Dedicated to the Bishops of the Anglican Communion, meeting at Canterbury,England for the Lambeth Conference of 1998, this fine book is written by twopresbyters of the Anglican Way. The Prayer Book Societies of the Anglican world have posted or will give a copy of it to every bishop attending the Conference.

This book does not commend the Anglicanism which is dominant in the western churches (the Church of England, the ECUSA. and Anglican Church in Canada) but commends that Holy Faith, which is the dynamic religion of the orthodox and biblically-based Anglican Churches of Africa and Asia. This book is an exposition of the historic and eminently viable ANGLICAN WAY which exists as a communion of persons through, in and with the Lord Jesus Christ to theFather and with the Holy Spirit.

The classic Anglican Way looks to the ONE Canon of Holy Scripture, with its TWO Testaments, understood with the Faith expressed in the THREE Creeds and by the doctrinal teaching of the first FOUR Ecumenical Councils (Nicea, Constantinople, Ephesus and Chalcedon) within the developing life and tradition of the first FIVE Centuries of the Christian era.

Further, the Anglican Way stands firmly on the foundation provided by its historic Formularies: The Book of Common Prayer, The Thirty-Nine Articles, The Homilies and The Ordinal. Further, in relation to other bodies the Churches of the Anglican Way express their commitment via the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral (Holy Scripture, Creeds, Sacraments and Historic Episcopate).

This Via Anglicana, whose origins lie in the days when the Roman soldiers entered England, is the culture and religion of the Ecclesia Anglicana, before, during, and after the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century. Once an English Way it became via the British Empire and noble missionary work, the Anglican Way for people of many places and languages. The Book of Common Prayer adapted to local needs was translated into many languages and is the means by which millions praise the Lord and live ordered, godly lives.

The Anglican Way is a total Way of life for the national church, the parish, the family and the individual person. In it is a dynamic, godly order for 365 days each year until the Lord Jesus comes again in glory to judge the living and the dead. The Anglican Way is a way of discipleship, holiness, order, evangelism, mission, daily prayer and public worship on Sundays and Holy Days. It is genuinely comprehensive, with its varieties related like the spokes of a wheel to a fixed and indispensable center!

In this book it is argued that if the Anglican Churches wish to remain biblically orthodox they must stay firmly attached to their Common Prayer and use modern liturgies and ex tempore prayer and services in the light of the doctrine and ethics of this great heritage of holy, ordered Prayer. To abandon the Common Prayer is in fact to abandon the biblical, historic and classic Anglican Way.

This book comes with the commendation of the Prayer Book Societies of the Anglican Communion.

Think of buying a copy for yourself, your parish priest, or a friend.
