6 Reasons YOU Should Be Anglican

Not a lot of Anglicans are proudly affirming the superiority of the Anglican tradition. But if we call ourselves Anglican, we must think it is the best option out there? Right? Here is why I think everyone should become Anglican.

Here is a link to the video I mention on Branch Theory:

CofE here, love this video. Really great explanation on the positives of the wider Anglican church.

A great video brother! I joined a local Anglican Church at the end of 2022 after visiting. One of the things that drew me in was the biblical preaching, and the liturgy. The music was God centred and theologically sound, not like a concert as i had in my old church. And to hear the various creeds being recited every week was something I've never experienced before. Truly beautiful and I think it's safe to say I've found my spiritual home in the Anglican Church. You're pretty well articulated as well, good job. Will be giving you a sub for sure.

Thank you. A good summary of the "stable middle ground" position of Anglicanism. You give almost all the same motivations that I have for remaining an Anglican.

[Anglochog]

You made Anglicanism sound so good. I like how you emphasise the diversity of belief in Anglicanism, instead of pushing your own specific beliefs as the "Anglican position" on certain topics.

As a former Catholic and now High Church Protestant (discerning between Lutheranism and Anglicanism) this video has been extremely helpful in my journey.

I'm re exploring my lost Anglican roots. Bless you for this podcast

I feel blessed to be part of an Anglican Church in Hertfordshire UK. I’ve really been neglecting god but the last few days I’ve been finding that fire for god I once had. Reading the Bible and using an app to remind me to pray has really kept me on track.

Really great video! I'm a Reformed Protestants (not Calvinist) who knows why I am a historical Protestant. But Lutheranism and Anglican have presented themselves as real (and I'll say even better) options to being the continued expression of the catholic faith. Please pray for me!

We got our Apostolic Succession from Gregory the Great, and we have the AV Bible, the Prayer Book 1662/1928, and the 39 Articles, so we don't have to worry what Welby or Francis are saying or doing.

Haven't went to church in forever and have been studying on which one I would want to attend. My area is mainly just baptist churches, and I never agreed with catholocism all the way, just with a lot of their points. Anglicanism is what is closest to my beliefs and this video has been a huge help. Thank you!

[jonathanbennigsen]

Great video, thank you! This gets at a lot of why I'm drawn to Anglicanism over Presbyteriansim. Broadly they are very similar (I'd say high church Presbyteriansim and mid church Anglicanism are very close in theology and style) but to me Anglicanism has always been much more sensitive in it's approach. It's evident one of Cranmer's main aims was to bring unity in what was a very divisive time. John Knox on the other hand took over Edinburgh cathedral and a lot of his followers destroyed stain glass windows and organs for being "too catholic". It was much more like a revolution than a reformation at times. I think the Anglican Church is truly "reformed" both in it's theology but also they way in which it went about it.

Well said brother. I am new to Anglican churches ( ACNA) and I love it. The litugy is an attraction to me. I believe it has made me more mindful and successful in my daily walk, but I have a long way to go. I am trying to do the daily office each day. I also think it is making me more bold about my fairh too. Great job on this video.

Eastern Orthodox here. I just want to send message of love and respect and support to Anglicans ☦

[revstevencabbott]

Great work here! Thank you for creating this valuable content. I've heard my parishioners saying how much they have enjoyed and benefited from your videos.

[SMD]

Thank you for this video - it is good to finally see something positive being presented about Anglicanism! I am a New Zealander, and descend from English Anglican families dating from Henry VIII’s establishment of the church; ten generations of Anglican priests! So it is well and truly in my blood! I made my own decision of faith aged 16 within an Anglican church, and always find I connect best to God through our liturgy, and the quietness and calm of our worship. I always felt proud of our umbrella of faith that I was taught during my confirmation, allowing for diversity within unity (although nowadays I do feel concerned how far from Biblical and traditional church teachings we seem to be straying). I loved the writings of C S Lewis, and John Stott, et al, and they shaped my faith as I grew into adulthood. I benefitted from reading why Lewis chose Anglicanism over Catholicism, which Tolkein hoped he would embrace. So thank you for working to encourage those of us who have loved being Anglican, but can feel discouraged and a little lost in today’s confusion within Anglicanism.

I learned about your channel from Barely Protestant, glad to see another Anglican channel out there.

[joedenby]

Thank you for this Reformed Zoomer has been a big help for me to untangle alot of knots and he led me to your channel. I English and have been going to an Anglican church for over a year. I am happy to tell you that in May of this year I will be making my confirmation.

[Nate_Higgins]

Great arguments. I would probably attend a more "orthadox" Anglican church is there was one nearby, but I am lucky enough to have a beautiful Episcopal Church in my neighborhood. I'm a new Christian so I feel so grateful to have a wonderful church close by. The liturgy is so moving to me. I definitely don't leave church on Sunday with the feeling that Christ is optional. God be with you.

The music, the music, especially the English hymnody, is another reason to be Anglican!
