This young chap is a real personification of the "hard-bitten reporter" who just spits out the facts. We can certainly use more of this style in the general passing on of information nowadays. It is very good that the list of the topics is given in the "show more" because he spouts off the facts pretty darn fast! That is true of all of his videos, which are nice and helpful.

Great video, I'm part of the ACNA and I thought you overviewed us well.

[ryannafziger]

This was a very informative video, I appreciate how you provided a comprehensive video starting with the sacraments, moved on to more theological issues, and ended with moral issues and matters of church organization. I have attended an ACNA congregation for the past 2 years, and my one sentence review for anyone interested in attending is that it is sort of like liturgical church with training wheels. As is typical across many Christian congregations, its members are friendly and loving people with the full intention to serve the Kingdom through the means they have at their disposal.

I discovered you only an hour or so ago, and can't tell you just how thoroughly I admire your totally competent, perfectly reportorial style in these videos.

[matthew]

Wow, what an incredibly informative video. I've been looking into Anglicanism and this answered a lot of my questions about the ACNA, since it's clear there are differing opinions within.

[AmericanShia]

Very thorough presentation. I don't have a copy of the ACNA canons, so it was good to see excerpts from that document.

[intergalactichumanempire]

Thanks for making this! I have a friend in the ACNA

[rankinplemmons]

Love your videos! You should do one on the CEEC (Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches!)

[two.six]

Very nice summary. I thought it was interesting that you mentioned the diocese of Fort Worth re: real presence. That is my diocese. And the real presence requirement is true for every church in the diocese except for its largest and oldest parish, St. Andrew's, which is quite protestant evangelical. Still, amongst its parishioners, you could easily find a little of every view you described for an ACNA church.

Very informative, I’m a Canadian Anglican and had no idea what ACNA was.

[johntobey]

One of the original churches was started by Stuart Ruch III and it met in Edmam Chapel on Wheaton College's campus Wheaton, Illinois. One of there forst national conferences met on campus in 1999. Wheaton has a part to play in this and that should be discussed as part of the denominations genesis.

Fantastic Video on the ACNA, I use to be apart of the ACNA but now a Catechumen in the Eastern Orthodox church after finding many disagreements with doctrine with the ANCA and Protestantism in general. Despite this I have good memories and nothing but respect and will advocate cooperation between The Holy Orthodox church and the ACNA for the common missions of Our Lord.

Im Episcopal and love my fellow Anglicans

[barelyprotestant]

Very well done video. I'm part of the REC, which is joined to the ACNA. I do wish to point out that the Articles never deny the canonicity of the Apocrypha. In fact, the Books of Homilies cite them explicitly as Scripture spoken by the Holy Spirit (the Articles state that the Books of Homilies do give us authentic Anglican theology). As well, the Books of Homilies do state that we can refer to the five Ecclesiastical Sacraments as Sacraments.

[konztantien]

You should compare the ACNA and the Global Methodist Church (GMC). Keep up the good work!

[kellyj.azania]

I'm completly new to all of this. Is this the same as the Holy Catholic Church Anglican Rite?

[patrickpilkington]

They're on a path back toward the Roman Catholic Traditional Faith. We all are I truly feel. God will lead us all in Love and Faith. Pray to St. Robert Bellarmine for intercession.

[azzad]

Interesting that the ACNA adds the 39 articles into their confession as the TEC never held the 39 Articles as a standard clergy or members had to subscribe, follow or even learn (except from 1871-1904).

[thomassharp]

Is the Southern Episcopal Church now part of the ACNA ?

[redknightsr]

I went to one ACNA church service that was in a Jewish synagogue (nothing wrong with that).

It was extremely low church and was run by guys who seemed to have left their evangelical type church to start up an ACNA church. They had a very low church Anglican liturgy. I was thoroughly disappointed.

I hope I find a better place
