Being Anglican
“In the primary things, unity; in the secondary things, generosity; in all things, charity” St Augustine
There are many different ways of being a Christian. Being Anglican is a way that offers room to breathe, to think, to pray, to explore and to grow wise in the knowledge of God.
The Anglican Church is an affiliation of independent national or regional churches in communion with the Church of England, which may be regarded as the “Mother Church” of this worldwide family. So, more accurately it should be referred to as the Anglican Communion. There are about 77 million Anglican Christians in the world.
There is a very wide divergence of opinion and worship-style to be found within Anglican churches. The Anglican Church has been termed a “broad church”, a large home in which people can find somewhere to worship, learn and find friendship.
