It is important to begin with two comments:
1) This paper was inspired by something J.I. Packer wrote in 1995

2) I need to define ‘Anglicanism’. You will notice that I qualify it as ‘historic’ Anglicanism. What do I mean? I mean the Anglican way – the way of the Church of England as defined by the three historic documents:
the Book of Common Prayer (1662); the Ordinal (for Bishops, Priests and Deacons); the 39 Articles of Religion. We find the doctrines, beliefs and ethos of historic Anglicanism in these documents.
Let me now turn to these ten elements.

very nice and how true. Seems sad to see the current nonsense which is passing for historic anglicanism when I see such a good article with foundation.
