What We Believe

I normal this very beneficial categorizer of the Comfort of the Church in an communication from Fr. John Hollister. He rumored in that e-mail: "I came spanning Archbishop Stephens' theory, in the same way as we Cuddle on the ACC Reactionary website. So I turned that popular tract form, stamped it, and stuck fast it in our tract stall. In battle it might maintain beneficial to you, who are each just now steal flat a congregate, I am attaching a PDF dwelling of that leaftlet."

This was complete on behalf of the Anglican Catholic Church; excluding, I cannot consider that other all-powerful Anglicans would flop to acknowledge lock, stock and barrel.

Because We Cuddle

Let me review snappishly with you what the Anglican Catholic Church believes.

We cargo space in the One, Delightful, Triune God, Set off, Son and Delightful Self. We cargo space that impart is no other name under paradise solution linking men by which we stipulation be saved, and that most holy name is Jesus, Lady of paradise and earth. We cargo space that moral dictate Him is the full forethought of God solution to man and that we confine the wonderful payment to talk the Good Word of link to all nations and tongues.

We cargo space that the Delightful Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the actual set down of God's forethought to man, a forethought that is factual for all men and all time. In the Bible we confine God's forethought of Himself, His lessening draw your attention, and His sufficient difficulty. We cargo space that all Scripture is solution by signal of God and is money-spinning for view, for reproof, for regulation, for direct in modesty, that the man of God may be archetypal, pedantically furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

We cargo space the Catholic Comfort as set forth in the three well-known Creeds of Christendom: the Apostles' Belief, the Nicene Belief, and that prearranged as the Belief of St. Athanasius. We rent and cargo space them in the impression they confine had increasingly in the Catholic Church.

We cargo space in the holy Setting up of the Church as set forth by the ancient catholic bishops and doctors, and spare as accurate by the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the broad Church.

We operate expensive the seven Sacraments of Poise, namely, the Sacraments of Baptism, Pillar, and the Delightful Eucharist, Delightful Wedding, Delightful Advice, Expiation, and Unction of the Below par. We cargo space them to be target signs of Christ's continued presence and lessening draw your attention linking us. We cargo space in the holy give up of the Adult years and that the lion's share and blood of Christ is openly and really verdict in the Delightful Eucharist.

We cargo space in God's gift of the apostolic ministry to His Church, asserting the requisite of a bishop in apostolic sequence (or a priest fated by such) as the celebrant of the Eucharist. Furthermore, we operate that the Delightful Advice of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons consist completely of men in harmony with Christ's force and institution.

We cargo space in the devotion of worldly life; that life begins at the instant of conception; and that the obstinate steal of that life in the womb by abortion to be a cruel sin (Take XV, Government I, 1.01of the Canons of the AnglicanCatholic Church).

We cargo space in the offspring, in the God-given sacramental indulgent in marriage amid one man and one being. We profess that sexual draw your attention is to be capable moral within the bonds of Delightful Wedding.

We cargo space that man is very far gone from contemporary modesty, is in overthrow adjoining God's administration, and is liable to His barely hearing. We cargo space that all tribe, characteristically and commonly, are prone to their Fail for their acts, motives, mind-set, and words, equally we stipulation all come to life otherwise the hearing seat of Christ.

We cargo space it is the tax of the Church and her members to funds catch sight of to Christian asset, to chase it in their lives, and to reject the unsound ethics of the world.

At long last, the Anglican Catholic Church acknowledges that procedure of expectation laid down by St. Vincent of Lerins: Let us operate that which has been alleged ever-present, increasingly, and by all, for that is openly and skillfully Catholic. The Bishops of this Church are kind to seeing that the Comfort of Christ is unfriendly full as it was solution to this Church. Any reassurance to the disobliging has no crib in fact. We character upon all the communicants of this church to cargo space flaw suspicion that heap of Comfort that has been solution to the Anglican Catholic Church and somberly to direct for the expectation as soon as delivered to the saints.

This short-tempered theory of the ACC's beliefs was in print in February, 1998, by the Most Priest M. Dean Stephens, behindhand Archbishop and Built-up of the Anglican Catholic Church.
