- We
believe HOLY ORDERS of Bishop, Priest, and Deacon are open only
to believing men, following Biblical practice, the universal practice
of the Holy Catholic Church, and as intended by our Book of Common
Prayer.
-
We believe the integrity of the sacramental functions of the EPISCOPATE,
and according to the Apostolic model, as evangelists, guardians
of the faith, and caring shepherds of the flock, shall be placed
above the administrative responsibilities that have so often caused
mischief in the churches of former years.
- We
believe the historic BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER is regarded as a doctrinal
standard and our common liturgy. We worship according to the 1928
American edition of the Book of Common Prayer, the 1962 Canadian
edition, or the 1662 English Book of Common Prayer. We respect
liturgical expression established by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer
in 1549, and the 1552 version as set forth by the Act of Uniformity,
and other national equivalents so far as the faith is kept entire
by them.
-
We believe in the unique salvation of Jesus Christ and pledge
our commitment to the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ about Himself:
"I am the WAY, the Truth, and the Life: and no man cometh
to the Father, but by me."
WE
GIVE OUR WITNESS BEFORE GOD, to all believers in Christ, unbelievers
and those who claim the name of Christ for themselves while disdaining
Our Lord's own words about Himself.
SIGNED,
In the Name of GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON and GOD the HOLY GHOST,
the Bishops of THE ANGLICAN CHURCH INTERNATIONAL COMMUNION.
