Anglican

The Anglican Church is rich in history and passionate in its acceptance of all of God's people, without preconditions! We are a bridge between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants. We are a progressive church that empasizes reason and tradition in interpreting the Bible. We are not fundamentalist or rigid in our doctrinal beliefs. Some of the greatest and most profound theologians in history were and are Anglican. So many of our parishes and of course, all of our cathedrals, are architecturally beautiful and a testamont to our people's love of the church. I am always so awe-struck when I enter an Episcopal church and see the beautiful stain glass windows and the high altar! Its an added gift to attend an Episcopal service and experience the solemn hymns and the pageantry of the service including Holy Communion. We are a sacramental church that enjoys the gifts received from Jesus Christ. The Anglican Church encourages a diverse range of opinions and thought. We celebrate the uniqueness of all of God's people-no matter what their background is. I am an openly gay Episcopalian who feels loved and accepted everytime I attend my Church-unfortunately, I can't say that for other faiths including the Catholic and Baptist churches. If you want to be treated fairly without any conditions, then the Anglican Church has a place for you!

Henry VIII set up the Anglican church when the pope wouldn't give him a divorce.

No. We usually say a blessing thanking God for the food He has provided, but we pretty much eat anything without any sanction from the church.

the candles represent that Jesus is the light if the world.

Her official website makes no specific mention of any religious persuasion.

You mean 'Anglican'.

The Church of England is the original Anglican church, but many other denominations in other countries were originally planted by English Anglicans, and today are provinces of the worldwide 'Anglican Communion'.

The Anglican churches are Protestant in beliefs (or should be, according to their doctrinal basis, the 39 Articles), but retain the Episcopal form of church government (i.e. bishops).

The Anglican Church was brought to Britain from the Upper Room in Jerusalem! S. Dorotheus of Tyre tells us that S.Simon Zelotes brought the Christian/Catholic Church to Britain. S. Aristobulos, a friend of S.Paul, was Dorotheus tells us, the first Bishop of The British Church!This is agreed also by the Orthodox Historians.

Separatists believed that the Church of England was "unsalvageable," because there were still too many Catholic customs in practice, and should be done away with completely. Therefore the Separatists distanced themselves from the church and focused on simple, Biblical living.

One should never receive Holy Communion more than once per week; otherwise there is a danger of becoming "Holier than Thou." Persons receiving Holy Communion with greater frequency tend to become devout, and once that happens there's just no living with them!

Because that is the way Henry VIII set it up. The King or Queen is the head of the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury serves at the pleasure of the current ruler of England.

i found the following while searching the web: "[Apostle] Paul had a vision in which a man of Macedonia plead with Paul to come help him. Paul and his companions thus traveled to the city of Philippi in Macedonia. Paul baptized a woman named Lydia and her household in Philippi. Lydia was a seller of purple cloth, which was expensive. The dye for the cloth came from mollusk, a type of shellfish. Lydia's conversion was the start of the establishment of the Church in Philippi."

An officer in the church who is in charge of the articles usually used in worship in a church. These include robes, wine and bread and their containers (for use in communion), silverware (like the chalice), candles and candle holders, sanctuary lamps and so on. each Sunday it is their responsibility to set out the required items for the service (such as bread, wine and the chalice for Communion service) and to clear away, clean and store the items. Also, they are required to change altar cloths when needed either to replave with clean ones or because of the church's season. In some churches they are required to arrange laundry and cleaning of robes and other linen and order replacement consumables like candles, altar breads and wine and to keep account for payment by the church treasurer.

I'm guessing by going to an AngloCatholic church if you're Episcopâlian. If you're of another persuasion, go and speak with the priest.

No, none of them are where

Because it is where the Eucharistic sacrifice is made. It is where heaven and earth converge as the Holy Spirit brings Christ into the bread and wine, transubstantiating them into the body and blood of Jesus. The Liturgy of the Eucharist is experienced simultaneously on heaven and on earth. So, as Catholics, we participate in the Sacrament of the Eucharist with all other Catholics on earth and the perpetual feast of the Lamb in heaven. Since the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith, where Christ is present body, blood, soul and divinity, the altar, place of the sacrifice, therefore, holds a station of high importance in our faith.

