Anglican Connection – at The Gospel Coalition Conference

Rosen Shingle Creek Conference Center, April 13-15

In the diversity of Anglicanism in North America, there is one stream that is largely unknown – classic, reformational Anglicanism that is found in some of the significant churches in England and in Australia. Let me explain by way of a personal note.

Personal. In 2000 Tim Keller invited me to start a new church in New York City. He commented that both Presbyterianism and Anglicanism are important facets of the culture in New York and the North East. He said at the time that there would be many in the city with Anglican associations whom Redeemer would not reach. To this end, I was invited to New York to set up a new church. To quote my appointment letter, I was ‘seconded as an Anglican minister from Sydney’.

In the early stages of Christ Church New York City, people who joined us came to learn of the distinctive features of The Book of Common Prayer. For historical and theological reasons this is something largely unknown in North America.

Classic Anglicanism is committed to the unique authority of the Scriptures as God’s Word written, to the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for our salvation, and to the ministry priority of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. My focus on ‘Reformational Anglicanism’ in New York was not simply for the sake of continuity with the work of the English Reformers of the 16th century but for the sake of the gospel. Keep reading
