a priest. The Church of England makes good use of retired clergy either filling in during interregnums (periods between the leaving of one parish priest before a new one arrives) or in helping out in busy parishes, or in carrying out light duties for modest payment or just expenses. Nowadays, however, more people are coming into the church later in life, after they have already contributed to a pension scheme in a previous employment. Also, they may well have their own houses too, which they can rent out when they live in the vicarage, to help supplement the vicar stipend. Therefore when they retire they may well have a reduced pension from a previous occupation, plus a reduced clergy pension, plus the nest egg received from their house rental, so usually retirement for clergy should not present any financial hardship. Finally, in my own experience, most retired clergy continue to work until they drop - in reduced duties, filling in or helping out. The oldest I knew was a vicar near where I lived a few years ago who was 101 and still very willingly and wonderfully active in the pulpit.

The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.

Anglicanism teaches that only good can exist of a loving God. They further affirm there is but one God who is all powerful and all good. The existence of evil represents the question that if evil exists, God is either incomplete in either power or goodness to prevent the suffering of his children. When issue comes up, most use western theological explanations such God is good and created all in his image or goodness, but certain creatures must be given the ability to decide for themselves and choose between good and evil.