Since the Lambeth Conference of 1968, at which styles of address were debated, there has been a trend towards simpler forms of address, Resolution 14 stated: 'The Conference recommends that the bishops, as leaders and representatives of a servant Church, should radically examine the honours paid to them in the course of divine worship, in titles and customary address, and in style of living, while having the necessary facilities for the efficient carrying on of their work'. Whereas formerly a bishop would have been addressed as 'My Lord' and a dean as 'Mr Dean', it has become more usual to address a bishop in speech as 'Bishop' and a dean as 'Dean'. There is, however, a correct way to address clergy on an envelope, which is normally as follows: Archbishop of Canterbury or York The Most Revd and Rt Hon the Lord Archbishop of Archbishop of another Province The Most Revd the Lord Archbishop of Bishop of London The Rt Revd and Rt Hon the Lord Bishop of Diocesan / Suffragan Bishop Either The Rt Revd the Lord Bishop of Or the Rt Revd the Bishop of Assistant / Retired Bishop The Rt Revd J.D.Smith (or John Smith) Dean The Very Revd the Dean of Provost The Very Revd the Provost of Archdeacon The Ven the Archdeacon of Canon The Revd Canon J.D.Smith (or John or Jane Smith) Prebendary The Revd Prebendary J.D.Smith (or John or Jane Smith) Rural Dean No special form of address (The Revd, the Revd Canon, etc) Dean of Oxford / Cambridge College No special form of address Cleric also Professor Either The Revd Professor J.D.Smith Or Professor the Revd J.D.Smith Canon also Professor Either The Revd Canon Professor J.D.Smith Or Professor the Revd Canon J.D.Smith Cleric also Doctor Either The Revd Dr J.D.Smith Or The Revd J.D.Smith (degree) Canon also Doctor The Revd Canon J.D.Smith (degree) Other Clergy / Priest / Deacon The Revd J.D.Smith (or John or Jane Smith) The following points should be noted particularly: # A diocesan or suffragan bishop has a title conferred on him by his consecration or subsequent translation, which he is entitled to hold until he resigns. He then reverts to his personal name, retaining the title 'Right Reverend'. # A dean, provost or archdeacon has a territorial title until he resigns. He then reverts to his personal name, and his title is 'Reverend' unless the rank of dean, provost or archdeacon emeritus has been awarded. # Retired archbishops properly go back to the status of a bishop but may be given as a courtesy the style of an archbishop. # A bishop holding office as a dean or archdeacon is addressed as The Rt Revd the Dean / Archdeacon of. # If a cleric's name or initials are unknown, he or she should be addressed as The Revd - Smith or the Revd Mr / Mrs / Miss / Ms Smith. It is never correct to refer to a cleric as 'The Reverend Smith' or 'Revd Smith'. # There is no universally accepted way of addressing an envelope to a married couple of whom both are in Holy orders. We recommend the style 'The Revd A.B. and the Revd C.D.Smith'.

Moses Orimolade Tunolase, known in his boyhood days as Orimolade Okejebu, was born into the royal family of Omo'ba Ode Sodi of Okorun Quarters, Ikare, Western Nigeria. The year of his birth has traditionally been given as 1879. At the time of his birth, there was no birth registry in Ikare. The art of writing and therefore the keeping of records, had not yet become popular in that locality. We therefore have no authentic record of his birth date. Saint Moses Orimolade is the founder of Cherubim and Seraphim Churches Worldwide.

St. Augustine of Canterbury

King Henry VIII, church of England

The Anglican Church was truly founded in 590 AD when Pope Gregory I sent Augustine an abbot of a monastery to England as a missionary in order to bring Christianity to the once 'heathen' country. St. Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury and is known as the founder of Christianity in England. Over a millenia later, when the 16th century Protestant reformers where breaking from the Roman Catholic Church over various theological issues, the Church in England broke ties with Rome as well, but not over theological issues, but more so over political, ie: land, finances, and a nasty divorce which the pope wouldn't sanction. The Seperated newly independent Church became known as "The Church of England" or "The Anglican Church" and owes its independence from Rome to 'King Henry VIII.' However, to simply say that King Henry VIII is the "founder" of Anglicanism is a bit to simple of a statement, because his contribution was simply to make England independent from Rome, he did not found the Church, the Church was already in place

Perhaps they did Passion Plays in Christian areas. Passion Plays are plays put on by actors that re-enact the life of Jesus, including his cruxifiction and resurrection to share the life and teachings on Jesus with people in an engaging way.

Originally, the priest who was overseeing a church was called a Vicar. The residence for him was called a vicarage. Then, they called the priest overseeing a church a Rector. The residence for him was called a Rectory. Priests still live in a rectory nearby his church.

An Anglican bishop is usually addressed in letters as follows: The Right Rev'd (name), Bishop of (name of city diocese). This is for the name and address field. For example, The Right Reverend Bishop James Harvey, Bishop of New York. 22 Bishop's Gate, London Square, etc. In the opening or salutation of a letter you can either write "Dear Bishop Harvey", or the more formal greeting of "Your Grace" instead of "Dear..." The formal way to end a letter is to write, "I remain, Your obedient servant" or the informal way of "Yours faithfully." Note In England the letter should start 'My Lord'. Only the Archbishops are addressed as 'Your Grace'.

In the early days of the Reformation Protestants frowned upon the Catholic Church; indeed, the word "Protestant" means "one who protests." In this case the founder of the Reformation, Martin Luther, protested the various "indulgences" that the Catholic Church would bestow, for the right price; most of these included a letter that would guarantee a deceased relative's entry into Heaven.

Tensions have eased, in general, between the two movements in more recent times, although some on each side remain biased against the other side for various reasons.

it is spelt hymns ot hyms

A "collect" is simply a Prayer Book term for a prescribed prayer. There are collects which are repeated at every act of worship and collects which are particular to each week and to certain holy days. In the main they are all drafted in beautiful language.
