It’s the latest in a string of crises to rock the small, conservative denomination.
Continuing Anglicans Split Over Churchmanship
Two small continuing Anglican churches have ended a full communion agreement that dates to 2007. They cited differences in churchmanship and the authority of the “Affirmation of St. Louis,” a 1977 text that played a central role in launching the Continuing Anglican movement.
Provocative social-media posts, and the decision of the United Episcopal Church of North America to explore fellowship with a conservative German Reformed denomination, heightened tensions with the Anglican Catholic Church.
Our German Cousins: Litury in the Evangelical and Reformd Church
Anglicans tend to worry about liturgy in the same way that cage-stage Calvinists worry about the Ordo Salutis – obsessively. This can blind them to the fact that the Eucharistic Rite of the Book of Common Prayer is not a unique creation, but the product of the widespread endeavor to reform the liturgy in accordance with the principles of the Protestant Reformation. One of the more interesting byways that I have discovered thanks to the UECNA’s engagement with former Evangelical and Reformed congregations is the strong “family resemblance” of their Eucharistic rite to the two main Anglican Orders. Both Anglicanism, and the Evangelical and Reformed Church evolved from bodies which succeeded in reconciling the Lutheran and Reformed impulses within the Reformation, so it should come as no surprise that – like the Windsors and the Hohenzollerns – the two churches ended up with a strong resemblance to one another not just in terms of theology, but liturgy.

Republicans increasingly stand alone, PRRI finds
A significant majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump is leading the nation in the wrong direction and disagree with his handling of the economy, immigration and foreign policy, according to a new annual survey by Public Religion Research Institute.
Most Americans now see Trump as a dangerous dictator
After months of data collection and analysis, we at PRRI have just released our 16th annual American Values Survey, conducted in partnership with our colleagues E.J.

7 Christmas Eve Service Ideas That Work
I’m a big fan of Christmas Eve. Attendance is generally up at all churches during the Christmas season, as even the most unchurched have a little voice nagging them to go. We’ve decided at Brookwood Church to put all our eggs in the Christmas Eve basket because it’s THE service of the year (along with Easter Sunday), even beyond Christmas cantatas and December Sundays, when people are most likely to darken the door of a church. We all need Christmas Eve service ideas.
