Classical Anglicanism?

[MKJ]

I would suggest that something being in a dictionary doesn't really tell us whether it is a desiarable use or not - dictionaries don't neccesarily work that way.

For example, you can find the word "irregardless" in some dictionaries, which is a word that should never see the light of day, or even the common but totally incorrect understanding of the phrase "begs the question" which renders useles the actual meaning of the term.

However, in this case I beieve the meaning of exposit and expound are slightly different and both are words.

Quite right, and I think of that every time someone insists that because a certain word is given a certain definition in the dictionary--often along with a half-dozen alternate meanings--that it is final. The dictionary, as you said, reports on all uses of the word, even slang and incorrect ones if they are common enough.

When I think of Classical Anglicanism, I always think about the blog The Conciliar Anglican, which is operated by Fr. Jonathan. I highly recommend the blog, as I've learned a lot about Anglicanism from Fr. Jonathan's posts. He also contributes to "The Living Church" magazine, which is a bit conservative leaning and is written from a more catholic point of view. Classical Anglicanism is generally going to involve some sort of adherence to the 39 Articles. Fr. Jonathan, for example, views them as being extremely important and deserving of more attention, yet he does not see them as a confessional statement, but more as guidelines. The truth is, if you ask 10 Anglicans what classical Anglicanism is, you will probably get 10 different answers. However, any answer is bound to emphasize the 39 Articles.

I enjoy Fr. Jonathan's blog as well - it's been a great resource for my recent (and continuing) exploration of Anglicanism over the past month or so.

I have read in that blog before! I have learned things there for sure. I was actually considering a new thread to ask for other good Anglican/Episcopal blogs.

He does seem to have a fetish for trashing evangelicals.

If he were in England, he would be free to speak his mind while being bankrolled by evangelicals.

That's a good idea for a thread. I have quite the list of blogs that I read that I'd be glad to share.

I would also recommend that website. I would also recommend Maple Anglican's blog, website, and youtube channel.

Furthermore, the idea that Fr. Jonathan "trashes" evangelicals is absurd. I've read all his blog entries on his personal website and watched all his youtube videos, and he's actually said a lot of positive things.

In terms of music, I know that the parish I attend when visiting family in North Carolina has a solemn liturgy that I think uses Merbecke's Noted Prayerbook for musical portions. I'd say that's pretty classical

MOD HAT ON

Please remember to address the topic and NOT the person when you post. No flaming! Thank you. I've cleaned up a couple of posts from the thread.

Do you have any examples of this? He always seems to promote Anglicanism as Catholic AND Evangelical.

Then I guess it is a good thing he is in The Episcopal Church and not the Church of England

It seems to be an allusion to the fact that in some English dioceses it's a few, large, evangelical parishes that bring in much of the income. In some cases those parishes make a big thing of this and even try to hold the diocese to ransom.

Do these congregation and dioceses have names?

They usually do.

 

[Rurik]

They usually do.

So how about you answer the question then?

[Liberasit]

That's how conversations usually work.

 

[MKJ]

Your not stupid so don't act like it and try contributing to the conversation rather then sapping life from it. You made a statement that some evangelical parishes hold the dioceses to ransom. Liberasit asked you which ones then you started being coy. Answer her question which diocese are being held to ransom.

It is better that names are not mentioned.

Liberasit's initial comment rather suggested the comment is true anyway.

Commenting that one group is bankrolling another points to a particular attitude and thought process. If it is at all common among churchgoers, it is hard to imagine that it wouldn't result in people using that financial power.

It's probably better to focus on one's own thought processes rather than malign another's. Just saying.
